Coffee has become part of a daily routine for so many of us and we are proud to have Coffee Mio as our supplier of choice – of course, every cup being made with a whole lotta love.

So, if you are planning a trip to our beautiful backyard on the Mornington Peninsula and looking for a change of pace from Mornington Main Street – imagine this…. A bustling, red brick café, light streaming in through the floor to ceiling glass sliding doors overlooking the lawn.

And if you can’t decide on just one dish from our menu try our house speciality Breakfast Tower to sample a selection.

We are now open for dinner on Friday nights!

Our menu has been designed by our Chef to showcase his passion, being a touch of Italy and his specialty, is of course, house made pasta.

The menu will change weekly, so for updates, please keep your eye on our social media platforms.

VIEW THIS FRIDAY'S DINNER MENU

Spacious indoor and outdoor relaxed seating areas to enjoy our food & coffee.

Pooches welcome (on a lead of course!) and room for the kids to run on the grass.

House Specialty – our popular Breakfast Tower.

Fresh local produce – all grown on site.

We are a little different here, (in more ways than one!) providing weekday workers and tradies convenience and access to grab a coffee or a bite on the run and a more chilled relaxed weekend approach for all day brunch or a wine while lazing on the lawn.

And don’t forget to grab your fresh local produce – hydroponic lettuce, herbs and tomatoes grown on site, free range eggs, Baker Boys breads, take away lasagnes, sauces and Italian groceries before you head home.
