If you are prepared to fight your way through the tourists this place makes one of the best coffees in the Dandenong Ranges. It can be very difficult to find a carpark at peak times which these days seems most of the time. Disappointingly this restaurant  now  requires you to order and pay at the counter which means that you have to queue for second cups of coffee...a real deterrent -but they have had people walking out without paying  so they had no choice.

If you get there early enough you will be served really delicious scones straight from the oven and if there is not enough cream or jam they will happily oblige with more. A feature in the cake display case are the prize winning Vanilla slices which are so large that you may need to share.

The home made soup, though a little pricey is always tasty and served with plenty of toasted bread. The tasting platter includes a selection of deep fried calamari, spring rolls, chicken etcetera surrounded by a mountain of fresh salad. Yum. The dip platter is best sampled when the chef has included his own creation otherwise it is a bit commercial and bland. The menu is not extensive but pleasantly varied with vegetarian and gluten free options.

It’s fun to sit out on the deck with your coffee, especially in the sunshine and watch the tourists feed the birds. Even with the new Parks regulations it is amazing how many native birds disobey the signs and perch outside the enclosure in clear view. You may even see a lyrebird or an echidna.
