Having been presented my coffee at the venue next door in a parer cup, I decided to try this place. To my dismay, this also arrived in a paper cup. By this stage I was thinking there must be some Ballarat code precluding the use of porcelain/glass outside. Thankfully, the short black was delicious. So much so that I went inside and ordered a latte. This too was delicious. Chatting to the staff was nice, but they seemed to want to argue with each other about the nuttiest tasting coffee, so I left them to that. Purchasing two bags of beans to take home, I was very pleased overall. Probably not a 5-star experience in Melbourne, but still a highly commended pass for sure and the best coffee I had in Ballarat.

He had a local brew and I had the Billy tea. It was delicious!!!! The service is great! Everyone there is so nice. Then there is all the gourmet food just like the Oakville Grocery in Napa. I think it would be great for people that are renting a cabin. You can go off to the spa and relax at home with all the gourmet foods, beer, and wine. This is a great place for brunch. Don't go too late in the day or you might miss out. Sit outside when it's nice out. It makes for a lovely meal in a pretty place that makes you feel so relaxed and pampered.
