Award-winning and proudly local, Papas Coffee was recently crowned the North Shore's most outstanding café — but ask any regular and they'll tell you it's really Willoughby's second home. Tucked away on Frenchs Road, it's the kind of place where you can pull up a chair, slow down, and feel completely at ease.

The menu is where Papas truly shines, blending Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavours with Aussie café favourites. Start with the Palestinian Chicken Musakhan, rich with fragrant olive oil, or the Mediterranean Smashed Avo — an Australian classic lifted with Jordanian za'atar, feta, cherry tomatoes and fresh herbs on toasted multigrain. There's always something new to discover too, from Tunisian Ojja to Truffle-Infused Three Mushroom Toast and heart-warming seasonal dishes. Every plate is made with care, using fresh, flavourful ingredients.

And the coffee? Smooth, bold and delicious, courtesy of Roasting Warehouse.

More than a café, Papas is a genuine community hub — a place built on warmth, familiarity and belonging, where friends and neighbours are always welcome.

Come in, pull up a chair, and stay a while. We'd love to have you.
