I've been following Beit Siti on instagram for quite a while, and immediately put their cafe on my wishlist when its opening was announced in late May. The name means "grandmother's home" in Arabic, and the business pays homage to the Palestinian roots of founder Rahaf Al Khatib.
They're starting slowly and building up. When we arrived at lunch time on a Sunday, the display cabinet was about half sold-out. I missed out on a zaatar and cheese croissant but we happily made do with the alternatives (clockwise from top left): a savoury labaneh croissant ($12), a Danish spread with strawberry jam, dolloped with labaneh and garnished with pomegranate seeds and dill ($10), and a Musakahn Danish of confit onion, sumac and chickpeas ($10). The pastry was beautiful and the fillings so well composed.
Beit Siti post what they've got coming up each morning in their instagram stories: I've spotted labaneh cheesecake brownies, several flavours of focaccia, carrot and walnut cake, and mudjaddarah with a vegan option recently! I'd highly recommend stopping in and taking a chance on whatever's in store.

Beit Siti
150 Bell St, Coburg
Accessibility: Beit Siti has a ramp on entry. Furniture is mostly regular-height tables and backed chairs at medium spacing (though check out the lovely chaise lounge in the top photo!). We noticed that a high chair was available. We ordered and paid at a regular-height counter. We didn't visit the toilets.
