We visit River View Cafe at least once a week, and our experiences have consistently been positive. The cafe tends to get quite busy on weekends, which is typical for all of Warrandyte, but we’ve never had to wait long for our food and coffee. The efficiency of their service is impressive, allowing us to enjoy our meals without much delay. One of the standout features of River View Cafe is their huge display cabinet filled with a variety of ready-made options, including sandwiches, pies, bagels, and more. It’s always a treat to browse through the selection. I particularly love their chicken focaccias; they are absolutely delicious and a must-try! Additionally, the coffee here is consistently good, making it a great spot to grab a quick caffeine fix. The staff at River View Cafe have always been friendly and welcoming - they even remember our coffee order - which adds to the overall enjoyable atmosphere. Whether we’re stopping by for breakfast or lunch, the combination of great food, friendly service, and the beautiful riverside setting makes every visit worthwhile. I highly recommend this cafe to anyone looking for a great cafe...
Read moreDeli / Cafe..... Hardly. Dropped in to get a late breakfast hoping to maybe order some cooked eggs. Only thing on the menu is a cacophony of carb rich, precooked assortment of fatty foods with gourmet names. In an attempt to stick to my medically recommended carb free diet, I asked for anything that wasn't carb rich.

(reminiscent of the old joke about feeding lamb to a vegetarian cause he couldn't eat meat) The quiche thing with the gourmet name, had the savory of something typically purchased at a fast food outlet. The tea was OK. Hard to mess up putting a tea bag in hot water. All for the budget price of $13. So if you like (very) overpriced precooked carb rich food that is assured to harden your arteries and shorten your life span ... this is the place. The only thing missing are the golden arches out the...
Read moreThis is known as one of the best coffee places in the area and certainly in the mornings, with plenty of tradies flying in and out to get their fix, it must be good. Located centrally opposite the Yarra River, this is a great place not just for coffee but also for food and meeting up with people. There is generous seating inside as well as out the front under cover. Dogs are welcome. Food choices are plentiful with wraps, focacias, pies, sandwiches and even ice cream etc. Staff are always so helpful and really take the time to get to know their clients. You can eat in or take away. The parking is pretty good out the front as most people are coming and going pretty quickly, otherwise you can park behind the cafe at the rear. Wheelchair friendly. Stroller/pram friendly. Kids welcome with portion sizes that suit...
