JOE’S MILKBAR • CAFE — Restaurant in Melbourne

Right folks, are you in Sunshine West and wondering where to go to get a coffee, toasted sandwich, or perhaps something that you might expect to find at a small convenience store. Joe's Milkbar has totally got you covered. Family owned and run, so you just know the service is second to none. I've moved suburbs and yet still stop in when I'm in the area, as they have always been accommodating, friendly and up for a chat.

So, call in and see what I'm talking about, don't just take my word for it. You won't be disappointed. I never am.

Are you tired of the run of the mill Maccas coffees that just keep going up and up in price where they charge 50 cents for each extra shot of coffee......WHAT.??!! For just $5, you read that right, you can get a large coffee to your taste (yes even extra shots) and avoid long queues in the drive through. If you're in the area grab your coffee at Joe's and perhaps even let them know Uncle Bob told ya.

Uncle Bob your...

There are always people outside hanging out and having a coffee, however there isn't anything inside the shop that makes me want to go back there.

We went there once to see what it was like as it's the only coffee shop on the strip, and the inside is super dated, with random things on sale that are the same price as a service station. No seating inside. Bain-Marie was unstocked and had a tub of butter with a knife in it. A packet of sliced ham, random lettuce leaves and other random accoutrements. There were no cakes, or sweets to offer either. So we just ordered a coffee and it was exceptionally average.

Jo must be doing something right though, as he always seems to have people outside.

Very confused...

I absolutely love going to Joe’s. Beautiful family run business that’s always welcoming whether it’s 5am or 8pm, with the best pastries, iced coffee and much much more! Friends ask me why I love it so much and the best description I have is, it’s like that TV show Cheers. I go in there, get greeted with a warm welcome & say “The usual thanks” I have a little joke and banter with ‘ the locals’ and always leave with a huge smile on my face. It’s a real community, something that’s really precious these days and you can tell as soon as you walk...
