  • Artisan Gluten-Free Sourcing

    Diners requiring gluten-free options are provided with artisan bread from GF Precinct rather than generic commercial alternatives.

  • Industrial Pocket Oasis

    Nestled inside an industrial precinct, the cafe surprises visitors with a refined, welcoming environment away from the surrounding business area.

    Don't let the location in an industrial complex fool you, this is definitely a place you have to stop by if you're in the area!

Before you head over

Key tips on parking, seating, and ordering for a seamless visit to Mr Robertson Cafe.

  • Navigating Arrival & Accessibility

    The cafe sits within an industrial pocket in Nunawading where parking can be challenging and physical access involves stairs or an elevator, so allow extra arrival time if navigating with mobility aids.

  • Noise Levels & Seating Choices

    The open dining space gets lively and loud quickly during peak hours, which can make conversation harder; head to the heated outdoor area if you prefer a calmer setting in winter.

  • Gluten-Free Bread Upgrades

    Gluten-free diners can order avocado and eggs on toast with confidence, as the kitchen serves premium artisan bread from GF Precinct rather than standard commercial white slices.
