ONA Coffee House Cafe Fyshwick

ONA Coffee House Cafe Fyshwick is a Canberra cafe built around specialty coffee, seasonal brunch and the idea of a comfortable home away from home. As the second venue from Canberra-based ONA Coffee, it serves the company’s signature house blends alongside a changing selection of single-origin coffees, roasted for espresso or filter. The baristas are happy to help guests choose a coffee that suits their preferences, making the venue a useful stop for both dedicated coffee drinkers and people who are still finding their way through specialty coffee.

The all-day menu covers breakfast, brunch and lunch, with food made using local ingredients and updated as the seasons change. Familiar cafe choices sit alongside more involved plates, including chilli scrambled eggs with greens and pickled cabbage, avocado toast with poached egg and whipped feta, and cinnamon-soaked French toast with Biscoff custard and strawberry elements. For something more substantial, the menu includes grilled salmon with pumpkin mash and vegetables, a beef burger served with chips, a duck noodle salad, Korean fried chicken with eggs, and a mushroom toast topped with greens, pickled vegetables and parmesan. The menu also includes smaller plates, sides and a dedicated kids’ selection.

Coffee is central, but it is not the only option. The drinks list includes hot chocolate, chai, matcha, tea, cold brew, iced coffees, shakes, thickshakes, juices, kombucha and soft drinks. Takeaway coffee and online ordering make it practical for a quick visit, while the cafe’s cosy setting suits a slower breakfast or brunch. The venue describes itself as a community space in Fyshwick, welcoming regulars and new visitors to share its interest in good coffee and food.

ONA Coffee House is part of a wider story that began with founder Saša Šestić, who won the World Barista Championship in 2015 before opening ONA’s first cafe and roastery in Canberra. The group now has cafes in three Australian states. In Canberra, the Fyshwick venue works well for a solo coffee and meal, a casual catch-up or a family visit, with all-day food, kids’ dishes and plenty of non-coffee drinks. Its menu and approachable coffee guidance also make it a solid choice for groups with different tastes.
