This cafe was nice, but in a way it really wasn't all that outstanding. I did find that the service…read morewas rather good, so I guess that is something that should be noted. I really only came in here for a pot of tea, namely because we also needed to get out of the car and have a bit of a stretch (and my brother was a but hungry as well). Anyway, this did appear to be the only place that stood out, and they did serve us, even though closing time was coming up, so I'll give them points for that as well.

Popped in real quick for a bite while on a tour of Australia's southern coast. Mostly outdoor…read moreseating and super casual atmosphere. Coffees and sweets inside and crowded with a mix of locals and tourists. Ready to order and leaning towards a big, juicy burger but the manager and waiter both ranted and raved about their special, The wild Atlantic Salmon on a fresh salad. I desperately wanted to give the salmon a 5 Star, but when you enjoy the salad more than the salmon then you know something isn't quite right with the fish. #undercooked. I had to send it back to cook longer. I really was gonna get a burger. A bit disappointed but you can't win em all. Still enjoyed the meal though and service was friendly and they were apologetic.. And that goes a long way with me.

Stopped by for a quick lunch on the way to Great Ocean Road day trip. It was hard finding a…read moreparking spot but we went around a couple times and got a spot right in front of the cafe. Turkey sandwich was nicely toasted and porched eggs were perfrctly cooked. The hollandaise sauce was excellent as well. It would be nice to have a bed of green on the plate tho. Milk shake was super thick FYI. Workers are nice and it had a nice ambiance. If you are nearby, it it worth trying this place.

Cute cafe in Lorne! My friend and I stopped by to grab a meal. They were out of the reuben so I got…read morethe Morrocan lamb ciabbata. Mega win. It was delicious! They also have a really fun smoothie and juice selection!

Formerly ARAB Espresso Bar, it has new owners and the food and service is excellent. I had the…read moreGarden Green Salad with Chicken. It was fresh and the chicken well cooked. My son had the Pepperoni Pizza. The pizza has a thin base with just the right balance of ingredients. I would definately recommend this cafe/restaurant! The service was excellent too. Food was fast too come out and although at first not having the drinks that we wanted, when they found some in the fridge out the back they gave one to my son for free! We'll be coming back!

It is cool how some of these places are setting up outdoor areas for non-smokers. It means that…read morethey can enjoy a good cup of coffee (or tea) outside on a nice day without having to worry about smoke drifting everywhere. This is one of those places that has an outdoor area to the side and all of the smokers are relegated to the tables out the front. It was quite crowded when I came here, but that was during the Easter break, so I was not at all surprised. However they did make a decent cup of tea (though since I like more than one satchell of sugar I had to go and get some more). They also have breakfast until 11:00 am, though since I had already eaten previously, I didn't take up the offer.

One of the worst chicken nugget experiences ever. You would think a chicken shack would have good…read morechicken nuggets, instead they were low quality frozen nuggets. The inside looked like a sponge of processed whatever. I paid $9.00 for 6 nuggets and a sweet and sour sauce. I could have bought fresh meat for less than that. Really disappointing. We were planning to eat here a few times just based on the name but thankfully we learned early not to return. Why oh why didn't I read the reviews first?

And absolute disaster.... Asked the person taking the orders a question about the sizing of…read moresomething and was told a number then recieved half the amount i was told. Also ordered chips based on the sizing suggestions displayed on the wall and also received nothing anywhere near the portion size advertised. When questioning the owner about the discrepancies in meal siting i also politely asked about being charged several dollars over what was on the menu displayed outside to what was on the board inside and was subsequently told to get out in front of a que of other customers.. horrible owner with a horrible attitude towards customers. You would think trying to support a local business who have being doing it tough during covid times with your dollars would be met more welcomely than what was served up to myself and my family tonight. Sadly reading the reviews of this place and the previous behaviour of the owner i should have expected exactly what we got. Will happily spend my money elsewhere in town where it's appreciated. Would NOT recommend. EVER

I've only tried breakfasts, which are delicious! Perfect eggs, great toast, great avocado. This place does things well.

We asked them to fix this, when we got the food back 15 mins later we were shocked to see what we had just paid $50 for. Two pieces of toast, some cooked spinach with no seasoning, "homemade baked beans" that were just canned beans in no sauce and there was about a spoonful of them, half of a grilled tomato each some cold mushrooms, cold has browns and some fresh spinach with balsamic on it. $50 .... I am gobsmacked to say the least.

Maybe Kafe Kaos should stick to coffee, because that was the highlight of this meal. I ordered a…read moresteak sandwich, and although the concept is nice, the meat is sinewy, flavorless and there is no way one can handle it with any sort of grace. My dining partner's eggs Florentine looked a bit lacking (although the BLAT - bacon, lettuce, avo, tomato - did look rather tasty). Best part of this venue is the people/puppy watching factor. So I recommend grabbing a coffee, seating yourself at the window or outside, and doing just that.
