Your Bike. Your Workshop. Your Way

Home

RIsing Sun Workshop is Sydney's first communal motorcycle workshop space and Cafe, serving Newtown the best coffee from Single Origin Roasters, the sweetest baked goods around made in house, and one of the most delicious Ramen's in Sydney. The workshop is a community funded space that provides the space and tools for members to either do what they know, or learn from other members.

YOUR BIKE. YOUR WORKSHOP. YOUR WAY.

Rising Sun Workshop cafe is a community driven hub for locals & visitors alike. Like in the workshop, if we can make it ourselves, we will.

Happy 2nd Birthday to us! Today marks our 2nd year being at our permanent home here on Whateley Street. Our team has grown, our menu has evolved, our workshop has become a home to even more DIY wrenchers and we couldn't have done it without all of you! #ittakesavillage

This one's a game changer for those whose younger selves despised brussel sprouts. Deep fried brussels (everything is better deep fried right?) served with Jerusalem artichoke puree, hazelnuts and a vegan nuoc cham. Mum would be proud.

Available for Dinner from 6pm Wednesday - Saturday.

This guy! Nico was working for us in the kitchen when we first opened Whateley Street, our permanent home. Since then he's opened his own deli @myomeio, got married and is now the father of twins. He still finds time to come in to catch up and work on his BMW R80.

Motorcycle electrical systems can be daunting and trying to figure it out on your own can have you banging your head on the wall. It's lucky @lizasarks has Brad on hand to keep the wall damage to a minimum. 📷 @corboy.photography
