A corner cafe with big windows and a full footpath.
What is Mitte like inside?
Bright and casual. Tall timber windows look out onto the gum trees on Michael Street, with a long communal table, window stools and cosy corners for one. People come for a weekday coffee, a slow weekend brunch, or a spot of work on the laptop.
On Saturday and Sunday mornings it's the neighbourhood's living room, so expect a buzz between 9 and 11. For a quieter table, come after 2pm.
Who roasts Mitte's coffee?
Genovese Coffee House in Coburg roasts it: a seasonal blend from their specialty range. Regulars describe it as strong with no bitterness.
The almond milk is made in-house with no oils or fillers. There's also loose-leaf chai, matcha, hot chocolate, and iced coffee with ice cream for warm days.
Can I bring my dog to Mitte?
Yes. Dogs are welcome at the footpath tables, and there are treats behind the counter for four-legged regulars. Prams fit in easily too, with high chairs and a kids' menu inside.
What locals say
Rated 4.5 from 468 Google reviews.
“The coffee is delicious. Strong with no bitterness. Lovely team on the floor. And the food!! The sardines and eggs was just superb. Loads of flavour. Plump juicy sardines. Perfectly cooked eggs.”
“This place is beauty and community intertwined in the most endearing of ways. Of a weekend Mitte is framed by outdoor seating packed with local families, coffee dates, and crosswords over coffees.”
“The coffee is gorgeous here. It’s a seriously fine Melbourne brew. The bircher muesli was utterly delicious and so good to look at it almost qualifies as a work of art.”
