Coffee Cat Pakenham — Restaurant in Melbourne

In we flew from Sydney Town On the road, Traralgon-bound We needed lunch - no lavish feast In transit to the Great South East It had good ratings - Let's try that The cafe they call Coffee Cat

Make no mistake, this place does well By serving hi-viz clientele I'll tell you straight: There's deep fried stuff To swell the hungry trucker's gut But rolls and salads there await We shared a toastie - it was great Our sandwich toasting maître de Was skilled and friendly as can be The iced long black was chilled, not hot I tell you, mate, it hit the spot

This cafe has a silly name And yet we liked it all the same It's rare I'll say "I'm glad we ate In that...

This place is lovely and the staff are super awesome. Clean, gently lit, calm and welcoming cafe. A little out of the way and a lot worth it. Would have loved if there was a store cat. 🤭 Gender neutral toilet. ✅️ Thought I'd left my reading glasses behind and called while we looked for a spot to pull over. Going above and beyond, they checked where I thought I might have left them and was about to check outside in case I'd left them on the roof when we drive off when we pulled over and I found them down the side of the chair. 😅 Thank you for your assistance and kindness...

Great coffee, great toasted ham and cheese sandwich. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Will definitely be coming back here.

Update: I came back and was totally in awe. Had the scotch Philly cheese toasty. If you only have one toasty in your life make it this one. Magnificent. Coffee still spectacular.

Update 2: have been back a couple of times now. I have had the double chin burger and the bacon and chicken burger (can not remember it's name). Out of this world. Coffee still...
