We stopped in at Mr. Benedict Café in Albury for breakfast and were absolutely blown away. They open nice and early at 7am, which is perfect for early risers or anyone heading out on a road trip. From the moment we walked in, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, setting the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable morning. The space is bright and inviting, with plenty of seating options both indoors and out, making it a great spot whether you’re flying solo, catching up with friends, or coming in with a group. The menu is exceptionally well thought out—even the classic dishes have been given a modern, flavourful twist. We started with coffees, which were expertly made and full of flavour—smooth, well-balanced, and clearly crafted by someone who knows their beans. For food, we had: Avo on Toast: Served with a perfectly soft poached egg, Persian feta, chilli flakes, soft herb salad, lemon vinaigrette, and a delicious hazelnut pumpkin seed dukkah. A fresh, vibrant take on a staple dish, with layers of texture and flavour in every bite. Eggs Benedict with Apple Cider Braised Ham Hock + Pea Smash: Rich, hearty, and balanced beautifully with the sweetness of the ham and freshness of the peas, all on crusty sourdough and topped with a luscious house-made hollandaise. Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon + Lemon Dill Salsa Verde: Another standout—generous slices of quality salmon paired with a zesty herb salsa and that same golden hollandaise. Absolutely delicious. All the dishes were made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, plated beautifully, and bursting with flavour. The serving sizes were generous, and the price point is more than fair for the quality you’re getting. If you’re in Albury and looking for a top-tier breakfast spot, Mr. Benedict Café is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back!

Visited Mr Benedict for lunch stop from my drive from Sydney to Melbourne. As it was a weekend lunch and there was a brief wait for a table. The restaurant was vibrant and was filled with the chatter of patrons. Very rustic vibe with large windows providing a lot of natural light. There was also a semi outdoor sitting area at the back with gas heaters to ensure warmth. I appreciated that the toilets were very clean so perfect for a break stop. Service was very polite but took quite a long time for food to arrive (40 minutes) Ordered Mr benedict eggs on silver creek sourdough with house made hollandaise with smoked salmon ($21.00) – Eggs were so smooth and perfectly cooked. The sourdough was properly sour with a crusty fulfilling bite. The salmon worked perfectly and was adequately salty. Beast toastie with bacon, fried egg, avocado, baby spinach, roasted basil ($17.50) - Once again perfectly cooked eggs. Elevates what normally sounds like an ordinary toastie to something amazing! Dirty B-Burger ($21.00) – Standard quality café beef burger. Fresh ingredients and well-cooked beef patty. Prawn and calamari linguini – with snow peas and tomato fillets in a garlic chilli and anchovy butter white wine sauce ($25.00) – Standard quality pasta dish you would expect from a café. Overall amazing eggs cooked perfectly and extremely well. Would definitely go with the eggs here. Great place to stop and take a break during a road trip!

(4.5 stars) With vestiges of pink still streaking the pale autumn sky, we eschewed a hotel breakfast at Atura Albury in favour of a standout local cafe. Mr. Benedict has put together a breakfast menu where you will struggle to choose. The namesake eggs Benedict ($24.50) teamed with either apple cider-glazed ham hock and lemon mint pea smash or smoked salmon and lemon dill salsa verde, should be on your list. For me they were edged out by corn fritters ($23.50) flavoured with jalapeños, coriander, cumin, spring onions and Cheddar cheese. Being gluten free, they’re light on the stomach, which is lucky because they arrive under a quenelle of vividly green avocado and tangy beetroot relish in a ring of coriander yoghurt. As we admired the architectural lines of Albury’s 1934 ambulance station through the cafe’s folding windows and breakfast bar, my dining companion took on the apricot and nut French toast ($22.50). With two thick slabs of fruit and nut bread, lightly tangy banana mascarpone and real maple syrup, the berry compote—though eye-catching—was probably overkill. Code Black Coffee, from Australia’s coffee capital Melbourne, was enjoyable in a small cappuccino ($5) and a large latte ($5.50). They’re using a strong roast throwing dark chocolate and macadamia called My Ex-Wife, that’s perfect for milk-based coffees.

An ok cafe that seems to have focused more on plating up meals and lovely interiors than it has food quality, flavours or staff training. FOOD: The home made granola described as crunchy/toasted, arrived mostly soggy and the flavours weren't good. The yoghurt was more of a dash in the bowl...definitely less than a mouthful or so all up. Despite the photo which suggests it was so much nicer than it was. The other meals we had there weren't much better. They were all plated up very well with excellent presentation - however none of us ate much of them - as the taste and texture was off for most. STAFF: A mixed bunch, one possibly female staff member with short dark brown hair was exceptionally bright, efficient and friendly - sadly I couldn't say that for all. Our meals and coffee's took some time to arrive, however we were grateful for the apology. The cafe wasn't that busy - so I am not sure why staff seemed to struggle/seem lost so much. OVERALL: Wouldn't go back. A solid ok choice though - if I needed a coffee.

After a week in the area trying the top rated breakfasts, this is clearly my favourite. Staff are friendly and helpful and the food served is exceptional. I had a cappuccino that was made perfectly. The correct ration of froth to creamy milk to coffee. Only one other location got it right, but failed the following day. The eggs Benedict with smoked salmon were delicious. My wife had the smashed avo poached egg on Vegemite toast and loved it. It rained this morning and staff created ample seating whilst still observing spacious social distancing between tables. Easily my first choice in the area. Deserves the high ratings it has achieved to date.

Visited Mr Benedict for brunch, what can I say, I have found my go to for coffee, yum, yum, yum. But not only is the coffee good but so are the meals. I can see why people in Albury / Wodonga, line up and wait to get in here. If you can book it, do so. Service was excellent, a simple eye contact and your needs were happily addressed. Wait time for meals were fine, especially when busy. Atmosphere was good, but at times a little loud with a full venue. But I don’t care, I’m going back.
