Coffee · Music · Community

Sip slowly.
Listen deeply.

A neighbourhood listening café on Getathuru Road. Thoughtful coffee, good records and room to stay awhile.

Meet the founder

A room built for listening.

Sonique started with a simple idea: a café where the music matters as much as the coffee.

Every corner of the room – the paintings on the walls, the CDs on the shelf, the cups on the bar – is chosen to make it somewhere you want to stay a while.

The space

Paintings on the walls, music in the air. Come for a cup, stay for the room.

Music at Sonique

Read the room.

Music isn't background noise here; it's part of the ritual. Whoever's on the decks plays to the people in the room, and the shelf is open: pick a CD, press play, and settle in.

In the Mix

Curated CDs and dedicated listening stations

A shelf of books to browse and get lost in

Games for slow afternoons and new friends

Leave a thought.

A line for whoever sits here next.

Behind the bar

Meet the barista.

Behind the bar is someone who cares about every cup, from the first espresso of the morning to the teas blended in-house.

Gather at Sonique

Small room.
Big energy.

Listening sessions, conversations, intimate performances and community meet-ups. There's always another reason to gather.
