It was quite busy when we were there and there are a range of places to sit both inside and out.

They also provide a range of children's meal as well The meals were large in size and I would recommend it if you're passing by. Not necessarily somewhere you'd make a special trip too, but lovely all the same. Happy eating.

Great hearty breakfast until 2pm and a wide selection of lunch items including savoury pastries and sweets. The coffee is a mild roast which won't necessarily suit the hard-nosed coffee drinkers, but goes well with the café menu. Kitchen is clean, service is pleasant and the place has a nice vibe. The toilets are also modern and clean. Given you don't have a lot of choice within walking distance of this place, it's a good thing they're not lazy here.

Pre-Review Disclaimer! I came here at 9:30am (Opening Time) for breakfast OFF SEASON, but noticed…read moretheir lunch menu looked far more promising. !! If you're coming here in the 'on' season, you might be treated to a simplistic buffet breakfast of Scrambled eggs & a few sides. !! Went on a lovely long walk early in the morning and wound up at Sorrento's beautiful little back beach, right as the All Smiles was opening shop. We chose to sit in the enclosed balcony, because we were the only customers they had - and MAN, the views were ASTONISHINGLY beautiful. We were so excited for breakfast by the beach, it was gonna be a wonderful start to the morning. Except All Smiles doesn't serve breakfast, not really. Not unless you'd count Mousse or Apple Crumble as breakfast, or a Chicken Avocado Focaccia. The menu was very restrictive, and felt like it was aimed at your 76 year old local nanna who likes scones and tea for breakfast - a real juxtaposition to the general atmosphere of the cafe, which is modern and spacious. The scones were in the process of being made when we arrived, which was both exciting (fresh, hot scones! Hells yeah!) and disappointing, because of the 40 minute wait. All Smiles really was not expecting customers so early, it seemed. That said, the staff (or the few that were there) were attentive and friendly, apologising for the wait for several of their menu options (no chicken until the afternoon, so no focaccia, scones aren't done, please wait, yada yada) - but since I'm a reasonably patient person who likes to stare off into the distance with a vague, sleepy expression on their face, I was pretty happy just watching the surf and sipping my latte (it was a good latte.) When the food DID get to the table, I was so glad we ordered the scones, wait or no. They were piping hot, the cream was thick and sweet, and the raspberry jam was tart and delicious. The Egg&Bacon Turkish focaccia looked great, and the Apple crumble was impressive. My only qualm? It's not breakfast food! If you're not gonna offer at least an egg on toast, I don't REALLY see the point of offering desserts as a replacement. Maybe I'm weird, though. To repeat what I said first though, this was just the "breakfast" menu. I did snatch a peek at the lunch menu, which looked much more promising, with curries and soups on it. All Smiles just doesn't really do the breakfast thing - but if you're like Marie Antoinette, and think cake makes a suitable meal, this is the brunch spot for you.

My husband and I had our wedding reception here as a cocktail-style event. They offered a winter…read morespecial for discounted drinks. It was a big risk for us to host an event at the beach during a Melbourne winter but we got super lucky and we had clear blue skies in the afternoon and a gorgeous night sky by the end. The venue size was just right for our approximately 100 people. We had a live band in one side (note that it was a bit too loud with the concrete flooring!), along with a large projection screen and projector set up (which we brought ourselves because their only equipment were a speaker and a microphone). The inside was quite warm with a roaring fireplace, which balanced the temperature of the open patio with the chill night air. My husband and I arrived half an hour before our guests and that was enough time to set up the cake and entertainment equipment. We were greeted by Cat, who took great care of us throughout the evening. She showed us our private room which had a large mirror, some seating, and complementary champagne and chocolate! Food was served throughout the evening, in addition to some grapes, cheese, and crackers displayed around the room. The open bar was a sure hit. Overall, we thought it was a great selection and people felt well-fed by the end. The staff gave extra care to those who were vegetarian, being sure to point out which items were suitable. The only thing we would do differently if we were to host another cocktail-style reception is ask the staff to bring out food more quickly in the beginning and taper off near the end, rather than spread it out throughout the 5 hours we were there. That way, people who had to leave early wouldn't go hungry. The staff were diligent in keeping the place clean throughout the night, since there was no noticeable rubbish bin. By the end, even though they worked all day cooking and night serving, they were still kind and helpful as we left. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone else who might want to have a beachside reception!

This has been on my burger hit list for some time now. ever since it came on the burger radars of…read morethe GFG n Burger Adventures... and finally tonight the planets aligned... the dandy pav is on the site of the old pancake parlour .. similar setup to hogs in decor and feel. Competition is tough but when ur named the best!! I had to try it .. from their separate burger menu I decided to go with the Giro.. Beef patty, melted swiss cheese, braised lamb with truffle mayonnaise. the General sounded too heavy and the Tsar.. well will give it a go next time.. The burger was fantastic! Juicy meat and with the right amount of melted cheese (this got a bit too much for me near the end). very nice touch to have small pickles served on the side.. in case needed to balance out the heavy combo of an all meat burger served with cheese and mayo. For the meat lover this is the one! I don't think there is a signature burger here but will def try the Tsar next time... Anyhoooo... was it that good to deserve the #1 slot ??? IMHO and YMMV... a gd burger it is but I would probably only come back only to try the other burger to give it a go. The Giro is boring and uninspiring. I was expecting a "wow" factor from the #1 but it lacked complexity in flavour and the heavy cheese mayo sauce drowned out everything. It took away the taste and flavour of what was a very good patty! In one word "forgettable". In writing this I am convincing myself that I ordered the wrong burger or that my expectations too high for melb's #1? Still I'd rate the Chew Burger as the best burger and Laurie Dee's #2. May revisit dandy pav to try the Tsar. But on tonight's forgettable burger choice alone .. nah .. and again this is my opinion only. give this joint a go and make up ur own mind :)

All their sandwiches and rolls are made fresh in front of you with your choice of bread as they bake it themselves. One downside is they don't have any gluten free bread.
