About The Middle Store

Run by MasterChef alumna Rose Adam, this airy Winston Avenue staple trades standard brunch cliches for Lebanese daytime cooking and balanced espresso. Regulars skip the usual eggs on toast for freshly baked cheese manoush, vibrant mezze plates, and house sweets that rotate daily across the counter. The room fills quickly on Saturdays with neighbourhood catch-ups and takeaway coffee runs, backed by a warm kitchen team serving up pumpkin hummus with grilled halloumi.

  • Lebanese-Inspired Menu: Traditional cheese manoush and fresh mezze plates offer a distinctive Middle Eastern spin on suburban daytime dining.
  • Rose Adam's House Bakes: MasterChef alumna Rose Adam runs the friendly dining room and kitchen, featuring house cakes and special Saturday bakes.
  • Consistent Daily Espresso: Reliable, balanced espresso pulled fast for regular morning commutes and office runs.
