White Mojo Is Melbourne's New Home of Croissant Burgers and Cauliflower Pannacotta
Melbourne, you've outdone yourself.
Melbourne is getting a pair of brand new breakfast spots with a serious amount of mojo. Opening this week on Hardware Street in the CBD, with a second location in Balwyn soon to follow, White Mojo is serving up one of the most insane menus we've seen in quite some time. Do things like vacuum sealed watermelon and croissant burgers float your boat? In that case, you're looking in the right place.
Open for breakfast and lunch Monday through Saturday, the options at White Mojo's city location are enough to make even the most journeyed Melbourne brunch-o-philes take note. Their signature burger is filled with tempura soft shell crab, pickled cucumber, chipotle mayonnaise and a fried egg, and did we already mention that it's served in a croissant!?
Other standout menu items include waffles with lemon curd, meringue and freeze-dried berries, nutritionist approved coconut smoothie bowls, and cauliflower pannacotta with Canadian scallops, potato popcorn and black pudding dust, served in a smoke-filled glass kalosh.
Your caffeine fix at White Mojo is a Sumatran blend, with the baristas using different grinders for milk and black coffee. Alternatively you can get a Matcha latte served hot or cold, or stock up on Vitamin C with a glass of fresh pressed OJ.
White Mojo Balwyn, meanwhile, is expected to open in the next few weeks, with the owner promising a menu that is "90 percent the same as the CBD location with a few tweaks and changes to suit the area".
White Mojo can be found at 115 Hardware Street, Melbourne. For more information and to stay up to date on their Balwyn location, visit facebook.com/whitemojocafe.
