Greenknowe Cafe

Happy Anniversary to us!

Can't believe our baby cafe Greenknowe is turning 4 this Tuesday, 8th of September. If you can pop in and celebrate with us, that would be amazing!

Our hearts are full.

Maraming salamat po!

Noodles for long life!!

Because September is Greenknowe's birthday month, yayyyy! 🎉

And some days, all you crave for is a classic, freshly cooked, umuusok pa, na pancit canton. 🤤

A lot of customers were walking funny today, thanks to you Sydney Marathon 🤭

Cheers to doing hard things! 💪🏽 Special shoutout to all the Filipino runners from all over the world, including this lovely group all the way from London.

Of course, it had to be Filipino breakkie for recovery because the heart wants what it wants. 💯

Thank you so much for the feature SBS Filipino 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Cheers to more kababayan going after their dreams 🫶

From cruise ships and restaurant kitchens in the Philippines, Chef Jovan Arias turned his dream into reality with the support of his corporate lawyer wife, Sandra. Together, they built a Filipino-Australian-inspired café in Elizabeth Bay, NSW.

Filipino comfort food heaven right here in Sydney 🫶🇵🇭🇦🇺

That one dish that he chose not to tweak ended up being Chef Jo's most personal.

We get asked sometimes "taga-Batangas po ba kusinero nyo?" To which we reply, "may punto pa po!" 🤭

Time to tag your lomi buddy 🤗

Don't be jealous. To all the Filipinos working in the Sydney C*D and surrounds, forward this to your office manager, quick! 🤭

Don't get us wrong, some days are chaotic in this Filipino cafe in Sydney. But most days are like this. Not because it is easy (certainly not). But because the team tries to make it easy for each other.

Keeping life light even just for a moment at Greenknowe. Swing by for a breather 🍃
