Mabel Jones

In Greensborough, Melbourne, Mabel Jones is the neighbourhood gem locals love. With modern food, amazing coffee and a knack for turning simple moments into memorable ones, it welcomes early birds and late brunchers alike.

Breakfast shines: The full Mabel brings poached or fried eggs with a housemade hash brown, bacon, mushrooms, halloumi, avocado and roasted tomato. The benedicts span a bacon benny with hash browns, spinach and hollandaise to a vibrant vegetarian riff with beetroot purée and grilled halloumi. Elsewhere, a nourish bowl meets wagyu or panko crumbed chicken burgers for those chasing either virtue or indulgence.

Hearty sandwiches and fresh salads keep pace: slow-cooked pulled brisket with slaw and cheddar on sourdough, a breezy chicken and avo sandwich, and a miso chicken salad with toasted sesame. On cooler mornings, chia and oat porridge with fruit and raspberry compote is comfort in a bowl.

Drinks range from speciality coffee and teas to smoothies, with wine, cider and hand-crafted cocktails later on. From breakfast catch-ups to a bottomless brunch, Mabel Jones makes every visit feel timely. Book in, gather your favourites, and follow your appetite to a very good time.
