Port Albert General Store

This review is based on context. This is a great cafe, it doesn't have much competition but it is trying to be good regardless of the monopoly. fist bump. good soup, sweets'n service. Bad retirement village coffee We had a lamb soup (excellent 9/10) and a roasted beetroot thing (expensive 6/10). The coffees are what we associate with old people (sorry not sorry) they were super hot with foam on top. (we also suspect the machine isn't cleaned from the taste,1/10). Previously we have had the burger 7/10. Look for the meringues and sweets they're on point It has a comfortable open dining area with a small courtyard to the side. The wait staff were attentive and pleasant and the menu is varied if not a little pricey for lunch. $25avg.

I just wanted fish n chips with the kids on the jetty but hubby wanted good coffee so we came here. We were not really dressed that well and had our kids with us, I felt as if the place was a bit too pretentious for me. How wrong was I! The staff were lovely and tried really hard. The decor was an interesting eclectic mix that mostly worked. The food was really yum! I was worried when I saw the prices but honestly it was fine the quality and size made up for it. Cakes looked great, hubby had a giant scone. Glad to report nothing pretentious (well maybe one or two of the customers! and a really good experience.

The food was excellent! We shared a Chicken, pesto, and avocado Focaccia, which was incredibly delicious and absolutely massive—we didn’t even need dinner that night! We also had a lovely pear tart that we saved for our afternoon tea.

The menu offers a wide variety of options, with generous portions and food that's made with care and expertise. They also have a selection of local wines available by the glass—what else could you ask for? Well, we wanted dessert, so we shared a fabulous Eton mess. It’s definitely worth the long drive to this café for a delicious meal served in a warm and welcoming atmosphere, free from any city pretensions.

We've visited this restaurant several times for lunch and have loved every experience. The menu is fantastic, the service is wonderful, and the owner is incredibly friendly. The portions are generous, and the food is delicious. The desserts and coffee are also delightful. I highly recommend dining here!
