Mercetta occupies 115 Main Street in Mornington, previously trading as 115 before Anthony Dawe, who had worked there for almost a decade, took over the business in 2016 and reshaped it into a more family-friendly, multi-purpose venue. What started as a straightforward cafe now doubles as an outdoor cinema and function space across a 200-seat layout featuring booth seating, exposed brickwork and street art from local artist Dubiz. The all-day menu runs from French toast and triple-stacked buttermilk pancakes to a signature breakfast stack with poached eggs, avocado, chorizo and potato rösti. Mercetta has built a reputation around distinctive food and drink presentation, including a deconstructed hot chocolate topped with Persian fairy floss and pancakes finished with edible flowers, alongside a well-regarded Bloody Mary with candied bacon. The space is genuinely flexible, with a garden oasis, hanging chairs and both indoor and Main Street outdoor seating giving guests several distinct settings within the one venue. A dog-friendly menu extends the welcome to four-legged visitors, and the venue takes bookings for everything from casual catch-ups and corporate functions to weddings and workshops. Open daily for breakfast and lunch, Mercetta suits relaxed weekend brunches, family outings, and private functions needing a genuinely distinctive Main Street Mornington setting rather than a standard cafe hire.
