About Mister Hoffman

Mister Hoffman delivers quintessential Melbourne brunch culture tucked away on Hoffmans Road, turning out sharp specialty coffee alongside bold morning plates. The room stays lively with a steady stream of takeaway regulars, while seats fill quickly for walk-in tables inside and out back in the heated courtyard. Morning regulars point straight to the chilli scramble served over a croissant or avocado stacked on house crumpets with Vegemite and crunchy seeds. Kitchen hands readily customize plates for coeliac, gluten-free, and vegan diets without trimming flavor—anchored by well-extracted batch brews, cold drip, or an almond cap.

  • Walk-In Courtyard Dining: Walk-in only setup pairing cozy indoor seating with an undercover, heated outdoor courtyard.
  • Inventive Brunch Twists: Creative twists on Melbourne morning staples, from chilli scramble croissants to avo on house-made crumpets.
  • Broad Dietary Care: Extensive menu flexibility catering smoothly to gluten-free, coeliac, vegan, and modified orders.
