I had a chocolate cupcake and both the staff and the cupcake brightened my day. The store smells really nice too, like chai. Love this place and would love to come back with friends x

Best vegan bakery - Edit
We stopped in here for breakfast before we started our trip back to Sydney and ended up buying lunch for the trip and goodies for family back home. Everything is delicious and the staff are so friendly. I suggest trying the sausage rolls and cinnamon buns.

We've stopped here a couple of times. There is such an amazing range of treats - even later in the day.

Best sweets - Edit
I love Mister Nice Guys and all of their delicious food!
Read moreTheir cinnamon rolls are the best I have had and a serious size! The chocolate babkas as so nice with the crunchy filling. The scrambled tofu focaccia is so filling and fresh.
The sausage rolls are even liked by my non-vegan family as are all of their sweets.
They aren't the cheapest however you do get big serves. The shakes could be a bit more flavourful as they mainly taste like soy and are a bit thin (would love a bigger punch of flavour).

Not one bit appetising - Edit
The food here was really hyped up and I was so excited to come with my girlfriend. We got an Oreo donut and a thick shake with lattes. The donut was un appealing and tasted like a bag of sugar, so over sickening. And the shake was loaded with artificial flavours didn’t not enjoy. To top it off the coffee was undrinkable.

We needed 30 minutes to decide on what to get because everything looked so amazing! Went with a cupcake, babka and Cinnamon bun, and it’s the best vegan cinnamon bun I’ve had! It comes very close to Cinnabon’s buns.

Cons: too much to choose from!!! :D

Delicious vegan baked goods! - Edit
Delicious treats that cater to the majority of dietary requirements... Impressive! We had a chocolate babka (brioche with chocolate through it), a croissant, a soy flat white and a soy iced chai. Everything was delicious, we enjoyed the funky atmosphere and staff were lovely. Looking forward to coming back to try some more!

too sweet 😓 - Edit
I ordered two cakes for my birthday and was heavily disappointed and embarrassed at how it tasted. It looked amazing though! Beautifully colorful and presented well but oh god... we could not eat it. My guests were polite on the day but later admitted it was inedible.
Read moreI pride myself on my vegan cooking that I like to invite my non vegan family and friends to enjoy and I left someone else to do the baking but unfortunately won’t be ordering from them again. I also heard from a family friend who is a caterer that she did an all vegan dinner party and her client had ordered birthday cakes from them too and they also had a similar experience to mine and had to throw it out.
I really don’t like to leave bad reviews but sometimes it might be the feedback they need to improve their product because as a vegan person I would love for a vegan bakery to kick every other bakery’s ass! I hope to see some improvements on the future if I ever decide to go into the store one day to enjoy a treat and give them another chance.

I've been here a few times for cupcakes, lunch (e.g. "tuna" melt) and to collect birthday cakes I've ordered.
Read moreEverything was delicious and I really love the choice of flavours. My favourite was some sort of chocolate and rum flavour; I think it had cherries too.
Om nom nom.

Love it! - Edit
This place has the cutest decor and the best bakes goods in the city so I'm not sure what more you could want? Everyone working there was lovely and I was only sad that I couldn't fit in more cake. The babka was ridiculously delicious and I'm a cake baker with high standards and I loved their cupcakes. My husband also enjoyed a pretzel dog which he thought was great and I'm already planning a return trip.

My favourite vegan cafe in Melbourne! - Edit
This gem is worth travelling out to Ascot Vale for! So many amazing sweet and savoury options, all baked fresh.
Read moreI got the pretzel dog, which was incredible - the dough was so thick and luscious. My partner got the savoury potato danish, which had this AMAZING creamy sauce.
For dessert, I got cinnamon sugar bronut, which is a donut with brioch batter (which is an "eggy" style bread). This was delicious, very thick and fresh. My partner got the peanut butter brownie, which he loved. Their brownies are ranked in the top 5 brownies in Melbourne by the Age newspaper and lived up to this reputation - definitely worth a try!
I also got a soy chai latte, which was delicious. They offer soy, almond, coconut and cashew milk.
We got a massive cinnamon bun to take-away, so we look forward to trying that and coming back here again and again. They also offer catering, which looks amazing, and I'm thinking about trying that.
Pros: All vegan, Both savoury and sweet options, Super fresh

nice enough - Edit
My first taste of Mr Nice Guy's goods was when they donated a bunch of leftovers to the launch of Tilde trans and gender diverse film fest. Their generous donation lives up to their name and maybe it's a bit unfair of me to judge their offerings on day old pastries but I didn't like them. What they used to call a chocolate croissant is nothing like a croissant - it's sweet doughy bread rolled in to a croissant shape. I think they call it a babka now which might be more accurate, I dunno.
Read moreIt was a while before I actually went in store and bought something. First visit, I got a bagel with fake bacon, etc, which was tasty enough but not worth the dough, IMO. Bought a couple of sweet things as well. I think a cheesecake. Obviously none were very memorable. I usually find all of their stuff just sugary and bland. I don't really get why heaps of people seem to love it.
I popped in again today and they sort of redeemed themselves in my eyes. I gave the pretzel dog a try. The bread is the same sweet brioche type they make everything from but it worked here with pretzel salt on top. Could've done with some sauce or mustard though. Grabbed a cinnamon "bronut" (brioche donut) too which was actually delicious. Dunno what distinguishes it from a donut exactly but it's soft and doughy, super fried and a bit crispy on the outside. I ate it in the bath so that probably made it extra decadent.
Overall, Crumbs across the road gets my vegan dollar but Mr Nice Guy obviously has his fans.

Best vegan cakes in Melbourne - Edit
I can't believe I haven't left a review for this place yet. This is the best vegan cake shop in Melbourne, and everything else they do is great too. I've taken my non-vegetarian family here for brunch a few times and they all loved it. The bagels are fantastic, I highly recommend the vegan egg one. The coffee is also great, and obviously the cakes are amazing. I've also ordered giant birthday cakes from here a few times, and they were magnificent. I love this place so much.
Read morePros: Friendly staff, Cakes are top notch, Lots of GF options

Best Ever! - Edit
If you want to give the best ever gift, order someone a giant cup cake from Mr. Nice Guy. And when you pick it up, sit outside and treat yourself to a pretzel dog while you soak up the Ascot Vale ambience. The giant cupcake is a delicious work of art, worth every cent. The pretzel dog is the best veg hot dog I have experienced. Coffee scrolls are also almost 'too good for words'.
Read morePros: Huge range of cakes, Easy on-line ordering, all vegan
Cons: too far from my place!
