Bennett St Cafe — Restaurant in Victoria

Not really quite sure what to say here.. The first time I tried the pizza it was fantastic albeit it is on the pricier side.

The second time I tried the pizza, it was below average. Still unsure if I would try again because its a lot of money to spend if it’s not going to be great.

The main thing about this place is that is absolutely insane is the cost of the sweet items in the cabinet. $10 for a Lemon Tart and $14 for a slice of Carrot Cake? This is actually absurd and unsure where they get this pricing from. The actual professional patisserie in Bendigo doesn't even charge that much for their intricate little cakes?! (And this place isn't even located in the CBD like the former so they cannot blame high rent) This is just a basic carrot cake made by young girls with no professional experience.

The owner doesn't seem to reply to reviews that are even criticize a little which is a shame, I really want to know where this pricing for sweets come from? Actually crazy.

Just based on this, I don't think I would recommend or go back as just seems like they are price gouging or just really really lack...

My partner and I have been here separately and together on a couple of occasions.

cake being 14$ is absurd. We ordered and paid then had to sit down and try and figure out how our order came to such a ridiculous price. Saw the price on another review afterwards so we know were not the only ones who were shocked. There's no prices in the cabinet.

It's also not a very welcoming vibe, maybe we don't fit the clientelle criteria for welcoming service, but it's felt off each time we've popped in.

Pizzas are good, coffee is good. Price point not so much.

*Also, a baby chino is some milk froth in a cup. Not a whole cup of hot milk ( that you charge us...

Amazing little Cafe serving incredibly coffee and some of the best wood fire pizzas you'll ever eat. Operating from a converted truck in his garage, the set up is rustic, unique and has a real community spirit to it.

The owner Darren is welcoming, friendly and really down to earth. He'll make you an amazing brew and have a good yarn with you whilst you wait.

Definitely one of Bendigos hidden gems....
