Located not far from the Lorne Surf Life Saving Club, this cafe has picturesque views, inside and out - prime real estate. Outdoor deck seating is in high demand, and you may be lucky to be joined by a cockatoo vying for a snack.

This is a groovy place separated into different dining areas - a bar, a fireplace, the deck/grassed area and lounge.

The service here is excellent, and be sure to ask what the ‘special of the day’ is, as you may be lucky to get a home-made rosti, like me!

They serve breakfast from 7.30 am, lunch from 12 pm and dinner from 5 pm [you can make reservations online, but walk-ins are accepted too]. They also do take away orders.

I was lucky enough to have my breakfast outside while sitting in the shade, with views of the ocean as my entertainment/meditation.

I cannot fault this venue, the reasonable prices, the staff or the food delivered—a must when staying in Lorne.

Recommendations

Hickory smoked bacon, and poached eggs on toasted sourdough [I added mushrooms] - a hearty breakfast, huge serve and ever so tasty. The mushrooms, so buttery - mmmm. Set me up for the rest of the day.

Home-made rosti - this was the size of a brick and reminded me of scalloped potatoes layered lasagne style - so good!!!!

Long black coffee/ mixed juices - their coffee is on point and their juice freshly squeezed.
