Mister Close - Shredded pork burrito with beetroot and carrot salad - Restaurants Near Me - Melbourne, VIC

See all

It's a bit pricey for a flatbread sandwich and a small salad...but the portions were a good amount and I was quite full afterwards. I'll definitely go once in a great while since the food seems pretty healthy and the ingredients are tasty. I tried their roast chicken flatbread and sweet potato salad as a takeaway. The flatbread sandwich was very meaty and I was hoping for more arugula to balance all the meat. The salad was decent but I want to try their other selections. They had a mushroom risotto that looked good. The staff was very attentive and friendly. It helped that I went with someone who was a regular. If you're willing to splurge for lunch, I'd say go for it. read more

I stumbled across this by chance as I saw the crazy lines for a certain phone release today.... I love the cosy vibe of this fresh and modern cafe. A staff member was shooing the birds, 'a daily struggle' as said by one of the staff. You shoo them out, they fly to the other side of the cafe. The menu is concise and quite varied compared to other breakky/brunch places. I had delicious beetroot pikelets with salmon and their homemade mayo and leafy greens! Delectable! Worth a visit! read more

Mister Close - Beetroot pikelets with salmon and homemade mayo and leafy greens! Also some Phoenix organic juice: mango, passion & apple. - Restaurants Near Me - Melbourne, VIC

I went here with a friend, late in the day near to Mister Close(ing) time. Is that a really bad pun?... It's a really bad pun. But never mind! Mister Close is anything but bad! They're awesome! My friend and I wished to order some sandwiches but the ones we wanted were sold out (shed a tear) so we chose other sandwiches (yummy salami for me!) and then because the girl serving us felt bad for not having our original sandwich choices available, she gave us a complimentary plate of rocky road for us to devour! How lovely! They also actually stock a hangover cure in the form of a Turkish bread, bacon, aoili, lettuce and tomato with red onion relish sandwich. The passion of the place is clear - two friends created this cafe and named it in honor of their grade 5 teacher. Darn cute I say! I like the way its set out and the fact that its in Bourke Stree mall. I used to consider that place a hole till Mister Close showed up. read more

Weird location - Amazing Food! If i hadn't been recommended to Mister Close i would never have thought to look for it in Midtown (which is normally filled with weird little shops!) This is definitely the jewel in the crown. Went for breakfast a few days ago and had the Granola, friends had the porridge and the favo toast. We all oohhh'ed and aahhhh'ed as the breakkie was delivered on wooden paddles and beautiful bowls. The granola was super crunchy and tasty washed with fruit and yogurt while the porridge had a consistency unlike normal porridge - it was creamy, fluffy and full of seeds and nuts - delish! Not being a fan of avo i passed on the favo but both friends made all the right noises! The coffee was wonderful and strong - just what you need to start the day. My recommendation for any business breakfast where you want to impress or if you are starting a Saturday shopping trip! read more

OK - there is an item on the menu here which is a hands-down in-its-class Melbourne winner! By which I mean, there is nothing as good as it in Melbourne. I am talking of course about the egg and bacon breakfast baguette. I don't know what they do to it, but it is simply the tastiest egg-bacon-some-kinda-bread combination I have ever tasted. Maybe they truffle the eggs or something - I don't know, and I don't particularly care. All I care is that Mister Close never stops making and serving this fine specimen of breakfast food. Coffee is good too, and I have always enjoyed my lunches at Mister Close, but for me, from now on, whenever anyone mentions "Mister Close" I will immediately think of the egg and bacon breakfast baguette. It's my new happy place. read more

A little gem at the hectic cross roads of Bourke Street and Swanston. Tucked into a blink and you'll miss it mall next to the huge Telstra shop. Entering the mall off Swanston, it feels so much more quieter than the throngs outside. The cafe serves a small but good mix of salads and some warm food. I've always found a #vegan option. Today was a fantastic cauliflower salad and a Mexican street food potato salad. Delicious. And great coffee. A perfect stop before heading back out to the city. read more

Mister Close is a cafe located just inside the entrance of Midtown Plaza near Bourke Street Mall and is a recent and welcome addition to the weekend brunch scene in the Melbourne CBD. Opened by two friends in mid 2011, they named the cafe after their high school geography teacher! As maps are one of my many little geeky passions, I feel right at home here amongst the cartographic features. The furniture and cafe design is lovely, the menu is fantastic (and funny! Love the Piece of Resistance pun) and coffee is solid. Service is always excellent and the house made rocky road is divine. Highly recommended. read more

For melbourne and especially this part of melbourne, this is a great place. I had a breakfast here, I think it was the egg and bacon role with some 'gourmet' condiments. I also got a chai latte (which was legitimate loose leaf tea actual spices) which came with foamy milk in a little teapot.. so rich, soo good, The portions aren't going to blow you away, but they aren't skimpy either and besides its so cheap you could buy two breakfasts here. The flavour and texture are top notch. After my last disappointment grabbing breakfast out in melbourne, this place has redeemed Melbourne. I have faith I can get a decent value and tasty breakfast within it's CBD. I'll be back. read more

For all the excitement; this place is a little deceptive to find. Enter off swanston street and it will be much easier, instead of having to traipse about in some sort of geometric maze, fumbling along until you finally find it. Nb; this happens when entering from the target centre side. Swanston is much easier. There's also a secret entrance off Bourke, just near a fancy looking lift. I must say, I have been enticed about the premise of this place since first hearing of it. It is a welcome update to a rather old daggy and shambles of a food court before it. Hipster waiter who was actually on the money and served well. An awesome breakfast menu, that is playful with it's words. Toasties included. Soup, Sandwiches, Main sized warm dishes, which are mostly salad, look worthy of another visit. All good no less. South African something or other hot chocolate. Teas, Chais, and beers too. They make a point about the Campo coffee and work hard at the quality assurance. Corner of Bourke and Swanston, where the Telstra building is, head through the little walkway opening, near the money exchange booth. Daily lunch menu printed. Would be better if i had more money to spend. read more

Mister Close is a great new addition to an area containing mostly average cafes. The food here has never failed to disappoint and the amount of thought put into the menu shows. It's a table service cafe if you're after a seat and the staff are mostly attentive and helpful. The price goes down by a few dollars for take away but be prepared to wait. The reason being that there seems to be a bit of disorganisation with the take away setup and often people will be trying to settle their table service bills in the same line. The result in my experience has been 10-15 minutes waits to grab something, however once you get it the food is excellent. read more

Interesting breakfast menu choice, loved what I had - the meat lovers piece of resistance - if it stays on the menu. Campos coffee served here was great, and I loved it was a spacious yet homely dine in area, plenty of room for a solo breaky, with single person armour (aka an iPad) to spread out. Staff were friendly and service relatively fast. Clean and modern decor. read more

A new venture opened by the ex owner of Arcadia in Fitzroy, Mister Close is a dazzling jewel in the heart of the Target Centre on the corner of Bourke and Swanston streets. The service can be at times perfunctory, however the coffee is so good you'll want another right away. The food is also top notch, all made in house using fresh, high quality ingredients. Be prepared to cue for your coffee in the mornings and to pay a premium for your bits, but you do walk away wit every intention of coming back again. read more

Very nice restaurants. I like the arrangements of the meals and teas. It is also tasty. A good place to have breakfast

A friend from work recommended this place. Went there for the first time on Friday for lunch and loved it so much, went back yesterday and got a take-away salad. Everything is freshly made on the premises using high quality and often organic ingredients. Amazing salads, selection of wraps, sandwiches using Dench bread and hot dishes. Organic coffee and freshly baked sweet treats. Everything is seriously yummy, flavourful and fresh and the menu changes weekly. Many vegetarian options too. Very friendly and helpful service. Eat in or take-away. Lovely modern fit-out. Please go and check it out; you'll become a Mister Close fan too! read more

Consistently good coffee and a interior that looks like they were forcing the hipster vibes a little too much. The location is so central and easy to find that you can guarantee the place is always going to be packed full of soccer mums, out of town shoppers and corporate crowds on their lunch breaks. It can feel a little like a canteen sometimes because of this. Having said that the food is nice and usually pre prepared to some extent so quite fast. Coffee is decent. Worth checking out for a on the go lunch read more

Tall feat to manage to create a bit of a vibe within a Target-driven shopping complex and opening to the Swanston street foot-traffic madness, but Mister Close manages to pull it off. Enjoyed the sign that says you wont be served if talking on your phone - take that self-important business-folk of Melbourne! Sit and relax a little instead! read more

Over the past three days, I have had the pleasure of eating brekky at this restaurant, and I have loved every meal I've had! The coffee is great and the food incredible. Friendly staff from the barista to the chef. Highly recommend it! read more

I was looking for a good lunch spot while visiting Melbourne and I found Mister Close on Yelp. I liked the sound of the menu changing daily based on what's fresh so I checked it out. I had one of the most delicious salads of my life! It was the wonderfully seasoned chicken over greens with quinoa, cucumber, tomatoes and tzatziki sauce on the side. I couldn't help but eat every last bite! If I'm lucky enough to be back in the area again, I will certainly return. read more

I like the fact that I've never been here before even though it's really central. Unfortunately, what I wanted to eat here wasn't available ... twice. I ended up settling for the burrito which unfortunately was more a wrap with generic beans and lacking in any flavour that would normally come associated with the "burrito" labelling. Extra star goes to friendly staff service. read more

Good service and delicious food. Would recommend the pork belly but beware of the portion sizes - they are generous. I found the Mac and cheese tiresome to eat because of the overwhelming flavour and huge portions. Definitely reasonably priced. Also a tip: don't come at the end of the day or a lot of items will be sold out. read more

The coffee here is great - especially the mocha. Dark and smooth with very little sweetness, it is the perfect antidote to the Gloria Jeans around the corner. I can also report that the caramel slice is brilliant, and the look of the Sri Lankan goat/potato/coconut curry today was almost enough to make me want to eat meat. The prices are good (the coffee is even cheap); expect to pay more for a full meal but you'll be getting quality nourishment. Definitely a regular. read more
