Moon Mart

A Clarendon Street café blending Korean and Japanese flavours, from a bulgogi breakfast muffin to house-made condiments sold off the shelf.

Moon Mart brings Korean and Japanese-influenced cooking to Clarendon Street, having relocated from West Melbourne to South Melbourne. The daytime menu runs from a bulgogi breakfast sausage muffin to an unagi katsu sandwich, backed by Dukes Coffee Roasters coffee, while a small retail shelf sells the house-made condiments and preserves the business first started out with.

Moon Mart started life as a small online kimchi business before growing into a full café on Clarendon Street, and that grocery instinct still shows in the shop today: alongside the daytime menu sits a shelf of house-made condiments and preserves that customers can take home. It's an unusual combination for a neighbourhood café, and one that sets it apart from the rest of South Melbourne's coffee strip. On the menu, Korean and Japanese influences run through dishes like a bulgogi breakfast sausage muffin, okonomiyaki hashbrowns and an unagi katsu sandwich, alongside coffee from Dukes Coffee Roasters and specialty drinks such as a strawberry iced matcha. It's a compact space, seating around fifteen people inside with additional street-side tables, so it leans towards a quick, casual visit rather than a long sit-down. Moon Mart has also picked up a following beyond the immediate neighbourhood, featuring on Broadsheet's Melbourne coverage since opening on Clarendon Street. For anyone after something a little different from the standard café order, it's a worthwhile detour while exploring South Melbourne's food scene.
