Love it! - Edit
The food was fantastic. Had two donuts, the cinnamon roll, Shepard pie, a sausage roll and a pretzel dog. All we’re good but the homer donut was perfect. It tasted as good as it looked. The pretzel dog was really good too. Highly recommend this place. For everything we got it was like $40 bucks. Great price.

The best - Edit
My favourite place to visit when I want a little treat. I got the cinnamon bun, spinach scroll and a matcha latte. All was delicious, and I’ll be back for more asap.

Consistently good - Edit
Every time I try something at mister nice guys it's delicious. Towards the end of the day they sell out of a lot of things so make sure to go early if you want to try something specific. Staff were really friendly also. My only complaint was that the milkshake could have been a bit colder as it was Luke warm but I wasn't too fussed. Would definitely try the cupcakes next time!

My favourite place in all of Melbourne - Edit
I looooove mister nice guy. I live on the other side of town but would travel just to get my hands on their goodies, especially their cinnamon rolls and donut holes, the absolute best. I wish there are more 100% vegan bakeries here

Changes not for the better - Edit
I have been coming to Mr Nice Guys for around 10 years. It was the (very) regular and much anticipated Saturday morning breakfast place for me and my dear friend, a decades long vegan who passed away in her 70s. I left Australia for a three year contract in the UK and returned in October 2022 looking foward to my first visit back. However, it was clear things had changed. The whole set up is now clearly oriented towards the cake business. The inside is no longer an inviting place for sit-in customers. Shelves lined with cake boxes take up former table areas and the counters make the space feel squashed. It feels like cafe people are secondary, and inconvenient? You can't get sandwiches toasted anymore (was that really such a bother?) and they give you flimsy bamboo cutlery instead of the real thing. The bamboo breaks even trying to cut through a scroll let alone a baguette. It used to be somewhere you'd see regulars every week, have a chat, and the cafe bit was really busy. But the two Saturdays I've been now there are always free tables while other cafes along the street are packed full (that says something). I wondered what had changed and discovered (through Google) that the business had been franchised while I was away and taken over by someone else. While the counter food still seems to taste the same (same chef perhaps?) the other changes have really put me off going there to enjoy a well-earned relaxed breakfast after a week at work. I'm sorry to say this about a 100% vegan business, but it's just not an inviting place anymore, and the distance I used to cycle there, looking forward to it, does not seem worth it. I may go once in a while, but it's definitley no longer top of my list, maybe not even top five. I hope the owners rethink their approach to the cafe area and atmosphere, but perhaps they're making enough from the cake business that they care less about that now.

Great bake shop! Cakes, sweets and some savoury food - Edit
For savoury, we tried the sausage roll and shepherds pie. Tasted really good! Would get it again. And for sweet, got the cinnamon bun, tart and donut balls. Would definitely come back to try more! Coffee was so nice and I felt everything was affordable too😄

Beautiful cupcakes - Edit
I liked the variety on offer, even though a few things sold out by the time I got there at 2pm. I bought some beautifully decorated cupcakes and two types of donuts. Everything tasted really good but everything was also really dense, particularly the donuts which I haven't found in other vegan donuts I've had elsewhere. I guess it's a personal thing, but I prefer less doughy pastries.

Lovely birthday cake - Edit
My partner ordered the biscoff cake for my birthday from here. We were pleased with the cake, delivery was flawless too.
Read moreCake was nice, could have been a bit more moist though. Frosting was tasty but left a slightly greasy mouth feel.
Would order again but we would try something different. They have a lot of options!
Pros: Cake was presented very nicely! , Great delivery , Very sweet frosting!

One of my favourite places in Melbourne - Edit
Tried this ages ago when I was in Melbourne. I absolutely loved everything I had here: the bronuts, the curried “egg” sandwich, etc. A super cute bakery that’s definitely worth a visit! I’d love to come back someday.

Caution soy in non soy cake! - Edit
Was disappointed to pick up my cake that specifically said on the website ‘soy free’ had soy in its frosting. Man was apologetic but the website still hasn’t been changed, so don’t rely on their website. I personally think it’s an over rated bakery.

Sugar rush - Edit
Very impressed! Enjoyed a tasty baguette with curried tofu, a super decadent banana shake and hot chocolate. We also ordered a meat ball sub which I didn't enjoy as much. So many appealing choices...a return visit is in order!
