Moons Licensed Espresso Bar — Restaurant in Lorne

‘Where can I get a great cup of coffee here in Lorne?’ I asked many, and the resounding answer was ‘Moons’.

This cafe sits on the main drag of Lorne and is quite unassuming - no big signs advertising them [tiny sign on the door], in fact, it took me a while to find them - the long queues should have been the giveaway…

You have the opportunity to sit inside or out. I was lucky enough to share a picnic table with a few local cockatoos, which is a novelty, and people walking their dogs.

Moons Espresso Bar has a chilled atmosphere, which could be because the beach is across the road. It is a meeting place for locals and tourists alike and a great way to find out where to get a great meal or the best walks to do.

Serving specialty Coffee Supreme South Blend and breakfast, brunch and lunch. The freshly squeezed juice combinations are in high demand. The menu is healthy and caters for a range of dietary needs.

Their kitchen is small, and the chef works manically to complete the flow of orders to a uniform standard. The baristas do their job efficiently and with a smile on their face, which is commendable due to the sheer amount of orders and the occasional wingers who want things done yesterday!

Moons Licensed Espresso Bar - worth a visit to chillax and get that caffeine fix.

Nestled just across from Australia's most pristine beach, I stumbled upon a captivating cafe that has quickly become my go-to spot for a serene escape. The ambiance exudes a coastal charm, creating a perfect blend of relaxation and indulgence.

I was going to write a much longer paragraph explaining my rating but figured judging from the other low ratings and reviews over the years, clearly the owner just doesn’t care. As previously stated by many others, MAJOR attitude problem here. Disappointing after spending so much and copping a 20% surcharge over the long weekend, of which my friends and I would have been fine with if we actually got decent service.. The waitress who took our orders was rude and dismissive and unwilling to consider the simplest of requests. Considering you’re in a tourist destination and dealing with people who have many allergies and intolerances, maybe rethink? Coming from Melbourne, I’ve never dealt with such service in any of our...
