When we are down at the peninsula, we always try and go to this little hidden gem. The coffee is good, great smoothie and the brunch menu delicious. I ordered a side of bacon with my fritters meal and without that it would be a...small meal. We will be backMore

Fantastic food, setting and service. We really enjoyed out meals and would love to go back to try many of the other dishes on the menu and sample some of the baked goods from the front counter. What an absolute gem of a cafe!

Stayed in Dromana for the holidays and found this gem on our first morning. Jim and the staff are fabulous and it's just such a friendly place. The coffee and food are darn good too! We went back every morning till we left.

Amazing breakfasts and coffee. Great staff and wonderful hosts. This place is always buzzing. A must when in Dromana. Everything is thought about from cold water, to availability of different meals to cater for all. My favourite cafe/restaurant in Dromana. Porridge is even on the...menu. Great chilli scramble eggs and one of the best avocado on toast. Keep it up. We will return.More

I ordered the Laneway Benedict with smoked salmon, hash browns and halloumi. The Hollandaise was spot on, loads of it and the capers were a really nice addition We sat outside in the sun, portions were massive and really tasty

It was the most my wife & I have ever spent anywhere on Breakfast for 2 people. We had 1 x Big Breakfast, 1 x Eggs Benedict, 1 x Tea & 1 x Coffee. Total price was almost $80. Wow. The Big Breakfast (a whopping...$32) was supposed to include a Kransky, however it was not on the plate when the waitress delivered our meals to our table. Nothing else has been included as a substitute for it, & there was no mention by the waitress that a key Ingredient was missing from the plate. I didn’t actually notice it missing initially. Interestingly, within the ‘Extras’ section of the menu, a Kransky could be added to a meal at an additional fee of $5:50. As it was missing from my breakfast plate, I would have expected that to be bought to my attention, & my $32 meal to be $5:50 cheaper, but no adjustment or discussion about the price was had. The wait time was also excessive, In fact it was almost 40 minutes by the time the 2 plates of food arrived. Our hot drinks had well & truely been consumed. As the line up to get back to the counter was long, I didn’t bother wasting anymore of my time lining up to discuss the missing Kranksy. As a local couple, we certainly will not be going back to this overpriced cafe again.More

Excellent coffee and food. Efficient service and comfortable quirky environment right opposite the beach. Retro furniture and household goods. Some lovely old guitars to try out. Cakes and pastries were amazing.

I am local to Dromana and this is a good cafe. It’s always busy and the menu has some interesting options. The coffee is quite good and considering how busy it is, the service is quick. But there’s no water offered, no sugar on the...tables, no salt and pepper and no butter with the toast. So it could be better.More

You're told that wait for takeaway coffee might be 15 mins, but it took 50 mins. Unorganised and poorly manged. Mask wearing by staff was occasional at best.
