My most favourite cafe the town of Yea has to offer!! I really hope the new business owners can keep up with the high standard of quality!!! Firstly the building in which holds marmalades is an amazing historic Old World structure which is very quainte with moving ambianth originally what I believe was once a general store it stands since the 1880's lots of amazing old history! The cafe offers brilliant coffee and a light seasonal menu with gormet food opptions available for breakfast and lunch plus it's a many array of tasty treats a great selection of cakes slices and biscutes! With 2 main seating areas each room has its own fireplace for those colder days! It is also family friendly with toy corner for the children! The store also have a fantastic gift shop section with heaps of loaclly produced products for sale and handmade items not to mention lots of marmalade jam for sale top notch marmalade indeed!

We travelled to Yea from South Gippsland to eat here after seeing it advertised on Facebook. We usually quickly stop at one of the bakeries on the way through when camping.

The food was excellent (Pumpkin with ginger soup, and Chicken & rocket focaccia) and the room was comfortable and warm with the fire-place going.

($22) The only reasons why I've given this place 4 stars instead of 5 is because I felt that it was a bit pricey for a country town, and it also lost points because the staff weren't overly friendly. I couldn't get any of them to crack a smile and that's rare for me. Maybe they were just having a bad day. Would I go again? Yes. I'd give...
