From the kitchen
What we're known for
A few of the things guests come back for. Fresh daily, nothing fancy, all worth it.
Scones with Jam and Cream
Baked fresh each morning, served warm with real cream and jam in the true country tradition.
Phillip Island Teas
A curated range of Outback Chef teas made right here on the island, from lemon myrtle to wild lemon grass and ginger.
Focaccia
Soft and substantial, filled with good things, the kind of lunch that holds you through the afternoon walk.
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Displayed in glass jars on the counter, the kind you pick up on impulse and don't regret.
Vegan Wraps
Freshly made with thoughtful ingredients, a genuine option rather than an afterthought.
Muffins
Golden and generous, baked in-house and changing with what is fresh and available.
Cappuccino
Proper espresso coffee made well, with a dusting of chocolate and a little sweet treat on the side.
Rhubarb Cake
The kind of bake that surprises you, quietly excellent and worth the detour on its own.

I came back a second time just for the coffee and the focaccia. The koalas were a bonus.

A surprising range for a small cafe, something for everyone, and at a really affordable price. The vegan wraps are a standout.
