Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Came here for breakfast on a Sunday morning. Food took a little long to arrive - close to 30 mins all up. Coffee was served in good time. Food itself was really nice - the fried chicken toastie and eggs shakshuka were both great. Was...passing through the area but would recommend.More

A fantastic local cafe with some of the best coffee in Warrnambool. It has a lovely atmosphere inside and the staff are all friendly and efficient. We regularly go here and are always met with the same standard. The selection of sweets to go are...delicious and there are great gluten free options. I love the burgers and the menu is wonderfully thought out. Easy, quick takeaway ordering as well! Definitely one of the best cafes here.More

A beautiful little cafe with a nice atmosphere. We are on vacation from the states driving down the great ocean road and found this nice little cafe. I enjoyed a nice flat white and the staff was quite considerate. We had a nice breakfast, istra...bacon, avocado, sourdough and delicious poached eggs. My wife enjoyed the Middle Eastern Smashed Avo which had a nice mixture of avocado, feta cheese and chick peas with lemon. Quite tasty.More
