Time After Time | Bakery Cafe
Chef Mino Han’s new bakery café Time After Time brings together the flavours of his two home cities, Seoul and Melbourne, in a fresh and welcoming space.
The café draws crowds for its signature black croissants, which often sell out before noon. Han, known in Melbourne for @altpastabar and his appearance as “Melbourne’s Best” on Netflix’s Culinary Class Wars, has created a place built around simple food done exceptionally well.
Fresh baking fills the café with croissants, sourdough and baguettes straight from the oven. With great coffee, warm pastries and a relaxed neighbourhood feel, Time After Time is the perfect spot to start your morning, but arrive early before the favourites are gone.

Visiting Time After Time Bakery Cafe offers more than just great food; it’s a unique cultural experience that showcases Chef Mino Han’s impressive culinary background. Having tasted croissants at many Melbourne bakeries, I found the black croissants here absolutely exceptional — their rich, slightly smoky flavor and flaky texture make them stand out. The café’s commitment to fresh baking means that arriving early is key if you want to avoid missing out on these favorites. What I personally love is the harmonious blend of Seoul and Melbourne influences, reflected in the bakery's atmosphere and menu. The cinnamon roll is a sweet surprise, pairing perfectly with their carefully crafted lattes. The coffee here is consistently well-made and robust, making it ideal for coffee lovers seeking a relaxed spot to start their day. The welcoming neighborhood vibe and the open hours from 7:30am to 3:30pm make it convenient for morning visits or casual afternoon stops. If you appreciate artisanal bread, don’t miss their sourdough and baguettes fresh from the oven — perfect to take home or enjoy with a café latte. Overall, Time After Time is a hidden gem for both locals and visitors in Melbourne’s café scene. It highlights the importance of quality, simplicity, and cultural fusion in contemporary bakery cafes. Whether you’re craving unique pastries or a cozy ambiance, this spot is well worth a visit.
