The perfect spot for a bit of people watching.
Francis Street has a gorgeous new café to check out.
Rumi is run by three sisters, Esra Leyla, Esma, and Derya Balkir, and is named after the Persian poet and philosopher. The café is Mediterranean / Turkish, as the sisters come from Turkish roots, and the space is decorated with Turkish kilim rugs in bright, vibrant colours, sourced from their father’s shop, Oriental Rugs, also on Francis Street.
Rumour has it the a new face will arrive on Francis Street next week. Rumi Cafe has been blinging up a corner of the street in recent weeks. The new cafe will feature great coffee and tasty bites and a spot of people watching. pic.twitter.com/BA2HNah1fO

The ambience for the café is perfect, with a cloudy blue ceiling reminiscent of the sky, and huge windows that allow a ton of light to come in – and for people watching. Rumi serves Imbibe coffee from Dolphins Barn as their blend of choice.
Currently Rumi serves fresh treats such as croissants, muffins, and Turkish pastries, as well as savoury lunch items, including paninis, salads, and soups. Every customer gets a free Turkish Delight with their purchase as well, that far exceeds any you have tried before.
