Having woken up quite late, I was searching for a place for a late lunch. However, everything had already shut at around 3pm in this sleepy town. I passed by this cafe, and although it was listed as shut on Google Maps, the door was open. So I walked in enquiring if they were still serving food, and Harish and his team were kind enough to let me sit in and order their Big Breaky and a Flat White. The food was amazing and so tasty that it took me a mere 30 mins to polish it all off, despite the very generous portions. Special mention to the hash browns, which were fluffy on the inside, crispy on the outside, and not too oily at all. To top it off, they gave me 25% off as their opening month discount (they just opened a month ago). Would highly recommend this place! Thanks again, Harish and his team, for nourishing a very hungry soul today! :)

A great new option in Werribee. I find a lot of cafes around nowadays are a bit on the pretentious side, but sometimes you just want a more "normal" breakfast that doesn't break the bank. The service was also lovely. Would reccomended.

What a very nice cafe, spacious, relaxing, clean and an excellent menu. Getting up at 4.45 a.m. for a 2 1/4 drive to Werribee that was to be followed by 2 trains to Lilydale, I was certainly in need of a coffee and breakfast. The moment I walked inside the lovely young lady greeted me with a smile and warm welcome. Ana was a delight and so helpful, I will definitely be going there again. Thank you Ana and chef for making my start of the day a good one.
