Homemade food, beach nearby

Open every day from 8 AM. Handmade pies, proper coffee, and a vanilla slice people drive from the city for.

The space

A few of the regulars — the dishes and drinks that bring people back, and occasionally, from quite far away.

Thick custard, proper pastry, no fuss — the reason half the room drove here.

Poached eggs, avocado, bacon, hash brown, microgreens on sourdough — the full morning spread.

Crispy fried fish in soft tacos with pico de gallo and chipotle cream — a table order.

Made in-house, slow-cooked, and according to at least one reviewer, the best in Melbourne.

Golden crumbed fillets with chips, garden salad, and a ramekin of tartare.

Consistent, serious, served in handmade speckled mugs.

Crumbed fresh with a hint of curry powder, served hot in a soft roll.

Poached eggs and bacon on sourdough, done properly.

Baked fresh, glazed, and gone by early afternoon most days.

With edible flowers, halloumi, beetroot hummus, and a poached egg on top.

Crumbly, moist meatloaf filling in thin pastry — the kind that changes your opinion of sausage rolls.

With toasted sourdough and butter, served on a tray outside when the weather calls for it.

8 AM to 5 PM, seven days. Free parking behind the building, outdoor seating, dogs welcome.
