A beautifully characterful cafe inside a heritage building in the small town of Great Western. Multiple seating options. inside, out front, and a delightful courtyard at the rear.

Housed in a historic building with an attached general store stocking local produce and artisan goods. Features a dog-friendly courtyard with veg garden, visible bee colony in a wall by the bathrooms, and wide outdoor seating across front and rear. Alcoholic beverages and milkshakes available alongside coffee.

Contemporary Australian cafe with eclectic global influences. Moroccan lamb salad, harissa lamb, house hummus and calamari alongside classic Aussie brunch staples. No single cultural heritage, but locally sourced ingredients and a regional character that feels authentically Victorian.

Mostly excellent value with generous portions and fresh food praised by the majority. A small number of reviewers found pricing high for simpler items (sausage roll and hot chocolate at $20), and the serving sizes have occasionally disappointed. Overall, the quality justifies the price for road trippers seeking a quality alternative to fast food.
