"The Coffee's and Chi Latte's, are the best I tasted in Queenscliff, Yum!"
5 Awesome food, nice atmosphere, definately deserves a much higher google review count, we will definately be returning on our next queenscliff adventure!
5 Lovely cafe, stopped in for lunch after our steam train ride. Lovely service from the 2 owners, one serving front and her husband was the chef in their kitchen. Cafe was clean, service was quick. Food was delicious and very generous in there portions. I veganised the vegetarian breakfast they offered, accompanied it with a soy latte that went down a treat and l would definitely highly recommend you stop in. They cafe has a great shop option, supporting local suppliers that l love, pastries made on site, chutneys, sauces, wines, antique wares, it was a one stop shop. I walked out with a full belly and some delicious chutneys and sauce homemade and reasonably priced. I will definitely return.
5 At 11am on a Tuesday it was quiet and peaceful out in the garden veranda in the back. Beautiful long Macchiato. Very friendly owners. Can’t see why this place doesn’t get a 5-star rating from everyone. Highly recommend it! Update: Hands down, the best breakfast we had in Australia during our 3 week trip! Do not miss this place if you’re going through Queenscliff!
5 A delightful coffee stop with very interesting knick knacks for sale. Service was excellent and the coffee was lovely
5 This is the hopping place on a sunny December 27! They took such care in receiving my complicated coffee order, as I like decaffeinated coffee and put with a fancy twist! The result is beautiful! And the orange muffin I am eating right now with coconut and some delicious kind of orange cream on the top is absolutely the best muffin I’ve ever had. Moist and fresh slivered almonds. Tables with umbrellas to keep the shade out of our eyes, and a beautiful setting. I highly recommend this place!
