My Other Brother

Sweet ricotta hotcakes! They’ve got them and if you have not tried it then you are missing out on life. The burgers at good old My Other Brother are also instagram worthy if you are after a really good lunch. I don’t mind paying a few more dollars for quality food and that is what you will get here. Sure, when they’re really busy the service suffers but the one who waits for ricotta hotcakes never waits too long.

I walk past this place every morning and decided to give it a try today. The coffee was perfect, the food was delicious, and the service was excellent. This is the perfect breakfast location if you’re in Camberwell.
I would happily grab my breakfast from here everyday, if the Eftpos fee was lowered from $ 15 (my daily meal would total $ 13.90 and no food is worth paying a $ 1 fee).

The hot chocolate here is divine. Love. It!
However, the brunch menu we had was just okay. I ordered the corn and haloumi with smoked salmon. It came with smoked tomato relish, bacon, Danish feta as well as poached eggs. As much as I loved the presentation, taste-​wise it was very lacking — under-​seasoned and salmon didn’t taste fresh.
Another downside? Food was expensive (spent $ 55 for 2 people’s breakfast) and portion was a little on the tinier side (chalk it up to my American breakfast appetite, maybe?) lol. They have an open kitchen concept, which I always appreciate, but I don’t know how I feel about looking at food, especially smoked salmon and mashed avocado, lying openly next to the cash register… uh?
Service was friendly but felt a little rushed. I wouldn’t recommend coming here on the weekend — it was jam packed. I would be back for the coffee and hot chocolate but not really for the food!

We enjoyed late lunch but three adults and one child came to $ 80 with only two lunch. A bit pricy. Definitely go back but more café and brunch type café than lunch. Menu is limited.

Well if you like waiting and watching the slowest service known to man this is the place 730am Sunday server at pos device taps away records name on cup with pen extra slow then writes in a book then on receipt then says 1% surcharge for using card then passes cup to Barista then takes payment OMG get a more functional process line out the door! Coffee sizes lot to be desired good marketing on cup but wont be back! Please resign service and ordering process!

Usually pretty busy on a weekend, when we finally got around to trying M.O.B. for breakkie it was on a lazy weekday and for once there was a few empty tables and we could cruise right in.
Food was very good — not quite as outstanding as some other local breakfast cafes (and a little pricier at true Camberwellian prices) — but the menu is interesting enough with a few cool twists on old favourites.
Having said that, there was a mojito coffee thing on the menu that a friend tried and was deeply disappointed with, so maybe steer clear of that unless you’re feeling very adventurous.
Otherwise everyone was happy with their meals and you get the sense that there are lots of regulars there which gives you a good idea as to their consistency. Probably wont become a go-​to for us, but will pop back at some stage I’m sure.

I used to think Camberwell was full of older peeps and not very exciting food options — than some cool peeps showed me this place and I was impressed.
It’s a little on the pricier side (you are in Camberwell after all) but the one time I was here I go an excellent soy latte and almond cake to boot.
Fabulous interior space (think minimalistic timber) and menu to boot, I definately plan to come back here for breakfast one of these days. Maybe many breakfasts.

Best: Acai jar
On a wee bit of a white girl Acai kick after experiencing with the latest cardio craze at my gym. The granola is good but at $ 15 for a kitch jar serve I think we could do better in our hunt for superfood wank. Café is a cute spot that gets busy with stereotypes of camberwell so that’s always fun to observe creepily. Service is medium, in that it’s not great but they are pretty hipsters so i probably won’t complain when you have to come check my order three times.

Great place for a bite! Try the wagyu beef burger with shoestring fries, mouth watering! I’ve also stopped in for their muffins and coffee, both were delish and the service isn’t too shabby either. Repeat customer.

Nice, relaxed and filled with light on a sunny Melbourne Sunday… A fantastic menu which I wish I could try more of, and one of the besr coffees I’ve had in Melbourne. Definitely coming back.

Very nice meal but service a bit slow because it’s so busy. Friendly service, trendy little café. The ‘it place’ in Camberwell.

My partner and I walked to My Other Brother from our new house in Camberwell this Sunday — incredibly exciting! What we weren’t prepared for (being new to Melbourne, and all) was the huge crowds of people and row after row of secondhand treasures at the Camberwell Markets. My Other Brother was PACKED!
First impressions: service was prompt and friendly, though we did wait a while for our coffees and meals (though I must impress, they were VERY busy). The café itself is neat, clean, and warm. I liked it.
The coffee was delicious (Industry Beans!) though a little on the expensive side at $ 4 for a small coffee. The food was absolutely scrumptious. I had the smashed avocado with a poached egg ($ 18.50), while my partner had the Breaky Burger ($ 16). Mine was fresh, creamy, and flavoursome — some chilli here would have been perfection. My partner enjoyed his burger (filled with tasty treats like bacon, chorizo, and a potato rosti) immensely, and while the dishes were expensive, he believed it was worth every cent.
I’ll definitely be back to My Other Brother, but if I’m being honest, there’s not a lot here that sets it apart from the rest of Melbourne’s awesome breakfast joints! Perhaps we’ll have to come back when it’s a little less hectic…

I thank James Y. for showing this place to me. He’s been mentioning it on and off for some time now and today was the day where I finally got to see what the hype was about.
Although my visit was short, it left an impression. I loved the atmosphere of the café. It was very modern, lively and entertaining. It was a busy café but not to the extent that you could not get a seat. It seems like a nice place to come in the morning for a coffee and a chat with a friend.
I was surprised to find that they served Industry Beans here. The beans, through my experience, are a rare and very lucky find. I had their single estate Mexican bean which made an very pleasant long black. The barista knew what they were doing because it was a great coffee to start the day off with.
I snacked on a muffin while chatting. It was homemade and enormous. It took me quite some time to finish it but it delicious. White chocolate and raspberry. The only thing was that it wasn’t so much of a muffin as a giant hunk of shapeless deliciousness. Loved it.
I highly recommend you give My Other Brother a go.

Every dish is a couple of dollars too much — but it’s worth it!
Fresh ingredients, friendly staff who have always been welcoming, chatty and attentive.
They have all the usual breakfast suspects but usually add their own twist — and for the better!
Coffee is good and is fast becoming a staple of my weekend.

I’ve been here a few times and I must admit I really like this place.
The service is always good and the staff are always very friendly and chatty. And most importantly the food and coffee is good. The only minus point is that it is a little on the expensive side.
Last time I was here I ordered the Mc’Brother which is cheesy creamy scrambled eggs served with ham on a muffin. I also added a side of chorizo which for my part was a wonder strike and led to much envy from my co diners.
They offer a good range of breakfast and lunch options here. Breakfast choices are the usual suspects (full English, eggs on toast, muesli, fruit and pancakes etc) with the cafes own twist. I must admit I haven’t tried lunch here, but from memory the menu includes a good selection of burgers. Once I try lunch here I’ll be sure to update this review.
All up though a top café and one of the best in this area. A solid 4 star rating.

On a Sunday morning, coincidently located right amongst the walkby shoppers from the camberwell markets, lays a café named «my other brother»! Stunning with a ambience of people, outside tables perfect for people watching and enjoying the weather (well Melbourne’s amazing four season in one day)
Quiet hungover and walking the walk of shame, we stumbled across this place, or maybe stumbled into it! We needed a coffee so we went in, greeted within moments by a friendly smile and bubbly staff, we were located a table outside and had our coffee order taken and complimentary water at our table within minutes. Coffee and muffin follow very shortly after.
Such an amazing ‘straight from the oven’ muffin, raspberry and white chocolate was to die for! And the coffee complimented so well along side.
You’ll also find the interior of this place that caters to all, a must see place whether you live in the area or not be sure to check this one out.
The menu looked amazing and overseeing the food come out to tables I got excited, I will definitely be returning to get into the delicious menu.

This place is amazing as far as my list goes this has taken the top spot. The coffee is the best I have ever had. The service for when we went which was a very busy day was amazing. Attentive and friendly. And the food is absolutely amazing. Very highly recommend.

The food choices are great, the coffee good, the décor typically hipster cool retro, I just wish there was more natural light that got into the place.

This place is much better than the previous Car Park Café (sorry to those Car Park lovers). The quiet locale accompanied a suited minimalist design with the lighting dangling effortlessly from the ceiling.
The coffee is brilliant much like its brother in Fitzroy. The food was pretty tasty which I’m sure they’ll update with more experience.
All in all, a well done café in leafy Camberwell.
