Great food, great coffee, fantastic relaxed atmosphere. Perfect brunch spot to sit and enjoy the weekend! The golden folded eggs were a treat!
Excellent food, great coffee...the staff are lovely a nice friendly atmosphere
The burgers are bloody amazing here! You wouldn’t think that a cafe would nail them, but they are better than most burger joints I’ve tried. Excellent service and friendly staff always.

📝: Back again to this amazing cafe in Hawthorn. One of the best cafes in Hawthorn, a total local favorite. Warm friendly service, large relaxing courtyard, and fantastic food—Porgie & Mr.Jones is the perfect brunch spot.
❤️: Decadent French Toast🍞 soaked in vanilla anglaise with white choc mousse🍦, caramelised white chocolate, and textures of strawberry🍓.
The Beef Brisket Tacos🐮🌮 were super tasty—12 hour slow cooked brisket with Texas style dry rub, kale🥬 and corn🌽 slaw, green chilli🌶 salsa verde, crispy cheese🧀 and onion🧅 ring.
Porgie and Mr Jones looks small from the outside, step inside and you will be surprised! There is a beautiful outdoor courtyard with some great space and many diners had their dogs with them which I am sure is very convenient to pet owners. We browsed the menu and ended up asking for recommendations as we had no idea what we wanted to get! We started with coffees and ordered two savoury and one sweet dish to share.
Used to go here when I lived in the area and it’s great to see the cafe still serves quality food but they’ve improved their courtyard - love sort it out there. My favourite dish has to be the salmon soba noodle - seriously tasty and refreshing with a mango smoothie. Have to say our French Toast was also a good order - loves the presentation, delicious flavours with the berries. Highly recommend!
I can't be happier to have my brunch settled at Porgie and Mr Jones in Hawthorn. Truly enjoyed my brunch in their beautiful and leafy courtyard. Their solid cafe vibes complement their delicious French Toast, Salmon Soba Noodle salad and Truffle Mushrooms. The salmon is perfectly cured and served generously while the french toast has right balance of sweetness and creaminess. We love their truffle mushrooms and polenta dish. Coffee is top notch and so was their peanut butter smoothies. A truly brunch legend in Hawthorn.

Started my weekend with brunch at Porgie & Mr Jones and I must say I'm impressed. Firstly, I was surprised at how big the venue is with outdoor tables at the front, seating inside, a back room and an extensive courtyard (summer brunch here would be perfect). We ordered:
Salmon & Sweet Potato Fritters - think of mashed spiced sweet potato encased in a thin, crunchy shell, served with citrus cured salmon (far less salty than smoked salmon - yes its good), generous serve of creme fraiche and a sweet beetroot relish. Needless to say, it was amazing!
Beef Tacos - Sweet, tender, melt in your mouth beef, with tangy slaw and crunchy onion rings make the perfect combo for a tasty taco trio!
Fries - ok, if you love fries, you HAVE to order the fries here. THE BEST fries I have had in a very long time. If you're a chip connoisseur, you'll be able to tell from the photos these were the real deal. Perfectly crunchy, golden fries (the type that doesnt go soggy when its cold) served with possibly the best aioli I've ever had. Full of flavour without tasting oily. 10/10 for the fries!
Lattes - coffee was great, I usually get skim milk and the coffee was not watery at all, well balanced roast, highly recommended!
Staff were wonderful, and food came out promptly, will definitely be back!
Invited for brunch with a group of mates, porgie & mr jones served up seriously good food. With four of us we were able to try a variety of dishes, beef brisket tacos, salmon soba, French toast and fritters. Each dish was unique, flavoursome and generously portioned. My personal favourite was the salmon soba, the salmon was perfectly cooked and when paired with soba and zoodles made it a filling yet light meal.
Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.
Would recommend.

This was such a lovely cafe in Hawthorn. First of all the service was literally one of the best, everyone was just incredibly nice and the outdoor seating area was lovely and there were so many doggies during our visit which was the best thing ever.
Started with mango smoothie which was an excellent suggestion by the guy who served us, was so refreshing and just the right sweetness!
Soy turmeric latte was also great, better with some sugar!
Beef tacos was yumsie and portion was definitely filling. The beef itself could be a bit more tender i think but the rest was on point!
Then we had the golden folded egg which was awesomee! We had extra cheesy hash brown and it definitely lived up to its reputation, so crispy cheesy and moreish, the chorizo was also yummy and went so well with the dish. The chili on top was a lil sweet but definitely had the right spicy kick to it, I loved it!
Lastly, can't forgo the french toast because it was one of the best I've had for sure. The white choc mousse was amazing, kinda like ice cream? while the french toast itself was light and I just loved all of the components in the dish as they complimented each other incredibly well.
Sucha great brunch spot and would definitely recommend it!
Thank you for having me!

We visited Porgie and Mr Jones this past weekend, we sat out in the courtyard as it was the perfect day for it. The staff were all very lovely and very welcoming.
We ordered the Truffle Mushrooms. It was perfect cooked, the egg was perfectly poached and I love the crispy polenta. They all worked well together with the kale and hollandaise sauce. (We definitely cleaned the plate!) We also had the French Toast, unfortunately, the caramelised white chocolate had melted from the sun! But we still had time to take a few pictures of it. I love all the different textures of the strawberries, but my favourite was definitely the fresh ones. The flavours really blended well together, I definitely would order this again!
We also ordered the carrot juice, which was just the perfect refreshing juice to have on a sunny day! And also the Oreo thick shake, because you can't go wrong with Oreos. Both very delicious but, if you have a sweet tooth, definitely order the thick shake. Otherwise, I highly recommend the juices.
I visited with friends recently and WOW what a cafe! We were seated in the lovely courtyard, it was such a cold and rainy day but sitting at the back you would not know that as it was covered and so cosy.
A solid menu, my friends and I shared a selection of dishes all were fantastic! The stand outs for me were the beef tacos, these were so original and the beef... omg to die for. The salmon soba noodle salad was my second favourite dish, this dish was filled with so much flavour. The French toast and truffle mushroom mushies equally as yum, honestly everything was so divine.
My juice was refreshing and delish, service was on point. This is a cafe to visit, you will love it.
