Yarra Ranges Cafe

Very unfriendly staff and service could be much better. I visited the place on my trip last Saturday and felt all the way as I was not welcomed - they asked rudely for my COVID full-vaxx certificate, which I showed. It felt as they hadn't believed I had one. They didn't invite me to come inside even after seeing the certificate so I had to ask for the permission to enter. Food was very standard: not particularly tasty burger and even worse chips. Coffee was colder than it is accepted. It is a place to avoid if you don't want to take a risk of spoiling your weekend.

The food we had was very good - eggs benedict with smoked salmon. Generous serving of smoked salmon and is was very fresh. The coffee was average - a bit weak and milky. Staff were attentive and friendly. The reason I am giving a 2 star review is that the whole place was dirty. The bottle our water came in was dirty, the glasses were dirty, the chairs, table and especially the floor was dirty. For goodness sake, give the whole place a good clean. Include the doors and windows, and wipe the sticky door handle. YUCK!

My friend & I stopped past on the way home from our little adventure out to the redwood forest. Staff were lovely from the moment we stepped foot inside. They allowed us to have my dog out the front, prompt on coffee service also offering alternative milks (coconut cappuccino was delish). My friend and I had the share breakfast and it was amazing- we didn't even manage to get through it but my dog sure did love what we couldn't eat. My friend is allergic to nuts but they were happy to investigate on the granola (which sadly had nuts in it) but other wise delicious and highly recommend.

I've just recently returned to this cafe because the first time I went there 4yrs ago the coffee was awful. I thought I would see if things had improved when the new owners took over. I'm happy to say that the coffee is delicious! I haven't tried any of their food but from what I can see it looks really good. The staff are very friendly and smiley 😁

Lovely food and atmosphere, location is out of the way in Yarra Junction but worth the trip. 4 meals came out together and still hot; my burger had a delicious homemade patty with lovely crispy steak cut chips. Jess put the vegetarian lasagna on the special board specifically for our fathers day luncheon and it was superb. Sit out on the balcony on a nice sunny day and take advantage of the sunshine. Would recommend and will be coming back.

Food is spectacular. The owner is lovely. I would recommend the lemon pie. It is one of the greatest lemon pies I have ever eaten. Definately pop in for a bite to eat if you are in the area or passing through. Or even just drive here as your destination you will not be disappointed. If I could rate more than 5 stars I would.
