I ordered some Dench bakery sour dough toast with blood orange marmalade and a chai almond latte. <br/ <br/ The chai was lovely and spicy and the toast was a real treat (not many inner city cafes offer marmalade), I lapped it up.<br/ <br/ 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!<br/ KD<br/ <br/ <br/ <br/ Previous review<br/ 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.<br/ Espy

Lots of yummy breakfast options but the lunch cabinet looked more even better with plenty of delicious full sandwich options. . Staff are friendly attentive

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!!!

But unfortunately I 'm cutting processed meat due to health concern. Still on my list for occasional indulgence.
