Story

Cup & Cook, a cafe and eatery in the waterside suburb of Kyle Bay, offers incredible coffee, lazy all-day breakfasts and a beautiful lunch menu inspired by clean eating and seasonal produce in a cool industrial-vintage setting.

The brainchild of two mates on a mission to bring fine food into everyday spaces, Cup & Cook is run by barista Matthew Oxenham (the “Cup”) and chef Charles Di Marco (the “Cook”). The women behind the guys – wives Jansci and Bianca – make sure that Cup & Cook meets the modern needs of busy families and young folks, whether you’re after a quick meal or a long meandering lunch.

THE STORY.
Matt and Jancsi Oxenham met back in the heady 90’s when they worked together at then-popular Burdekin Hotel in Sydney’s Oxford Street. Serving up cocktails side by side, the crazy hours and the fun of the Sydney nightlife seemed to forge a lifelong passion in hospitality – and love – for these two. They’ve masterminded and run a succession of amazing local dining concepts since then, leading to the launch of Cup & Cook at Kyle Bay.

Charles and Bianca Di Marco make Cup & Cook the place you love behind the scenes. Charles works his magic in the kitchen, after spending years in Sydney’s top restaurants such as Steve Manfredi’s 2-hatted Bel Mondo, 3-hatted Marque under Mark Best, Sydney CBD institution Bambini Trust and local cafe concepts where he found a good mate in Matt Oxenham.

Bianca is an art director in the magazine industry, working across titles such as Australian Gourmet Traveller, The Australian Women’s Weekly, Woman’s Day, Cosmopolitan, Shop Til You Drop and real living. She is responsible for the design and messaging of the Cup & Cook brand.

In May 2017, Cup & Cook won 'MOST OUTSTANDING CAFE' in the St. George Local Business Awards.
