"Came in for some lunch, haven’t been in for many years (well over 8 years) it’s newly decorated which looks modern and has a lot of local history within the art dotted around. You pay before your food arrives which is fine my main issue was the portion size for money as well as taste and the products used. My chips curry had a spoon full of watery tasteless curry on it. My panini was definitely not what I was looking forward to the chicken inside was cold and the peppercorn sauce would’ve burnt the mouth of you (literally did) and my wife had the macaroni and chips she said it was absolutely tasteless no seasonings through it nothing, and again for a “main meal” which was ordered off the menu stating this it was a very small portion for the price. Nicest thing we had was the Fanta orange vimto which is called the David Bowie drink. Overall a very disappointing visit very small portions for the price unfortunately the food is a huge let down. I won’t be back. It’s a shame as the cafe itself is small but well decorated and has a lot of history within the town."

Good old fashioned cafe with great menu choice. Service and food super. Allows dogs to. Great lunch and ice cream for the dog. Reasonably priced too. Definately be back. Recommend the cheeseburger.

I asked the waitress what was in the soup and she rhymed off the ingredients instantly, then came back with the recipe to confirm, she couldn't be more helpful, excellent service and the soup was delicious. View menu

Lovely staff, so very friendly and makes such a difference. I had a bacon roll and mug of tea. Couldn’t fault either and if I had more time I’d have loved to try the home baking. Just bought a holiday home near here so this will become a regular haunt for me.. looking forward to trying the breakfast it looks great.

We came to Melbournes for breakfast before getting the Ferry to Arran this morning. It was delicious, food came out quickly and all 8 of us enjoyed the food. Staff were friendly and even gave our dog a treat and put out water for him. Hash browns were forgotten on my order but the staff quickly fixed it. Lovely experience and good breakfast

Had an hour to spare before playing golf , went to the Melbourne enjoyed our coffee with fresh milk and roll in slice with onion. Prices are reasonable and the place is spotless This must be one of the oldest Cafes in the west coast was remembering visiting this place in the 70s during my youth The owners keep the place modern and welcoming so would visit again View menu

This cafe serves very nice food at a not overly expensive price and the decor is very good with a great history behind the cafe. However when the cafe is busy they seemed to get overwhelmed very easily and can’t cope with all the tables being full. Your order arrives bit by bit so when some in your group are finishing your meal the others are just getting served and this is at one table. Coffee and drinks don’t arrive till after everyone has finished their food. Coffee was also cold. A great wee venue if they could improve on the poor service. Staff are actually very nice and polite but slow and don’t always bring items over when asked. Requires someone to organise the staff better and it co...

A long dog walk and usual coffee stop closed. Very busy on a Sunday but was nice day. Lots staff but we waited at sign which says wait here and nothing. Eventually I went to till and asked if we could sit. Ordered coffees and joined a table which didn't mind us sticking on end. We did have couple of dogs and I guess we picked wrong day to try as it was super busy and take away. Coffee was nice but food looked basic but guess lots of people just want basic food. Lots staff but it probably could have been less chaotic as they all looked bit harassed and bothered although the girl I ordered etc from was polite. Nothing really wrong with this place but seems too popular with regulars so I likely...

"We were a party of 5, on a cold, very wet Saturday evening, coldest so far I would say! We drew up and saw a young family of 3 sitting with jackets on in the conservatory area, we were a bit concerned! We took a...seat at the back of the conservatory which proved to be a big mistake! There was a terrible draught coming from behind me, I did mention it and was told it was 27c at the middle of the room, but not where we were sitting!! I mentioned it a few times and sat with my shawl scarf on throughout! I pulled down the window blinds hoping that would help, nope!! We ordered our food, I asked about a vegetarian option for my husband, our waitress did say he could a veggie option on the curry and the tempura or risotto, which was helpful! I had to ask what was the soup of the day and also the pate!! I did feel that maybe in this day and age there should have been a small dedicated vegetarian area on the menu, but that’s just my opinion! 3 of our party had starters which were great, Cullen skink, scallops and langoustine tempura, Main courses arrived, 3 fish and chips, one lemon soul and one veggie tempura, all were excellent except for the veggie tempura which was large shards of onion and carrot in an albeit lovely batter, but not all vegetarians like huge chunks of vegetables! 4 of our party had a sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream, which was plentiful! Overall we had a pleasant meal, little or no atmosphere though, one of the younger waitresses (white shirt, black skirt) was friendly and more talkative, the waitress (dressed all in black)who served us was, we all felt a little disinterested and lacked any empathy with the guests! We asked for our bill, the youngest waitress came with the card machine and felt how cold it was only then did she check the windows to find there was one opened, hence the draught, which spoiled our visit because we were felling it cold!! We paid the bill and left a tip on the plate, no one came to say thank you for you custom, or have a nice evening, nothing!! All in all it was pretty inhospitable! Value you for money, it was good for the standard of the food!"
