The Glass House Cafe

The Glass House Cafe is a relaxed meeting place on the upper level of South.Point Shopping Centre in Tuggeranong. It caters to several kinds of visits, whether you are picking up a takeaway coffee and snack, sitting down for a meal, catching up with friends or colleagues, or arranging food for an office event. The cafe describes its setting as stylish and easy-going, with freshly ground coffee, conversation, soft music and friendly staff shaping the atmosphere.

Breakfast is a substantial part of the menu, with options ranging from toast, eggs and wraps to more filling plates. The Glass House Breakfast combines sourdough, bacon, grilled tomato, mushroom, baby spinach, sausage, hash brown and eggs, while the Rosti Stack pairs house-made potato rosti with spinach, a choice of ham, bacon or smoked salmon, poached eggs and hollandaise. There are also vegetarian choices, including the Vegetarian Breakfast Plate, corn fritters and a vegetarian brekkie wrap. For something sweeter, the blueberry pancake and French toast offer a different start to the day.

At lunch, the menu moves through burgers, wraps, sandwiches, mains and salads. Choices include the Angus Beef Burger, Greek Pulled Lamb Burger, Chicken Katsu Wrap, tempura-battered barramundi, lemon pepper calamari and zucchini fritters. The salads and bowls provide lighter alternatives, including a Caesar salad, crispy chicken salad, Asian-style slaw and a chicken burrito bowl. The kitchen describes its cooking as influenced by Asian and Mediterranean flavours, with seasonal availability of fresh local produce informing the menu.

Drinks cover espresso-based coffee, tea, iced drinks, milkshakes, smoothies, frappes and fresh juices. Catering is also a significant part of the offering, with packages designed for meetings, events and corporate clients, including options intended for office eating. Families have a dedicated kids menu, while the mix of quick drinks, full meals and flexible seating suits solo diners, informal group lunches and family catch-ups.
