  • Despite the Germanic origins of its name, Mitte offers modern Australian breakfast cuisine with an epicurean flair.

  • Caters for everyone, from young families and tradies to the elderly.

  • A modern, airy cafe set against a Scandinavian-influenced backdrop.

  • From the food to the decor, everything at this day-to-night cafe is simple and community-minded. By day, find pastries from Ovens Street bakery, comforting breakfasts, and rotating soups and salads. By night, expect DJs and good drinks.

  • A curved schoolhouse window welcomes you into this American ice-creamery. Here, an ex-Fat Duck pastry chef makes ice-cream flavours like mango lassi, and cardamom, burnt honey and pistachio. And, naturally, loaded sundaes.
