Stephen Matthews Time to revisit this review from some time back. It remains a great place for brunch. Upon reflection its part of a now iconic and unique (though being exported) Australian breakfast cuisine (and coffee) culture. Arguably Melbourne does it best for many reasons, and Mister Hoffman is, I think, a great example. It, and others like it (in this part of Melbourne, plenty) basically serves a dedicated local community and almost not too many beyond, but its customer base is loyal. Downsides - its small. On a cold rainy day youre likely to end up outside. You cant book. On those same cold days the doors always open for the constant stream of take away coffee customers. Kind of annoying at times to feel like youre eating in the coffee queue. That aside, everything food is quality. Fresh, creative, vibrant and tasty. Lots of standards with a twist. Well worth a visit if you can find a table empty!
