Cute little bakery with delicious baked goods and simple dishes (sandwiches, quiches, salad, etc)…read more Everything was fresh and seemed pretty healthy. There is indoor and outdoor seating available, altho indoor seating was a bit limited (especially for tables; plenty of bar/stool seating). Free still & sparkling tap water available. This place is perfect for a bite after a rigorous bike ride or hike. Service staff is friendly (like all of Aus that I've encountered). Not open everyday so check the hours before you go! Ordered the spinach, ricotta and feta pie with a side of daily salad (green bean and a bunch of other veggies in vinaigrette dressing). The pie came with a side of homemade chutney and the serving size was pretty big (for a pie). Even though it was filled with cheese, it didn't feel heavy in the stomach. My partner ordered the sausage apple roll (made from free-range Victorian Pork) and it was the biggest sausage roll I've seen. Jam packed with quality meat and also served with a side of homemade chutney.

Delicious. Eclectic. Quaint. The pastry chef should be commended. The pastries are world class. The…read morebreads, home made jams etc are perfection. The staff baristas can make a good cup of coffee. Highly recommended!!

We drove 25 minutes off route to Philip Island to visit due to their gluten friendly menu. We tried…read morethe GF pumpkin spinach omelette (amazing) and the zucchini corn fritters with salad and tomato relish (superb). We can understand why this place was packed! The cinnamon banana honey milkshake and granola brekky bowl were also eye-bulgers! Servers were attentive and punctual. I especially liked that they brought all meals in concert (at the same time). Cute fox decor and a small pantry section enhanced the atmosphere. Five stars well-earned, my friends.

Even when it is not busy, staff chat among themselves, there is lots of waiting, they forgot my order last time..... apologetic, but when you just want a decent coffee and then dont have time to wait for another one its frustrating.

Great freshness and quality for both dishes. The potions are ample. Very quaint and comfortable with a fireplace for the cold days. No beer or wine when we were there as there are new owners who are in the process of getting a liquor service license. If visiting the area, this is a great place to stop for a tea, coffee or a meal. It is out of town which makes for a very soothing environment.

Nestled amongst the tea shops and clothing stores in Sassafras is a converted old wooden building…read moretrading as "Ripe". We used to come to ripe under the old owners, who departed a couple of years back. Since then my affair with Ripe has dwindled a bit, however I decided to head there for breakfast on my birthday this year. We grabbed a chair at the large share table by the fire, which in a Melbourne June was a very good place in the world to be. Although the menu reads like a bit of an exercise in uppity wordsmithery, the food is what keeps me coming back. As a vegetarian, my choice here is limited, which is a little surprising. However I ordered the Vegetarian platter, and was treated to portions of quiche, a small bowl of soup and other tasty morsels to warm me up. The coffee is always fantastic here, and it's become a tradition of mine to order a boutique beer to have after breakfast, of which they have a small but consistant selection. New owners don't mean a lot of change in terms of the feel and service at Ripe. Both are fantastic, and although our relationship isn't what it used to be, I'm still a fan.

Ended up here because Miss Marple's waiting list was too long. Unfortunately, the extremely slow…read moreservice at the Black Kettle meant that by the time we got our tea, we could have been served at Miss Marple's, even taking into account the waiting list there... Another disappointment was that their advertised specials were no longer available (wipe off the chalkboard then!) and several other items on the menu were not available. I also found the tea to be way too strong, but perhaps that was just a personal preference. All in all, I probably wouldn't go back.
