This morning I treated myself to a breakfast in. I ordered some Dench bakery sour dough toast with blood orange marmalade and a chai almond latte.
The chai was lovely and spicy and the toast was a real treat (not many inner city cafes offer marmalade), I lapped it up.
My only complaint was a glass sliding door inside the café leading to a side entrance, it constantly squeaked on opening. My advice would be visit here but don’t sit near the glass door if you can avoid it!

Savoury muffins are a weakness (well one of many weaknesses) of mine and so I will always try them when I see them. Today’s example at Mister Close was a prime example of how a savoury muffin should be. Nice big chunks of red capsicum and zucchini and the muffin mix itself not sweet. So many get the sweetness levels wrong. Coffee was also really good which is excellent as they do have a rotating espresso and cold drip blend going. A great little find.

Nice retreat in cbd, never too loud despite being in a mall. Coffee is good - campos. Best Rogan Josh I've had. It was lean & quality meat, made with love. Lots of yummy breakfast options but the lunch cabinet looked more even better with plenty of delicious & full sandwich options. . Staff are friendly & attentive
Great coffee and muffins, also enjoy the mushroom and egg baguette but my fave is the dark chocolate, orange and coconut muffin - YUMMY! Great breakfast spot.
We were directed to Mister Close by the lovely tourist information people to this amazing cafe and had an awesome breaky. Better than that was the service. Anthony, our waiter, who correctly assumed we were not from Melbourne, went out of his way to give us tips for first time visitors to Melbourne, even working out what kind of things we were interested in and then writing us a list of places and addresses to visit. A truly generous act from a lovely bloke.
Oh and yep, the coffee was fantastic!!!
The best dish was "wake up in Mexico", such a creative brunch dish you cannot find anywhere else! The ham...ummm... Yum! But unfortunately I'm cutting processed meat due to health concern. Still on my list for occasional indulgence.
Tasty and wholesome chicken burrito with salad for lunch. I needed a vegie fix and this dish hit the spot. Coffee was good too.
Hard to find, enter off Swanston St.
So impressed with a delicious brekkie at Mister Close. Favo toast was the best avocado toast dish I've ever had. The coffee was strong without being bitter. The savoury waffle with smoked salmon was also to die for, very filling and rich. Waiters were lovely. The music is a little too loud in there though. Will definitely return.
Sandwiches were so good I went here for lunch two days in a row! The place is a little hard to find, tucked away is true Melbourne style but definately worth the try.
Sensational coffee (if you like Campos beans - I definitely do!), and surprisingly creative food for a coffee cafe. The prices are slightly higher than the competition, but they deliver quality for that price. I wish I worked closer to this place, it would be my go-to coffee. It can get pretty packed at lunch, but is a great place for 1:1 meetings over coffee or food.
The food was delicious. I had the waffle fritters and the other dish was the toastie. The presentation was nice and it was a very quick service
Oh wow!! If this isn't a hidden gem I don't know what is. I had the chicken waffle dish and my partner had the omelette. Watched him cook both in an open kitchen with passion. Not only that, but it was perfection! Holy cow! There are not enough exclamations in the world to describe my satisfaction with the brunch I had here
One of the best chai in the CBD. The presentation of the drinks was great and taste was awesome. Staff are professional and courteous. If you are looking for a great tasting coffee or chai, Mr. Close is the place.
They serve Campos coffee which in itself is a BIG plus! The brunch food's presented beautifully, delicious and reasonably priced. Great place to just sit and chill in the heart of the city.
This cafe is better than it's looks and location might suggest. It has an interesting contemporary diverse breakfast menu with fresh ideas and a variety of cuisine influences, all executed at very high quality standards at fair value prices and quite good quality coffee. Almost everything, even down to the muesli, is created on site. I was delightfully surprised by this quality venue.
Mr. Close is a fantastic little spot tucked away inside midtown! The food is fantastic with menus changing daily. The coffee is beautiful and the staff are always so lovely with fantastic service! Vegan and gluten free options and so much more! Would recommend to anybody.
Staff were so kind and attentive, coffee was great and breakfast portions were generous. Lightning fast service, meal was served less than 5 minutes after ordering and everything was fresh. Definitely a new favourite spot! :)
Was here 2 years ago and rated it with 5 Stars.
Back again this morning and wow, still 5 Stars.
Great food, dining area and service, well done all.
Try the 'Wake up in Mexico' from the table menu, its awesome.
