A contender for the most unique eatery on the Mornington Peninsula, Blue Mini captures the essence of everything local. This quirky retro-style hub is situated in the repurposed Rosebud Ten Pin Bowling Alley. Headed by owner John Ward, manager Nicole Walker and our dedicated team of hospitality professionals, Blue Mini is more than just a café. With a mix of great food, house-roasted coffee, local gourmet produce and a welcoming vibe, it’s a destination where you can meet, eat, drink and linger. While having the space to accommodate large groups, we do not disappoint if you are looking for that cosy feel.
Eatery
Known for our all-day brunch menu, the meals at Blue Mini are a fusion of well-known classics such as eggs benedict and traditional bacon and eggs alongside more modern dishes with a twist: crazy eggs, hawker noodles, Indian-style corn fritters, and vegan Thai cauliflower larb salad. With access to some of the best produce and suppliers in the area, Blue Mini’s meals, homemade cakes, slices and pastries are up there with the best. We are also fully licensed, offering local wines, beers and ciders to support the Peninsula. The dog-friendly courtyard, complete with a kitchen garden, is perfect for outdoor dining in the warmer months where you can sit and watch the world go by.
Emporium
The theme continues through the recently remodelled retail emporium, featuring a unique range of carefully curated products and gifts with a focus on Mornington Peninsula gourmet outlets, artisan suppliers and makers. Homewares, bath, beauty and fashion items feature alongside essentials from the likes of Baker Boys, Lievito Bakery, Seasons Gourmet, and Chocolat of Mornington.
