A somewhat hidden cafe next to KFC in the Marsh that has the sweetest staff. Coffee isnt bad and the food is hearty. Love the set up, dog friendly out back and then cosy inside; with your choice to sit in one of the three areas within the cottage. read more

There are rumours abound that Bacchus Marsh has a dearth of decent coffee shops and modern menus. I'm here to tell you it's not true. Back Black Espresso Bar was once a house that has been turned into a cafe. You can be seated one of three rooms, or outside. Sitting in one of the front two rooms gives a feeling of visiting a friend's home, a posh friend who has a cook and staff, that is. I've been here a few times for breakfast and have a favourite in 'Getting Figgy with it': sourdough toast topped with fig chutney, Meredith Farm Goats feta and a generous serving of bacon. A great mix of sweet, salty and the unmistakable tang of goats cheese for a well balanced and very filling meal. A close 2nd favourite is the french toast which can come plain, with maple and bacon or a sweet offering of lemon curd, edible flowers and icecream. The latter I am yet to try but my dining companion assured me it was pretty amazing. The coffee is excellent - I'm now a straight-up espresso drinker, no milk or sugar to spoil the purity of the pour - and I can say this is some of the best coffee I've had. Sorry that it's not on commute route otherwise I'd be a daily visitor. read more

Great coffee, friendly staff excellent food. Stopped for lunch en route to a gig we were doing. This was a great find. A funky cafe, really great urban feeling. All the food was good. read more

Baby Black Espresso Bar - Above the fireplace. - Restaurants Near Me - Bacchus Marsh, VIC

We had Fathers' Day lunch here and were not thrilled at the service, the food or the venue. At one stage a sausage roll was delivered to our 6 year old, she touched it and then it was whisked away to an adjoining table. When her sausage roll arrived it was so over cooked it couldn't be cut into. Overall not very impressed. read more

Is there better coffee than Baby Black, well through my travels I'm yet to find better coffee, plus the food is great, the cakes can be dangerous as you will want more than one, if your in Bacchus this is the place to go, staff super friendly, atmosphere is awesome, only negative is parking can sometimes be a little tricky, but this is a positive as it shows how busy they are !!!! read more

I've been to Baby Black Espresso Bar a few times now, the food is averagely prices, affordable and overall tastes nice however, the drinks are pricey and bread in the sandwich section is dry and stale. The breakfast selection was very adequate however I wouldn't oversell this place on the lunch selection. If I do come back here it will be for the breakfast. read more

Visited here Sunday brunch. Parked at Foodworks. Access via front only. Sat out back with dog. Three other dogs there. Order at counter. Delivery good considering how busy it was. Though when it turned cold people left. My poached egg and mashed avo very nice and under the Bernard Salt price tag. Coffee was good but best was the friendly staff who really brightened my day. read more

Funky little cafe with a great breakfast. Had the 'veggie patch' which had poached eggs, sour dough toast, garlic fried cherry tomatoes and mushrooms, avo mash and wilted spinach. Delicious! Good prices too. read more

Super groovy little place nice coffee. Felt a bit clicky with the locals but still enjoyed a nice home style breaky. Very rustic to match the homestead feel. read more

I would give this place five stars if they reheated their stuff properly. They have gorgeous frittatas, pies and sausage rolls which are ruined when they stick them in the microwave to heat. I have been coming here from Melbourne regularly for over a year and it is always the same. Sausage rolls where you need a saw to cut them because they are so rubbery. They need to invest in a proper warmer. During the winter when they have soup it is fabulous (no pastry to reheat!), so if you are coming here stick to the winter months or to their wonderful array of cakes. Unless you bring your own cutting utensil. read more

My husband and I love the Baby Back. It is like Fitzroy Hipster meets old school country. Great retro and outside atmosphere, And despite what someone on here said. The sausage rolls are great - my husband especially goes there for the sausage rolls. Could do with a bit more variety and smoothies, but apart from that a great place. Also has live music on most weekends! read more

This Cafe was highly recommended by friends & family. I was not disappointed. The meals & coffee are superb. The staff are very friendly. Be warned though. People travel from far away to go to this Retro Cafe on their way to their destination. Therefore it is recommended to make a Booking, or you could miss out because their all booked out. It's that popular. read more
