Doesn't matter if you are a herbivore, carnivore or omnivore you will love this place. Yes, it only serves vegetarian food but it is quality in every aspect. Cool vibe. Amazing coffee . Great staff .

This is not just a vegetarian brunch option. These guys make great food, with very generous portion sizes. Try everything. Coffee also brilliant. Surprisingly nice bathroom given the place is a shack

In my meandering journey through MBD's compact but lovingly crafted menu, I am yet to find one dish that doesn't delight. Pure mastery of novel & immensely satisfying symphonies of taste and texture!

Richard Frazier

A vegan and vegetarian cafe that does some unbelievable espresso and pour-over coffees . Served up in a cosy environment and friendly staff . Try the bircher muesli or the granola .

Patrick Kirby

Uber hipster back alley Melbourne at its vegetarian best. Purist coffee aficionados welcome. Best presented mushrooms and fruit trifle going round.

Food was great.Coffees good but there's a slight snobbery involved. They do the one size (s) and limited milk choices. Kinda gives you the impression they're saying have your coffee our way ur wrong

The Avignon Apple Pancakes are mind-blowing. From presentation to taste and texture, they are an exquisite brunch option.
