What a lovely side trip for lunch of two scrumptious mushroom tacos and an extra large soy laté in the coolest spot in Essendon, tucked away near a park on a quiet corner. Has been habit forming! Nice selection of gluten free cakes too.

Stopped by Mr. Walker this morning for my coffee and honestly it was such a lovely experience. Everyone was so warm and cheerful, even that early in the day! I felt really at home and it put me in such a good mood to start the day. Such sweet people—I totally recommend dropping by. Thanks for the smiles! :))

I've visited twice now and both times loved the relaxed cozy atmosphere and friendly, attentive service. Tried their beef breakfast burrito - delicious! Had the sausage and egg muffin with hash brown the second time - delicious! Flat white and latte both beautifully made and tasted of fresh beans used. Prices are fair and worth it for the quality you get. Very thankful to have a great brunch spot in my neighbourhood, I'll definitely be a regular. Highly recommended.

Do yourself a favour and head to Mr Walker asap. I dropped in for a late lunch today and was warmly welcomed by the team - loved the vibe. Iced filter was light, fruity and refreshing - winner. Salad baguette, made to order, was generous and excellent quality. I loved the addition of fresh dill and mint! Surprise highlight was the fudgey chocolate brownie, perfect after-lunch treat. Looking forward to working my way through the extensive menu (can't wait to try a brekkie burrito).
