Cafe Bema

Paddington

Café Bema is a cool tropical garden café nestled out front of a Paddington cottage, serving out-of-the-ordinary breakfast and lunches prepared by an award-winning chef.

Occupying the space that for years housed popular local Lure, Café Bema makes an inviting place to drop in for a delicious bite in the breezy courtyard garden under a shady tree.
