Their home made breads are great and the freshly made to order salad rolls give you that home made feel. Run by a husband and wife always willing to have a chat and make sure you are happy with what you have ordered. Highly recommended

My husband & I were walking along Piper St, Kyneton this morning just before noon looking for…read moresomewhere to grab a coffee & a bite to eat. I'd heard that there were plenty of restaurants to choose from along Piper St & there were, but a bakery, the Little Swallow Cafe & one other eatery were the only places open on a Monday morning. So we found ourselves at the Little Swallow Cafe. It's a lovely little cafe, with a good breakfast / brunch menu. Not so many options that you feel overwhelmed by the menu but still plenty to choose from. Both of us were very happy with how our eggs were done, & we shared a sourdough toasty, yummy all round. I enjoyed my coffee & although my husband grumbled about the "girly" cup his tea was served in, I thought the mixed cup & saucer (local op shop finds I guess) served on a pretty little tray were a nice touch! Overall a recommend cafe for breakfast or a coffee to go.

Quaint cute little cafe tucked away just enough off the busy main street to offer a relaxed and comfortable cafe opportunity outside the city. Food and coffee were both wonderful, and anyone in the area or passing through would be well advised to stop by. I'm really glad I did.

Going out for a bite with my extended family is like flash mobbing a coffee shop. All of a sudden…read moreit's full of people and the staff don't know what's going on. We were down in Daylesford - spa town and lesbian capital of Australia, in your face Broken Hill - for a wedding this weekend last and it was late in the arvo and we just piled into the Himalaya, cousins and aunts and drunk uncles, sisters and nephews and brothers, pouring into the place like a a bunch of clowns pour out of a tiny car that couldn't possibly hold the number of clowns that come out of it. We got in just before the kitchen closed, and the food and drinks were all kinds of great. It's simple fare but done exceptionally well, with a vegetarian and vegan kind of twist - no meat, organic ingredients. My fetta-filled bruschetta was colossal, a real giant-killer both in size and taste, I also helped people finish off their burnt caramel shakes, marinated tofu salads, and eggplant and ricotta toasties. Delicious, all of it. And healthy, which is important considering the amount of drinking we were about to do.

The crockery and cutlery were dirty. Someone else's pie was on the plate, knife, and fork I was given. On the second visit, I decided to take-away. The girl behind the counter handled cash with her bare hands while serving the customer before me. When I ordered a cold pie to take home, she took it from the fridge with those same hands and then proceeded to cough into them. I threw the pie away when I got home as I wasn't keen on catching whatever she had. Disappointing.
