Süreyya Kahve Is Coming to West End, and It’s Redefining What a Cafe Can Be

West End locals looking for a cafe that takes nutrition as seriously as its coffee are about to have a new option on Mollison Street. Süreyya Kahve is preparing to open its doors in late April inside Function Well’s soon-to-open luxury wellness hub, and it’s shaping up to be one of the more interesting additions to the suburb’s already well-loved cafe scene.

The concept comes from husband-and-wife duo Dr Oz Dedehayir and Kristy Morris, the founders of KAILO Group, which has built a reputation as one of Australia’s leading medispa and nutrition brands. For the pair, Süreyya Kahve isn’t a side project — it’s a natural extension of everything they’ve been building in the health and wellness space, this time expressed through food, coffee, and community.

At the heart of it is Dr Oz’s Turkish heritage. The cafe’s name, its identity, and its philosophy are all rooted in that cultural thread, with the team describing the concept as one that looks to redefine cafe culture with an offering centred around intelligent nutrition.

What’s on the menu?

The team is keeping most of the details under wraps for now, but what has been confirmed points to something more considered than the average cafe offering. Süreyya Kahve will serve high-quality, nutrient-dense meals including healthy salads and sandwiches, alongside smoothies infused with KAILO Nutrition supplements. On the coffee side, the venue will be pouring specialty coffee from ST ALi.

The phrase the team keeps returning to is intelligent nutrition, with food and drink designed to do something beyond just tasting good. Given that KAILO Group’s background spans both medispa treatments and nutritional products, there’s genuine expertise sitting behind that promise rather than just marketing language.

West End has long attracted residents who care about where their food comes from, who made it, and what it’s doing for them. The neighbourhood’s cafe culture has leaned independent and values-driven, with locals quick to support businesses that feel like they genuinely belong to the community.

Placing Süreyya Kahve on the ground floor of Function Well’s new luxury wellness hub on Mollison Street reinforces that fit, bringing together fitness, health, and considered eating under one roof.

The Süreyya Kahve team has indicated that more details, including a fuller picture of the menu and the space itself, will be revealed in the coming weeks ahead of the late April opening. It’s early days, but for a suburb that already takes its food and wellbeing seriously, this one is worth keeping a close eye on.

The Allere Collection is the latest addition to the ever-expanding West Village precinct in West End. Developed by Sekisui House and designed by local architecture firm Rothelowman, the mixed-use community is transforming the former Peters Ice Cream factory site into a bustling urban hub. Spanning 2.6 hectares and located just 800 metres from the Brisbane CBD, West Village has redefined the streetscape and turned into a vibrant destination filled with restaurants, retail stores, and entertainment venues.

Despite initial controversy and street blockades when first proposed, the precinct is now thriving, particularly at night and on weekends. The Allere Collection, consisting of two buildings with 203 apartments, is nearing completion, with 95 percent of units already sold. Once construction is finished early this year, residents will enjoy high-end amenities, including a large infinity-edge pool, a spa shaded by mature palm trees, and outdoor lounges with sweeping views of the city.

Henroth Investments is set to deliver two apartment towers at 281-297 Montague Road, standing at 19 and 17 storeys respectively after getting the approval last year. The Sydney-based developer underwent significant design revisions before receiving approval for the 345-unit project, which will be a 5-star Green Star-rated development.

One of the key innovations of this project, designed by The NRA Collaborative, is its focus on sustainability. Traditional corridors are being replaced with green atria, while biophilia filters will be integrated at the ends of landscaped walkways to provide vertical greenery and natural air filtration. This design not only enhances aesthetics but also promotes healthier indoor living environments for residents.
