Sandwiched on the border of Nedlands and Shenton Park, Kith Eatery is the latest hospitality project of husband-wife duo Joel Sneeuwjagt and Jess Chisari-Sneeuwjagt who are honed in the art of transforming overlooked Perth spots.
After selling their share of Some-day Coffee Co in Floreat and finishing another season of Cottesloe’s summer pop-up kiosk Ol’ Buoy, the couple were on the hunt for a new venue.
The product? Kith. An eatery designed to be a focal point for those who appreciate both good food and good company. The best part? The brand-new venue is set to open in just a few weeks.
Breathing new life into a long-neglected Nedlands deli site
“We came across this site in Nedlands, which was previously a classic local deli called Jack Spratt’s. Interestingly, we approached the business owners about four years ago, as we thought it would be a great location. But they turned us away and weren’t interested,” Chisari-Sneeuwjagt said.
Three years later, her father drove by and noticed the site was vacant.
“We contacted the landlords and here we are now — about to get started on the build for an end-of-August opening,” she said.
Kith hails from Old English, referring to one’s friends, neighbours, and the familiar pleasures of one’s native land.
“True to its name, the eatery offers a space where design and comfort converge, featuring a modern, boutique atmosphere infused with nostalgic elements of 1970s typography and distinctive interior design.”
“It’s a place where each element is thoughtfully curated to enhance the daily ritual of dining, making Kith Eatery not just another neighbourhood eatery, but a pivotal gathering spot in the Nedlands vibrant community landscape.”
Sandwiches, speciality coffee, and all-day brunch
The eatery will be open for breakfast and lunch; the pair are also hoping to launch evenings soon.
“During the day, there will be a big focus on made-to-order sandwiches, speciality coffee, and signature drinks. But we’ll also have your classic all-day dine-in brunch options available.”
“The evenings are all about good-quality local produce and dishes that are simple but full of flavour to share amongst friends over a spritz or a glass of wine.”
The duo have also teamed up with East Perth hard hitter, Teeter Bakery. So, you’ll be able to get your handmade pastry and basque cheesecake fix while you’re at it.
“With Sir Charles Gardiner around the corner, we also want to provide super tasty and quick options for the doctors and nurses by offering an online ordering system and delivery to the hospital.”
Kith Eatery is set to open at the end of August at 51 Abedare Road in Nedlands.
