Hobbledehoy Cafe and Distillery — Restaurant in Victoria

Seems i must be out of kilter with everyone else reading their reviews. Limited menu. Essentially a collection of small dishes. Don't come hungry. And no sides to pad them out.....for example they have a burger but you cannot get chips (were told, and I quote 'we are not that sort of place, the pub does chips'). So don't expect a 'lunch' - expect a light menu. I had a pulled pork burger - it was ok but nothing special to come out of your way for. Partner had the chicken wrap - said it lacked filling for the entire wrap and by the end they were just eating the 'bread' we were thinking to have desert but we're so disappointed we just left. It's certainly not a place to linger. And therefore honestly it's not a place you'd take family/children. There is little for them. You get the feeling they are trying to be something more 'fro fro'. Which explains why on this Friday lunch time it was pretty empty (saw 2 people come in) while the pub across the road was busy. In fact you want a full meal you'd need to go to the pub. Used to come here when it was the Whitty Cafe for years and it had a great menu and was always busy and we would make a detour to come......not again it's declined that much under new owners. There is a far better cafe up the road in Mohyu or the general store for great burgers etc in Cheshunt down the...

I recently visited Hobbledehoy and was thoroughly impressed by the experience. The cafe has a wonderful atmosphere - warm, inviting, and comfortable. Their menu offers a great range of options, and I ordered their sensational long black coffee and avocado toast. The coffee was perfectly brewed, and the avocado toast was delicious, with creamy avocado and a fragrant blend of King Valley spices and sesame seeds.

But the food wasn't the only thing that impressed me. The staff were friendly, attentive, and accommodating. Despite being busy, the service was prompt and I felt well looked after. Overall, I highly recommend Hobbledehoy for anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable breakfast or lunch experience. It's a delightful cafe with a great menu, top-notch service, and a...

I do want to give this place a good review, but there were issues. I arrived for a late lunch and only wanted a sandwich. They could only provide what was already made up in the fridge. Ok. Ham, cheese, tomato foccachia toasted and a cup of English breakfast tea. Sandwich came, cold in the centre and cheese not yet melted. Tea came, not English breakfast but a flowery brew more like Lady Grey tea. Where they a fill in crew? Did they think I wouldn't know my teas? They were really pleasant, but my lunch was a mess! Can't imagine running a restaurant if you can't manage a toasted sandwich and a cup of tea. Cold or not, the sandwich tasted great, so I just carried on with my day. Do better! I hate leaving bad reviews for...
