We dropped in here for breakfast, the waitress who came to our table was very nice, we ordered and…read moremy wife wanted scrambled eggs, but instead of normal toast, wanted fruit toast and asked that the fruit toast be on a separate plate on the side. Well you guessed it, the scrambled eggs were delivered not as ordered but on top of the fruit toast. Who in their right mind would put the scrambled eggs on top of fruit toast? Ever after it was specified on the side. Well you might think that mistakes happen, and you would be right, so my wife went up to the counter to point out the error and spoke to a senior employee, pointing out the error, she huffed and snatched the plate without even apologizing. Well eventually her breakfast came out, the same senior staff member huffed and said "Is everything alright now?" We said yes, and would you believe it she then said "Thank God". How incredibly rude, when travelling you really don't need such an attitude, plenty of pleasant places to eat without an attitude. Won't be going there again.

Newly renovated and hipster cafe/foodstore located in the main shopping hub of Jan Juc. So new…read morethat the old Swell next door is still upstanding and looking very unloved. Someone has taken some serious time out to design the feel of this place. Loving rolling ceiling, soft lights and lots of natural light flowing in. The service here is fairly hispter. Lots of casual, well sun bathed staff who are generally rather helpful and happy. The cafe is spilt into three sections. Large seating, small foodstore and a deli style display cabinet/juice bar. The foodstore doesn't hold much. Usual coffee, tea, sweets, vegan prepackaged food and fresh veges. The menu here is short and sweet. Boasting a bountiful brunch style menu. The burgers are huge. Ridiculously large. One member of our party couldn't finish her vegetarian burger. There's no fries on the side, and all for good reason. I was mildly sadden by my chorizo and bean dish. It was tasty and had a perfectly poached egg on top. It was rather on the bean dry side of life. I'm not sure were the capsicum/tomato sauce was meant to be. If it hadn't been for this small sadness it would have easily been a 5 star venue! Drinks wise I was super impressed. The mango frappe I had was utterly divine. The OG beans used in the coffee equally as impressive.

The staff here are extremely relaxed, friendly and helpful. One side of the shop is a cute surfer cafe with great coffee and some interesting surf wear and the other side is the ocean toys hire. It's the perfect combination. Coffee and surf board. Within 10mins I had my board, a basic how-to-do-it 101 and an offer of a hot shower when I returned. Win-Win. The returning of gear is really easy. No doubt that the next time I need to hire gear I'll be coming back here!

We turned off The Great Ocean Road to a crowd just outside the cafe. It turned out that there are…read moredozens of beautiful birds that will come up to you if you feed it seeds (which you can buy inside the cafe). We didn't buy any seeds and had enough fun just watching other people playing with the birds. I had read that Grey River Road is a good place for wild koala sightings so we got back into our car and headed up the road. The car behind us was in a rush and we decided to let it pass. That car drove up the hill so fast that it ran over one of the beautiful birds that had been sitting on someone's shoulder just a few minutes before. All of the bystanders and us were in shock! The car didn't stop at all and kept driving up the road. After recovering the traumatic death of the bird, we pulled over to the side of the road and watched a coupe of koalas climb trees. They are such natural climbers!

The lattes we got were really good to, we had them at the outside seating with a tasty vanilla slice. A great stop if you're doing the Great Ocean Road because you can buy bird seed from them (as well as a variety of other dry goods) and feed the many birds (cockatoos, parrots and more) in the immediate area right out of your hand. There are also several resident koalas high in the eucalyptus trees on the adjacent dirt road.
