Why didn't I take photo? Why? Far out. Ok. Just please believe what I will tell you. Coffee and fresh juices -excellent. I would say better selection than most other inner city cafe. Lunch- I had beautiful salsa with corn fritters ( bacon optional) value for money-5, taste-5 not oily or dense at all, tasty, sexy, just scrumptious!!!!!! Snacks- peanut butter bliss ball. Yes nuff said Cake- you know those orange cakes with edible flowers on top. Yes they have lots of those and all their friends too. I am talking bout a good 20 selection of beautiful fresh and delicate looking cakes. Not your local deli sponge cake or frozen cheesecake. No siree What else - how about fresh baked baguettes and bread, house made cookies and biscuits??? Don't forget the small selection of foodie things on their shelf that you can buy . Honey, preserves. Ohmygatrrtrrdfddd Someone tell them they are seriously undercharging. Awesome food awesome chef awesome everything!

The coffee was lovely. Very nicely made and delightfully creamy. The tea was also excellent and extremely generous - three cups to a pot. The homemade health slice was superb.

Service was very friendly and most efficient. This is a lovely innovative sort of place. The type of place that tends to prove that free markets work by giving people what they want. Cafe La Hoot wouldn't be at all out of place in hipsterville Melbourne and we'll definitely return here very soon.

There is also a selection of pantry items and homemade Xmas puds in December. Plenty of seating both indoor and out, as well as clean bathrooms which you come to appreciate when you are on country trips. Prices are reasonable given the quality of the food. The only thing holding this bakery back is the staff. I have been here at least 10 times and am yet to receive a smile, a hello or a goodbye. Suffice to say, take away is my recommendation.

Yep, that place was Brocky's, and to say that they served a pretty decent breakfast is an understatement. I even broke from my routine of simply having bacon and eggs and dived in for a pancake and I must say I was pleasantly rewarded. Those pancakes were magnificent. My friend ended up having the poached eggs, but I really couldn't get any more than 'yep, there good' out of him (though if they weren't I would have been sure to hear about it). Oh, and they also gave us a massive pot of tea with a side of water, with made the fact that they had simply dumped the tea leaves into the pot not as annoying as it normally is. This is definitely a place that I would recommend to people down this way.

I was only passing through Warrnambool, but needed a proper cafe breakfast. We randomly picked…read moreBrockys because it was open, and it looked nice. Very comfy inside. There's a case of inviting looking pastries and sandwiches, and a large room with plenty of small tables. At the back are more loungey spaces. The whole place just yells "breakfast", although perhaps if I'd stopped by at noon it would have screamed "lunch" as well. You don't feel crowded, though: the place is quite large, with high ceilings, and you're not packed in like some breakfast cafe nooks are. The ladies running the show were friendly, took our order, and promptly brought out some tasty coffees and a great brekkie. I had a big bowl of baked beans with smoked ham and a slice of toast (one of my favourites); they had a few types of beans in there, mixing things up. My wife had mushrooms on toast - in fact, one giant, grilled mushroom cap, which she reported as being quite good. If you find yourself on the west end of the Great Ocean Road you could do a lot worse for breakfast.

I didn't feel that there were as many gluten-free items as some other nearby places offered. Overall rating: *****FIVE STARS***** Gluten-free rating: ***THREE STARS***

Anyway, because of the recommendation I decided to go and check it out, and yeah, I have to admit that I was quite impressed. Mind you, due to the number of people here, it was ages before my tea arrived, which was a little disappointing, but it did turn out to be a quite nice pot of tea, so I guess all is forgiven. Yeah, this place was nice.
