Porgie & Mr Jones

Gem of a cafe in hawthorn! The food and drinks were fresh and of the best quality with lots of flavour. The service was prompt and staff were attentive and super friendly. There’s plenty of seating indoors, but we opted to sit outside in their gorgeous courtyard (which is pet-friendly). Wish this place was closer to me!

Absolutely loved this place! There was a lot of inside and outside seating. The outside seating was shaded or in the sun. There was a variety of options on the menu accomodating to all dietary needs. The staff were very friendly and helpful! The food was delicious and fresh. The avocado was perfectly smashed with lots of flavour. The bowl was incredible. There was a great variety of ingredients and flavours. Loved the generous half avocado. The pumpkin hummus tasted delicious in combination with vegetables. The cheese toastie was insane. The combination of cheese and bechamel sauce was great. It was grilled perfect making it so crunchy! Such generous potion for price and filling! Definitely a must go to cafe!

Food quality was good, menu also has great variety. I have nothing to complain about except the waitress that served us seemed to have an attitude issue.

Delicious chicken burger. Love the courtyard seating. Service a bit slow, waited a while for food and drinks.

Absolutely loved eating here! The staff was so friendly and the food was amazing! Highly recommend! You wont be disappointed cant wait to come back!

Great menu, good food, amazing staff! Came in on the public holiday, they were happy to fit us in even though it was a busy day. They made sure we were happy with our table and gave us amazing service. Lachy was such a laugh and we will be sure to return.

Simple food done very well. Coffee is excellent. Staff are outstanding, friendly, helpful, great vibe.

Great brunch spot with plenty of seating inside as well as plenty of seating outside at the back!

pet friendly too!

staff was prompt amd ready to assist! The food was great and i especially loved the Salmon Soba Salad!
and seriously, how cute is the late art here!

perfect spot to catch up with mates!
plenty of parking spots in the area too!

Every has an excuse. For the second time I’ve been turned away when trading hours are magically changed to shorter. For a place that does lunch I think 1pm is an acceptable time to ask for a sitting. And for masks don’t work if you pull them down every time you talk to customers.

Such a lovely brunch spot! The courtyard is beautiful and perfect for enjoying brunch on a nice day and great for photos too! The food is also delicious and the staff are very friendly:)

Service was disappointing, after ordering our coffees we were waiting for 30 minutes and nobody took our food order

Never keep order ready
Sometimes could not get help from staff
Very bad and unacceptable
Only food is not matter but service should be quick and good

A great cafe with a huge courtyard out back and a friendly attentive waiting team. We ordered the Benny which included their home made cheesey hash (recommended) and thick cut bacon… yum

We also tried the HFC Chicken Burger because chicken friend in Hawthorn is always better. Loved the seasoning on the chips and generous chicken content.

Our coffees were excellent and our berry smoothie gave us a sweet treat at the end. Courtyard was dog friendly and the lady next to us had the cutest pup.

Good cafe with large indoor and outdoor dining options. Very bright and fresh look with a good breakfast menu for eat in and take away. Gluten free and V friendly. Service if friendly and attentive. Coffee and chai is good too. Not what it used to be but still a good breaky option

I absolutely love this place! Such a great atmosphere, dog friendly and with great coffee and food! The Benedict is a must, it’s just got everything you could want in a meal! This place is a real Hawthorn gem.

Definitely recommend for brunch! We had amazing food and the coffees were delightful too. I’d highly recommend sitting in the secret garden area! The atmosphere was excellent and the service commendable!

Absolutely loved this café! The food and drinks were so flavourful and perfectly presented! We got the French toast, eggs benedict, and Angus beef burger, and then the iced chocolate and turmeric latte. My favourites were the French toast the burger! I would highly recommend visiting this place and sitting outside, especially, as the courtyard vibes were really nice. To see photos, check out @samsrecipebooktolife on Instagram!

Such a cute cafe and a great menu. On a health kick at the moment and it’s so good to see so many healthy options. The green bowl was so delish loving this combo. How cute is the scrambled eggs. Smoothie were so good too very refreshing and delish.

We had the following
Green Bowl ordered with extras grilled chicken
Porgies Famous Golden Folded with chilli jam
Mixed Berry Smoothie
Mango Smoothie

Thanks for the delicious food! We had the green bowl and the french toast and both meals were full of flavour as were our smoothies (Mango and the Berry). Lovely staff, very attentive and friendly. Plenty of seating both indoors and out (especially good if you have a doggo!)
A great little cafe for the locals of Hawthorn and Camberwell and we will be back:)

Lovely local cafe with gorgeous atmosphere! Highly recommend their french toast! The bread was perfectly browned with a soft chewy texture on the inside. It was served with generous amount of berries and raspberry compote which gives the right amount of tartness to the dish! All the elements were perfectly executed!
My other fav has to be the baked eggs which is a new item on their menu! The flavour was well balanced and I love the bitterness from the kale. Remember to get the chorizo! Adding that spiciness and saltinesse elevated the whole dish!
A refreshing Mango Smoothie is definitely a great choice to cleanse ur palette after the brunch feast
