The food was amazing, our group all chose different meals and they were all so delicious. Great thing was - they were all a variation to what you may find on the typical brunch menu. As amazing as the food was - the service was too. We never had to ask for more water top ups - it was always brought to us - even on a busy Sunday. Totally worth the drive to visit.
Amazing food, great atmosphere, excellent staff, this is a well oiled machine! Had the mushroom stack of course, which is off the charts yummy. When I ordered, the staff member listened to every detail of what I said including delivery of a tea at the exact time of almost finishing my meal. No one gets that right. Perfect experience. Bravo.
Such a lovely cafe in the heart of Balwyn! A must order is the crispy eggs with ham hock, and apple & walnut salad served on toast. Also had a lovely and authentic chai latte were you strain the tea leaves to get the full flavour.
Can’t wait until we can dine in again as I’ll be back to try some of their new menu items!
A cosy little cafe with nice atmosphere and great customer service! 🔆LOCATION🔆 Mr Hendricks is situated on Whitehorse Road near the corner of Brenbeal Street along a quiet strip of shops. There is small amount of in indoor seating, however dont fret, as they have a nice outdoor area with three split levels in partial covering.

On a Sunday afternoon, this cafe is very buzzing, yet service was very fast and with friendly smile. Table was a little dirty and waitress wiped it clean quite promptly before giving us menu and some water. 🔆MENU/PRICE🔆 Salmon Breakfast,$23.00 (Salmon fillet, beetroot, hollandaise, poached eggs and house made dark rye) 'Summer Lovin' Ayomo Cold Pressed Juice, $7.00 (Apple, Pineapple, Lemon, Mint) 🔆VERDICT🔆 The Salmon Breakfast was delicious. My salmon was cooked perfectly. The beetroot was nice complement with slight fresh sourness. I enjoyed the house-made dark rye which I used to place some poached egg, salmon beetroot and hollandaise sauce. All the ingredients. Although it was a light meal it was very satisifying as the portion was good.
Amazing hotcakes in a cute little cafe!
FOOD: After lusting after these hotcakes for the longest time, I got to try them and they were simple but so well done! Sometimes, the best things are the least exaggerated ones and that’s what Mr Hendricks did. Their hotcakes were simple with 2 hotcakes, some double cream and a loooad of fruits (which must mean it’s healthy right? 🤪 we’re just gonna forget a whole load of cream and hotcakes oops)! The texture of the hotcake was crispy while being super soft on the inside and the hotcakes really shone through which is what made this dish super duper special ❤️
SERVICE: Super pleasant!

Had breakfast at this cute little cafe yesterday morning as a catch up with the girls. The coffee was delicious, could have been slightly hotter but was good! I ordered the smashed pumpkin, gluten and dairy free which was delicious and something different from the usual smashed avocado! Was plenty of parking in the area and seating both inside and out! Loved this cute little cafe and would definitely visit again!
The food was pretty good and it has a nice lay out. The staff were friendly too. Overall decent experience and decent eastern suburb brunch spot.
The quiet ambiance in conjunction with the friendly staff and delicious food is the creation of a truly exquisite cafe. The two dishes, a Salmon breakfast and the Hot cake were both well made and unique in creation.
The Salmon breakfast included a pound cake with a cinnamon taste as well as kale, apples slices, parmesan cheese and dates scattered across the salmon. The poached eggs were coated in mayo and added to the taste of the dish.
The Hot Cakes were different to the ones made previously however ensured a hard crust enveloped in a soft and fluffy centre. The decorations of flowers added colour as well as the syrup and fresh fruits placed on top of the cakes.
Definitely a cafe worth a second visit!!
Very small place in Balwyn. Heard of this place for long time. Nice and sweet. Food delivered not too long and fresh. Coffee is just in normal level.Friendly staffs.
Not the cafe for everyone, good food but far too many health fad items
It's a great cafe no doubt, but it's not my kind of cafe, I can't give it a bad review simply because it's not my type, the food is cooked well and coffee is great.
Lot of the menu doesn't interest me however and if you're into your big breakfast of eggs, bacon and sausages give this a skip, majority of the menu is based around health fad items (avo, kale, sweet potato etc.) So I was left disappointed but nonetheless it's a good cafe
Always love the vibe and outdoor setting. Dogs are very welcome here and on multiple occasions where I have come here there has been a dog or two sitting outside.
The salmon breakfast that I most recently ordered was very interesting. I wouldn’t recommend ordering this as the yellow sauce is very sour.
A really great cafe serving great food with great service. Can't ask more than that. My gf got the chilli scramble and I got the corn fritters, both were great.
