A favourite amongst locals, this café has a very relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Staff are friendly and attentive, and the coffee is wonderful.

The coffee is like warm & the service is slow. The toasted sandwiches we had were probably over a day old. If you let them know you are ignored. My mother was upset by the way the staff spoke to her. We won’t be returning.

We were staying in Dromana for the week and popped into the Blackthorn Cafe for breakfast. It is situated in the local shopping centre. The staff were friendly. I had the omelette with ham and Swiss cheese and my wife had the brunch burger. Both...meals were very tasty. The only criticism we had were that our cappuccino and hot chocolate were not hot enough. I would definitely have breakfast here again.More

We dined as a family today and have to say this is a great little place. One thing I noticed that was encouraging was they had 6 or so young workers which is great for local employment. The food was very honest and good serves...with some imagination on the menu.More
