Močan & Green Grout

Very warm and friendly environment. Having the kitchen in the middle of the store is unique and adds to the feeling of being at home. I liked the baked eggs but the volume was slightly less than what I usually had in other cafes.

This small and compact cafe is quite unique with a see through and open island kitchen. The cafe serves a wide variety of food and drink which are of good standard. I would recommend the bacon and egg roll for a breakfast to brunch meal. The staff are also kind however the food takes longer to make.

Cosy with own, pleasant atmosphere and vibe. You can watch how your food is prepared. Fast and very polite service. Selection of different meals available where the $20 smoke trout salad with egg was a tasty and filling dish! I highly recommend it!

This is the best brunch cafe in Canberra and the regular customer base is a reflection of that. I have been going for 10 years. The bacon and egg roll has not changed in that whole time and I must have one per week. The rest of the menu is also great and never ceases to impress friends and family. Keep up the great work. Truly deserving of five stars.

fabulous find in this otherwise sterile and unlovable city. Got lost and ended up here on a Sunday morning, to find delicious coffee, delightful food, and excellent service. Highly recommended 👍

Lovely cafe. Really fantastic atmosphere, cozy design with lots of greenery and friendly staff. The coffee was great and the rolls we got were unreal! Highly recommend the Beef, Swiss cheese and mustard roll it was jam packed.

Very nice cafe with friendly staff, great food and cosy atmosphere. Fast service. Can recommend baked eggs with chickpeas and tomatoes. In winter they have mulled wine/Glühwein.

First visit to Canberra, and definitely the last visit to this café. I waited over 12 minutes for a medium coffee, and the place wasn’t even that busy. When I asked about my coffee since my cab had arrived, the staff casually replied that it was being made. Meanwhile, another staff member directed me to check “the other side.” To my surprise, the coffee had been sitting there, with no one even bothering to inform me. Why would you treat customers like this? No acknowledgment, no “thank you,” not even a basic smile to make someone feel welcome. This lack of courtesy and professionalism mirrors the experiences shared by others—rude staff, long wait times, and no regard for basic customer service. It’s shocking to see such consistent complaints about this place. With so many better options in Canberra, I strongly advise against wasting your time here. Absolutely awful service. Don’t come here.

We dropped in on our way into Canberra earlier this month and fell in love! The interior was gorgeous, full of reclaimed wood and plant abundant, the coffee was delicious and beautifully presented, and the food was some of the best we've had anywhere. I had the "baked eggs, chickpeas, tomato, chèvre & sourdough" listed under the Favorites section - the dish, which was absolutely bursting with flavor, was comforting, hearty, and filling without being too heavy. I also had a side some smoked salmon, the edges of which were rolled in some kind of dill mixture - fabulous! My boyfriend had the corned beef sandwich and loved it as well. The manager who greeted us and took our order could not have been nicer. I wish we had a spot like this at home!

A cute little cafe, very rustic feel to it. I went for breakfast one weekday morning and it was quite busy. I ordered the bircher and coffee from the friendly server and settled down in a cosy corner. My food order appeared after a reasonable amount of time, but I have to say it was not enjoyable. The claggy sticky texture was wierd and rather unpleasant. My coffee was fine, but it did not arrive until after I had finished my meal. Not a great experience this time.

Ducked in for a very early breakfast pre-full-day meeting and the food, coffee and service soothed my soul enough to help me power through the day. Welcomed in off the cold Canberra street, my coffee order was promptly taken and served. A beautifully balanced flat-white. Nothing fancy, but well executed. Breakfast was home made granola with pomegranate labneh and stewed pair and grapes. The labneh is what hooked me in, but the whole dish was nicely constructed and balanced. Crunchy and crispy and soft and tart and sweet. Just the right serving size for me, too. The staff deftly managed paying customers as well as a clearly very popular takeaway window.

Amazing place to take Brunch! The atmosphere is so cool with good music and the staff is very nice. Good food and coffee. I also tried a apple carrot celery juice and it was awesome!

Brilliant modern Australian food in a gorgeous rustic setting. Open kitchen and bar area allows you to watch the action. The restaurant's focus on fresh and local is obvious. Outside are herbs and greens grown and used by the restaurant. A giant stack of fresh brown eggs, which they perfectly poach, sits on the bench. The confit duck sandwich is delicious, if a bit messy. Good tea and coffee.

Came here twice. The cheese plate was excellent! I loved the asparagus/poached egg/king mushroom brunch dish. Definitely a place for brunch and long black. As great the flat whites lookEd, the coffee flavor isn't there as much as the long black.

This place was a very welcome surprise on my recent return to Canberra after a couple of years away. It has a very funky decor with a cosy feel; something many businesses in Canberra seem to struggle with given they are often housed in modern office buildings. Importantly though the coffee is good-- a decent show at some latte art which gives a good indication the the milk texturing has been well done. The service was also great. I had smoked trout, broken eggs and grilled asparagus for breakfast. Not an enormous serve- which I see as a plus having just returned from 12 months in the US. However, if you are a strapping bloke you might have hoped for more. All in all a great new addition to the Canberra cafe scene and a very positive addition to the New Acton area.

There's a stream of new coffee shops coming online in Canberra at the moment. And this is definitely one of the best. It does everything well. The coffee is as you'd expect -- really good. And great food, to boot. There's a brunchy bent to it which I just love. The fit out of the place works well -- shabby chic meets rustic. The vibe inside is cool, the staff are super laid back and super friendly. One of them, worried that I'd been coffee'd out, mentioned that the shop next door sells wine and they were happy for me just to hang out BYO. I mean, how often does that happen? If it's a nice day, you've got a whole bunch of outdoor seating to choose from. They seem to have a thing for Radiohead, which is just fine by me. Honestly, what more could you want in a coffee shop?

Discovered this absolute gem on zomato and this place certainly lived up to its wonderful reviews! Such a great atmosphere, lovely staff and the meal was absolutely delicious. This cafe stresses the importance of organic produce and you really can taste the difference with these dishes (or it may just be psychology.. either way!) in that they just taste a little bit fresher and you won't feel guilty that you're filling yourself up with junk. All in all, would definitely visit again and I'd recommend it to anyone who, like me, gets a little bit too excited about cute cafes.

Adorable & trendy cafe! Very earthy ambiance & decor. Amazing food and coffee. This was my first meal in Canberra and it has yet to be topped.

Every single mouthful was a delight! A beautiful, intimate restaurant, very stylish. I thought it was a café where I could write, but it ended up being a bit more upscale than that. Regardless, the staff didn't mind that I wrote at one of the small tables for a few hours. I ordered a soy chai and then dinner when they started at 6. The sweet potato dish was phenomenal and beautifully presented. I didn't want it to end! Thanks for a lovely Friday evening :)

A bit of a disappointment, particularly because earlier reviews had been so praiseworthy. I struggled to see what was good about the place, other than the fit-out, which was fine, but nothing extraordinary. In a service industry, service is probably the key offering, but I got the impression that singing along to the song on the iPod (or maybe just talking to one another about the song) was more important than actually serving someone who was waiting, quite obviously, to be served. I can be hipster with the best of them. I once owned a racing bike (Peugeot Carbonlite 103), read Frankie and the Economist (in an ironic way, of course), and can grow a beard or mo with the best of them (as long as you give me a couple of weeks warning), but if you want your cool cafe to make money, you need to actually make your customers feel that it's okay to 1. Intrude upon your private space, and 2. Ask for something to eat and drink. Too much hipster, not enough service.

This place was stunning. Few words are needed as the food definitely speaks for itself. This cafe/ restaurant has a quirky fit out, lovely wait staff and food that is to die for. We tried almost everything on offer on tonight's menu including locally sourced oysters, wild mushrooms with bone marrow& the pork belly. We are not normally desert fans but after such scrumptious mains how could we resist trying both of the desert options ? Big ups to this cute place, so happy this is what we will remember from our Canberra experience.

Open on ANZAC day? Winning already. These guys deliver on coffee, they deliver on food and they deliver on a warm place to find some breakfast after freezing your toosh off for the dawn service. Food was served on plates (I know I know, it's exciting when I get plates!) - the staff were lovely and there's toilets that are just across the road that you can use if you're busting to go. All in all, I was happy with my eggs and beans. Definitely hit the spot and helped with the drive back to Sydney.

I really wanted to like this place! I have walked by it for a few weeks admiring the decor and finally had time today to sit in the sun and order some tea. The vibe from some of the staff is very stand off-ish and when I asked for a refill of hot water they were reluctant to give it a second wash. A waste of loose leaf tea IMO. The reasoning was they only charge me 3.50 for a tea so I should just order another one. Not a good feeling.

Located in New Acton, we were here over the recent weekend and found it tucked near to A. Baker. A real surprise and very enjoyable. Fresh ingredients and friendly (and quick) service, plus good coffee - bonus. Lots of arty objects inside and lots of wood too. Love the open plan on the sitting area, and there is tonnes of sitting space outside if inside is full. Highly recommended.

Such a lovely place for breakfast. Got the baked egg & eggplant.. which was so tasty. Coffee was so good too. Great vibes and nice environment. I also got to talk to a very nice journalist who was visiting Canberra from Sydney. Overall the experience was really nice.

great vibe..very hype design but at the same time simple.. food is delicious and original dinner or brunch worth 5 star

Ridiculously small portion for one of the mains (pork belly). Nearly thirty bucks gets you three small cubes of meat and fat - less food than the $7 scallops and chorizo entree. What a joke! Service was slow, and they couldn't even manage to bring out the two mains at the same time.

Fantastic! We were looking for a unique place to eat while in Canberra, and this was definitely it! The service was fantastic, the resteraunt was intimate but fun, and the food was above the top! We let our gracious server pick our courses and she absolutely nailed it! We will definitely be back the next time we are in town!

Great little spot. Warm and friendly staff. They accommodated our large group, had very bubbly staff look after us and served delicious brunch and coffee.

I loved the atmosphere and setting here. The server was very knowledgable and helpful with the menu. The open kitchen concept was pretty neat. I had a chai tea latte and it was delicious. I also had eggs with hummus and they were delicious. Everyone enjoyed their food. It's a super cute little place and I think would be great for small groups or grabbing just coffee or a small bite.

Decent coffee. Also had takeaway gf bacon and egg sandwich. The gf bread was a bit dry. Overall was tasty but also very pricey for what you get.

Don't be put off by the wankery that Močan and Green Grout oozes--you should expect it from a venue that refers to itself as an "ethical café" and doubles as a bike maker. But there is something to be said for a café that does walk the walk. They literally grow their herbs at the front door and provide their green waste to the compost bin at the local community garden!

Excellent place for a quiet coffee in a relaxing and cozy environment. Decor is great, staff perfect!

5 Stars for the coffee alone. At first you get that "am I cool enough to be in here?" chill upon entry, but the staff is really welcoming, I like the decor, the food is good, the coffee is awesome, and New Acton continues to prove itself to be the coolest part of Canberra, hands down.

A nice change of pace and a good example of what can be achieved with dedication to this new food movement. I had chai tea and the smashed eggs with mushrooms and garlic. Packed full of flavor with a nice chunky slice of toast. On top of the goods food comes a great ambiance and attentive service. Well worth trying out.

Ice chocolate was one of the nicest I've had. The sandwiches were okay, I wouldn't go back for the savoury food but liked the pear and coffee. Nice herb garden and atmosphere was good.

Amazing, delicious food and great environment. There were five of us and we all ordered different dishes for breakfast and everyone enjoyed their pick so I would definitely come back!

The setting was absolutely beautiful and the wait staff were incredibly lovely. The food ,however, somewhat let down the night. The idea of sharing meals with your fellow guests is a nice idea, however, can get very expensive. Out of the five meals we ordered, the only meal I would possibly order again is the soft shell crab. The rest were quite disappointing.
