FLUFF Cafe & Eatery: Asian Fusion Brunch and All-Day Dining
FLUFF Cafe & Eatery runs a genuinely wide-ranging menu, blending Vietnamese, Korean and Japanese-inspired dishes with classic café brunch staples. The result is a menu that moves comfortably from a slow-cooked pho broth to a stacked brunch plate, all under one roof.
Pho and Vietnamese Classics
The kitchen's pho is a genuine centrepiece, built on an 8-hour herb broth. The Vietnamese Beef Rib Pho loads in beef rib, tender beef flank, slow-cooked brisket and beef balls, while the Special Beef Noodle and standard Beef Noodle – Pho Bo offer variations on the same rich broth. For something different, the Spicy Beef Noodle – Bun Bo Hue leans into a lemongrass-infused broth with a hint of shrimp paste. Beyond soup, the Vietnamese Sandwich (Banh Mi), Hanoi Grilled Pork Vermicelli, and a range of spring and summer rolls round out the Vietnamese side of the menu.
Brunch, Sando and Bowls
FLUFF's all-day breakfast menu covers the essentials — Eggs Your Way, a Big Breakfast, and the signature FLÜFFY Toast with a choice of toppings — alongside a Benny and a custard-stuffed French toast called the Frenchie. The Sando range brings Japanese and Korean influences to the sandwich format, from a Gogi Cheesesteak Sando with bulgogi beef and kimchi, to a Pork Katsu Sando and a vegetarian Mushroom Pesto Sando. Rice and salad bowls follow a similar pattern, with a Bulgogi Beef Rice Bowl, a yuzu-glazed Salmon Bowl, and a Vegan Mushroom Bowl all built around the same fresh bean sprouts, edamame, carrot and sweet corn base.
Drinks, Coffee and Cake
Coffee is caffeinated by Society Coffee, covering the full espresso range alongside batch brew, cold brew and iced coffee. FLUFF also serves vegan certified Belgian hot and iced chocolate from Bon Accord, a matcha latte made with vegan certified matcha powder, and loose leaf tea from Tea Total. For something more inventive, the Other Drinks menu includes housemade sodas, freshly pressed juices, and drinks like the Feijoa Flamingo Soda and Fizzy Purple Lemon. The cabinet stays stocked with muffins, an almond croissant, scones, caramel slice, a gluten-free brownie and cinnamon rolls.
Dietary Care
Throughout the menu, dishes are clearly marked vegetarian, vegan or gluten free, making it straightforward for diners with dietary requirements to find something that suits, from the Vegan Mushroom Bowl and Crispy Mushroom Bites through to the gluten-free Brownie and multiple gluten-free mains.
