There was some sort of force field drawing us into Gourmet Larder. We tossed and turned about…read moresitting inside or out and in the end we took a seat by the window. There are tables available on the footpath for prime people watching, in the rear courtyard for a little more privacy or inside with an industrial but still cosy feel. The waiter was wonderful! Charismatic, cheery and funny. And whilst we did escape his memory for a while we didn't really mind. We only stayed for a coffee but it was a really good drop and I would definitely recommend giving the Larder a go!

Stopped by for a late breakfast & since it is always pretty busy here, luckily a table had just…read morebecome available for our group of 5. The service is friendly & bottled water was brought to our table straight away, as well as our orders taken for coffee.There's a large menu selection for all day breakfast. I was looking for a dairy & gluten free option & decided on the vanilla rice pudding with rhubarb, strawberries and flaked almonds which was absolutely delicious. The other meals for our group looked pretty good too, bacon & eggs were a generous size serving, there's definitely no scrimping on the bacon here. We were all very happy with our breakfast choices. No split bills, but that's ok. There's also produce available for purchase including coffee beans, wine, condiments & sauces. I would highly recommend Gourmet Larder when visiting Daylesford, whether for breakfast, brunch, lunch or just for a coffee.

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. Which is, of course, why a person goes to Hepburn Springs.
