A new wellness cafe in Bondi Beach is drawing huge crowds, with queues spilling out the door on its opening weekend as locals rushed to try what some are calling Sydney’s answer to LA’s cult supermarket Erewhon.

The venue, Common Supply, has just opened on Campbell Parade from the team behind Bondi favourites Pocket and Makaveli.

Already, the Sydney cafe has become a magnet for gym-goers, Pilates devotees, and health-conscious foodies chasing post-workout protein plates, smoothies, and matcha lattes.

The comparisons to the lush LA venue are no surprise, as the American spot has become world-famous for $35AUD celebrity smoothies and organic groceries.

Others have likened Common Supply to Foxtrot Market also in the US, which blends a cafe, pantry, and convenience store into one stylish community space.

Customers say it’s unlike anything else in the Eastern Suburbs.

‘Finally, healthy fast food that doesn’t feel boring,’ one visitor said.

Another added: ‘It’s a game-changer if you’re gluten-free – totally worth the hype.’

Meanwhile, one Bondi local raved, ‘The matcha here is the closest thing I’ve had to Japanese matcha in Sydney.’

Inside the wooden façade, the space is designed with a sleek, futuristic aesthetic.

Stainless steel benches, hanging greenery, and iPad ordering stations that make the experience feel more high-end than your average cafe.

Part grocer, part protein bar, part wellness hub, Common Supply offers build-your-own plates from $25.

You will find premium proteins like grass-fed steak or sustainably caught salmon, paired with sides such as miso purple mash, charred broccolini and cauliflower wings.

Smoothies are priced around $16, while drinks like Maple Sea Salt Lattes ($7.50), Mushroom Cacao ($6.50) and Iced Vanilla Cold Foam Matcha ($8.90) are already proving popular.

Fridges are also stocked with takeaway options including chia pots, yoghurt parfaits, and cold-pressed juices, meaning customers can grab and go, or sit in and enjoy what’s quickly becoming known as one of Bondi’s most ‘vibey’ cafes.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, owner Jacob Hill said the concept was inspired by a craving for food that was both fast and premium.

‘The idea for Common Supply actually started back home in the UK but really came to life here in Sydney,’ he said.

‘It grew from a genuine need – not just from me but from friends and family too – for fast, healthy food that could be enjoyed in or taken away after a busy day.

‘It’s something I was always craving but could never really find.’

Hill, who has lived in Bondi for 10 years, said the beachside suburb was the obvious choice for the first location.

‘Bondi felt like the only place it could start. It’s the heart of that lifestyle we’re all drawn to – healthy, active, social.

‘There’s such a strong sense of community here and it made sense to build something that could become part of people’s daily routines.’

While comparisons to Erewhon have flooded social media, Hill insists the concept was never about imitation.

‘We don’t mind the comparisons – it’s a nice compliment – but it was never the intention.

‘Common Supply was designed from scratch around a craving for something fresh, fast and healthy.

‘Every part of the space was designed and built by us, so the aesthetic, feel and flavours are completely our own.’

Among the most popular menu items so far are the Common Steak Plate – complete with the now-famous purple miso mash – and the Choccy Supply smoothie.

‘The matchas have gone absolutely crazy too,’ Hill said.

With Bondi locals already making it part of their daily routine, Common Supply looks set to cement itself as the eastern suburbs’ latest wellness obsession – and a taste of LA’s health culture with a distinctly Sydney twist.
