Mimolette — Restaurant in Melbourne

Heard about this place through Cig-Horny Weaver (aka Andy Lee) so we thought we'd give it a go, and boy was he right - this French cafe was mouth-wateringly good! We visited twice while on a quick trip to Melbourne and have genuine plans to come back again next time we're in town. We tried the ham and cheese croissant (add mustard, no tomato), the raspberry pistachio, the plain and the pan au chocolate, as well as coffee and juices. Every single item was gobsmacking, the staff were so bubbly and approachable, prices were super decent for the quality of the items and the store had great vibes. The only recommendations I can make is that they need to expand because the demand is growing, and if you plan to visit, bring a wallet full of cash to drop on as much as you can because literally everything was delectable.

I tried their hot chocolate and plain croissants.

It's a coffee place, so I wasn't expecting it to be amazing. However the hot chocolate tasted almost entirely of milk. I can't really blame them since it's not their specialty, most cafes don't do a decent hot chocolate.

I probably won't be back, even though I live around the corner. I don't drink coffee though, so it's not...

This place is Windsor's best kept secret. Let's not destroy its sanctity by attracting the mainstream. If you are a lover of amazing crafted coffee and authentic North Parisian baguettes, then look no further than Mimolette on Punt. Its owner Richard is one of the most passionate cafe owners I met, he has a warm heart and very personable to all his customers. His lovely partner Asha makes the baguettes behind the scenes and masterful in her work. Patrick is easy on the eyes and makes a mean coffee, super nice too. I won't say more. Take the plunge and try it for yourself. You may be surprised at the results. Don't tell...
