We decided to give this Cafe another chance after being refused service at 2.15pm. At the time the website said closes at 4pm. It still isn't correct at 3pm. Smashed avocado on toast with fetta was very pricey at over $20.00 I was expecting a poached egg with it but looking at the menu it was an extra $4.00. Ridiculous this money making racket has become. The meal should come with an egg. Also ordered the bacon egg and cheese sandwich/Turkish with aioli. There was hardly any cheese on this no barbecue sauce which it used to have. Aioli was awful. There are also extras on this which cost a small fortune.This is definitely not as good since the new owners have taken over. Needs to change and include some extras with the meal. Also when 5 customers arrived after 2pm the staff did not look happy. Looking at the time. Why don't people want to put a full day's...

We recently stopped by this nice spot for breakfast on Phillip Island. Despite the restaurant being nearly full, the attentive staff promptly arranged a table for our party of four, even without a prior booking.

Our drink orders included a wet chai, a cappuccino, a latte, and a matcha latte. While most of the drinks were well-prepared, the matcha latte was a bit too sweet for my liking as I didn't ask them to add sugar. It lacked the typical matcha flavor I enjoy.

For food, we ordered two eggs Benedict—one with bacon and the other with ham—along with a truffle mushroom sourdough and a smoked salmon delight. Each dish was freshly made and delicious, truly a treat for the taste buds.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone on Phillip Island. The combination of great food and attentive service made for a memorable...

Closed at 2.30 on a Saturday! Generous serving. No hollandaise sauce after 12.00! As I just got my food delivered some people came in, 2.35, said the kitchen was closed. In 15 minutes there were 12 people come through the door. All turned away. I had poached eggs, hash browns and bacon., coffee. Cost $24.50. 12 tourists turned away @ $25 per head = a loss of potentially $300, in 15 minutes. Are they too rich to bother? People coming from Melbourne are hungry, used to coffee shops being open all afternoon mostly. When are they going to wake up down here?!! I did point this out to the young man sweeping around my feet as I ate! Yesterday I missed out on lunch at San Remo. Closed at 2.00! We tourists are unaware of such ridiculously early closings. They want tourists down here, yet don't cater their eating hours for...

Our family visits Phillip Island quite often, and this isn’t our first time at this café. In the past, I would have happily given it 5 stars, but now I can only give 3. Perhaps due to rising costs, the portion sizes seem noticeably smaller, and prices have gone up — which is understandable. However, what’s disappointing is that the quality of the food and cooking has declined significantly. I ordered the smoked salmon dish, which surprisingly came fully cooked. It had a strong fishy smell, which made me wonder if it was due to the chef’s inexperience, or an attempt to mask ingredients that weren’t fresh — I can't say for sure. The only thing that remains consistently good is the coffee, which is why I’m still giving 3 stars.

We stopped over here for breakfast during our Philip Islands Tour. They were among the few cafes open in the morning and the menu was quite good too. It wasn't crowded and we got the seating for our group. You need to place the order at the counter and pay upfront. We ordered the following: Eggs Benedict, Grilled Chicken Burger, Roast Veg Sandwich, Acai Bowl and a couple of varieties of coffee. The items were served without much wait. The taste was really good and the quantity/portion size is worth the price as well. Staff are friendly and courteous. Overall a good place for a food pitstop.
