On mini-cation to Halls Gap & limited dining options I tried out Livefast Cafe for breakfast. Venturing outside my usual comfort zone of poached eggs I opted for the breakfast special of smoked salmon, Cajun spiced field mushroom, cherry tomatoes, spinach with a lemon/sweet paprika sour cream sauce & thankfully a poached egg on sourdough. What I was presented with was a slightly confused looking plate of food. Sadly the only element I enjoyed was the poached egg & sourdough. Whilst each of the components might have worked individually together it was just a mess in both terms of presentation & flavours. Just goes to show that sometimes you should just stick with what you know. The service was friendly & efficient, that said I was one of only 5 customers at the time, so that should be a given. $20 for the brekkie & a mug of coffee was probably about the right price but when the quality is poor you always feel a little cheated about the price you've paid!!! read more

Went here twice with a group of girlfriends over the weekend. First time we just picked up some snacks and coffee before a hike. Second time we ate lunch before leaving halls gap. Both times we received great food but questionable service. Highlights were definitely the milkshakes, chicken burger & lamb salad. But you wouldn't want to be in a rush to get anywhere. Service was slow and not exactly friendly. Lucky their food was so delicious. read more

Love a socially responsible cafe, full of good vibes and good looking food. A great find during our weekend away from civilisation. The cafe area has a melbourne-ish feel to it. The rough wooden benches and shelves hold usual Melbourne Cafe items such as KeepCups, Mt Zero olives and a few local gourmet treats that are worth taking home. The natural surroundings of the Grampians play a big part in how this little space is set up. Big open windows look out on the flowing creek. Wooden light fittings remind you that you are surrounded by native trees. Visiting on Sunday of Queens birthday weekend, the staff are really under the pump. Despite a few frowns as they rush between tables, they are a friendly and happy bunch! Worth popping in for a coffee or two when your down this way. read more

Surprised to have such good coffee, cake and brunch in the depth of the forest of Grampians. The coffee, jaffa cake, avocado smash and bacon and eggs were yum! Lovely staff too. Would certainly come here again next time we visit Grampians. read more

Livefast Lifestyle Cafe - Surprised to have nice coffee and breakfast in the depth of the forest. Would certainly come back for brunch next visit! - Restaurants Near Me - Halls Gap, VIC

I quite enjoyed this cute cafe but the water tasted a bit off, like it was stale. I ordered the Banana milkshake and a Cheese Toasty from the kids menu. The banana milkshake was very nice but quite sweet so if you have a sweet tooth this beverage should be perfect for you. The cheese toasty was actually quite tasty even though the bread was quite thin i still enjoyed it. Next time i'm in town i look forward to enjoying another delicious meal at this establishment. read more

While in visiting the beautiful Grampians, staying at Halls Gap the last thing I expected was to stumble across this gem. On our many visits over the weekend we had beautiful coffee every time. They were piping hot on the cool mornings and the soy latte was up there with the best. When the days heated up staff were happy to oblige with a long black on ice with no fuss, which is a request regularly that throws some. For eats eggs Benedict and the poached eggs with smashed avocado were served fast, hot and well presented. And absolutely delicious. During peak times lines and waits were a little longer, but staff were are quick as could be and food still came out in acceptable time. If you're looking for for well made, well presented, delicious everything you gotta Livefast! read more

Went there twice and was pretty disappointed both times. First time I had one of the special for breakfast, omelette with Spanish chorizo, onions and another tasteless ingredient which I don't remember. Thank god I had salt on the table so at least I could taste salt. Long black coffee was ok and the service relatively quick (I was the only one there) Worst part : they added some muffins on the counter before I left and I must say they looked pretty good so I took one to take away. Never in my life have I not finished a muffin that I started. Before then. It was absolutely awful. Texture, taste, I think it was made 90% with baking powder, I really couldn't feel anything else it was disgusting. And I insist : disgusting. Second time (since you don't have a lot of options in Halls gap for an early breakfast) I had some pancakes with bananas on top. They were ok but covered with honey. I have my pancakes with maple syrup since I'm not a big fan of honey but no one asked me if I wanted honey. Anyway. Had a mocha to go with it and it was pretty good, maybe the reason why I give a second star. And for the service. At least they have that. But seriously, get another "chef" read more

Great brunch experience. Shame for the narrow space that combined with the counter at the opposite end make it quite jammed when full read more

Good fold, but waited 55 minutes on a burger with fries. The people who ordered after me got their food before me

The only place open before 8am. Great easy breakfast. Eggs on toast poached perfectly and a hand made hash brown. If you are stopping in Halls Gap definitely get in for some good food and the best coffee in the area. read more

We visited this tasty cafe for breakfast several times during our stay. We found the coffee to be tasty and had yummy, hearty breakfasts. They had a tasty vegetarian special when we were there as well. Service was pleasant. They also had some nice options for souvenirs. read more

This was an amazing place. It was empty when we went in and filled by the time we left. My sister was visiting and wanted to try Kangaroo - she loved it. I had leeks & potato soup, perfect. We had my niece who loved the kids options and my husband who must have gluten free - they nailed it with a fish dish. The staff was accommodating and super pleasant. I highly recommend this small, unique, cafe. read more
