Where IT
BEGAN

Plume (pronounced ploom) is the delicate swirl of
steam that rises from a freshly poured coffee.
The word also refers to the soft feather of a quill pen,
a nod to its French origin.

The name was inspired by our very first location at UNSW, where our
café sits alongside a bookshop. We wanted to honour the quiet ritual
of writing, reading and reflection: the authors, thinkers and students
who turn pages while sipping coffee.

Plume captures both worlds:
the warmth of a cup in hand and the creativity sparked beside it.

Built on Feeling

In today’s environment, wellness is a priority. We are here
to create a considered, peaceful space where anyone can
reset and reconnect over nourishing food and coffee.

Feel Good from the Inside Out

Our offerings are designed to feel both considered and welcoming. Whether it’s a barista-crafted oat flat white or a seasonal salad bowl, every item is created to bring a little more comfort, enjoyment and nourishment to the day. As a 100% Healthy Food and Drink Framework compliant café, we shape our menu around the needs of our customers. Every offering is thoughtfully developed to support wellbeing and balanced living, making it easier to choose food and drinks that are nourishing, satisfying and enjoyable.

Feast your eyes

Experience Plume

Plume is designed to feel like an exhale.

Soft curves, warm lighting and natural textures create a space that feels calm,
modern and intentionally uplifting. In the clinical rhythm of a campuses, our signature soft pink and light maroon palette gently stands apart. We are warm, comforting and quietly reassuring.

Our team and culture reflects the same energy: polished but relaxed, effortless yet intentional. Every detail - from interiors… to uniforms… to service… works like a melody.

Because at Plume, we hope to create a space where you’re not just grabbing a coffee. You’re stepping into a moment. A reset. A pocket of calm where feeling good is part of the experience.

We recently opened our doors at St George Hospital in Kogarah and we couldn't have asked for a lovelier welcome into the community.⁠
⁠
To celebrate opening our newest permanent home, we hosted a "Spin the Wheel", giving away instant treats like our best-selling warm pides, slow-cooked pulled beef sandwiches, freshly brewed coffees, smoothies and even $50 Plume gift cards.⁠
⁠
More than the prizes, our favourite part was seeing healthcare workers, staff and visitors drop their shoulders, take a gentle pause and share a smile with us in our new space. Bringing a soft moment of ease and warmth to your daily routine is what we live for.⁠
⁠
Thank you for welcoming our new branch into your space with open arms. We’re so grateful to be here looking after you every day. 🤍⁠
