Lake View Cafe Colac — Restaurant in Colac

2 stars (instead of 1) because of the view, sweet little cottage dwelling and friendly service. Unfortunately, the food was horrible. Eggs overdone, bacon burnt around the edges, couldn’t tell if the Turkish bread was toasted or just slightly stale. If you’re after a coffee, a cake and a nice view then head along. The actual menu is lacking and would go a long way if some extra side options (avocado, tomato, mushrooms, spinach perhaps - all easy to get in country Vic) were available, without having to purchase a full “Garden Breakfast” which has zucchini and other bits that are a bit left of field that you’re likely not keen on for breakfast.

Then she made up some story that the second plate was made for someone else but gave it to me instead. Yet without a doubt, it was the same plate. If only the cook with a bad attitude had apologised for the badly over cooked cold eggs instead of rolling her eyes, it would have made a...

Visited yesterday afternoon — it was obviously close to closing time (2.45pm) as the coffee machine had been cleaned so I couldn’t order a takeaway coffee. The barista was really rude and reluctant to even let me use the toilet.

I ordered a gluten free savoury scone to takeaway which was lovely however a few hours later, my coeliac sister and I become extremely sick after eating it. She was so violently ill she was unable to continue driving her and her nine month old back home. I’m not sure if the scone was mislabeled or the lady gave me the wrong item as I haven’t had a response via email or Instagram yet. But if you’re coeliac I would definitely recommend avoiding this place as there is obviously a lack of attention to...
