This is a fun place - located in an architectually significant circular concrete building that used to be a Beaurepaire tire place. Indoor and outdoors spaces. Some outdoor spaces have plastic blinds to stop the wind. But we were there on a cool but sunny...Bendigo winter day and sat with the sun on our backs outside, socially distanced of course. Yummy house-made crumpets with honey from their own beehives on the roof. And the Vegie Breaky was amazingly delicious and generous: 2 poached eggs, 2 slices of their yummy soughdough toast, mushrooms, house made spicy beans, spinach. Great value. Good coffee too. It is also a bakery, so you can purchase good quality soughdough bread of all types, muffins and other goodies.More

The service is great and the breakfast is delicious. As advertised, the bread is wonderful. The place has a fun mid-century aesthetic and is suitable for families, or for takeaway coffee and fresh bread. Well worth a visit.

Stopped by here on Saturday the 12th of December, and placed an order for some food. There really wasn’t that much on order, the young lass behind the counter seemed to be too busy talking to a young bloke at the side of the counter...and then realised we were there waiting to be served. She told the young bloke that she had to serve us and would get back to him. We ordered a Breakfast Frittata, a Ham, cheese and Tomato Toastie and another Toastie with only cheese and Tomato. She said it only came with the ham, I told her I didn’t eat meat and could I have one one minus the ham, and requested no butter to be put on the outside of the bread, we asked about the drinks, and were told the cold ones were over in the fridge on the side. There were no prices that we could see for the food and the drinks. We took, 2 lemonades and a Schweppes. I went to pay for the bill and again I reminded her that there was to be no butter to put on the outside of the toastie for the cheese and tomato. She assured me this was noted. Our bill came to $46.80, a rather expensive lunch in my view. We took our table number and went outside, only to find the tables were somewhat dirty and the lass who was cleaning the other tables was chatting with another girl. We didn’t like the first table that we had chosen, as it had a wet spillage on top of it, and chose the second table, which was a bit better than the first. Our order came out about ten mins later. The frittata looked decent, however the chutney was too sweet for the person’s likening, the ham cheese & tomato was average and a skimpy service of salad. The side of the plate which consisted of a few strands of julienne carrots and one or two pieces of rocket which was pulled out of a bag, and the cheese and tomato toastie came out with the Top Layered Buttered, when I had requested twice before hand I did not want this. On checking my docket bill, I noticed that they had charged me for the Ham, when I told them I didn’t eat meat. For two toasties at the price of $10.50 each, I thought was a complete rip off. It worked out to be $15.60 per person for lunch, the only good thing I can say is that the bread was lovely and fresh. Won’t be back here again, as it was an expensive lunch with basic food and the young lass behind the till needs to improve her listening skills if she wants to give good customer service in the future.More
