    A somewhat hidden cafe next to KFC in the Marsh that has the sweetest staff…read more 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.

    There are rumours abound that Bacchus Marsh has a dearth of decent coffee shops and modern menus…read more 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.

    From the moment we walked in to this cute little cafe we felt so welcomed. Janine who I believe is…read morethe owner was so very welcoming and could see we were travelers from out of the country from our accents of course. She then offered us a table and told us to come back to the counter once we were ready to order, take our time and enjoy our stay. When I went to order our breakfast the conversation was like being part of the family. She asked questions about our day, travels and several about my daughter. Our meal was lovely, hot, and followed with great service. As we were leaving she was so kind and sent my daughter off with a meat pie for her to enjoy later. What a great welcome to the area.

    No stars if I could. Not sure what has happened but this place used to be lovely. My partner ended…read moreup in hospital with suspected food poisoning. We didn't want to point the finger at the time to The Flour Pot, as it could have been caused by something else he ate that day, and other times the staff had been so lovely, so we left it at that. Fast forward a few months and we thought we'd give it another crack. Big Mistake. We sat outside... nothing. So partner went in to grab a couple of menus. There was nothing on any of the outside tables (salt/pepper, napkins etc) went in to order, and asked if we could please get salt and pepper etc for the table - only to be rudely told that 'those things are ALREADY on the tables'. Food comes out. Ordered the 'whiting' fillet. It was a square fillet, looking like it came from a supermarket. It was the most revolting fish I've ever tried. It tasted like old fish skin, and there was a weird gluey substance between the crumbed covering and the 'meat' which was dry. I was hungry so I tried slathering it with tartare....except the tartare had the oddest tang to it, and not in a happy way. The chips were dry and cold, so I ate the salad and left it at that. Will not be going back.
