"Just driving back to melb looking for lunch, unexpectedly found this great place tucked in behind the trees. Great coffee, cakes & lunch sitting on the rustic benches under the umbrellas. Even joined by the lovely old dog. I think by the time we finished every local trades & local had bought lunch."

"Perfect break along the rail trail. Sent a package and it was there when I arrived. Loved the coffee and selection of snacks. The girls were very helpful with sending a package back for me also."

"We stopped by on Christmas day, very glad they were open. The staff member was extremely nice and helpful. Great options available. We tried the frozen yoghurt which was pre prepared but they were nice. Also tried the special local lemon drink."

"I'm a little biased but ... I often visit as the cafe is also my post service. They are also my friends, so be nice please They make great coffee (see photo) Magnificent sandwiches, the Reuben is a favourite of mine. Named more after the artist Peter Paul more than than Reuben Kulakofsky as it's a piece of art more than a couple of bits of bread with random stuff in it. The sausage rolls are made with proper puff pastry rather than the seed oil filled stuff. Home made dim sins (Freudian slip intended ) and the list goes on. Sonya closes at 3 as she starts very early and has lots to do after work. It's also in the prettiest valley this side of Bermuda triangle, (slight exaggeration.. but see photo and you may agree) So visit, grab some lovely food , coffee ( they have a cracking 4 shit extra large .. oh... I nearly forgot, the vanilla slice is , well you just try one! No exaggeration, it's magnificent!! Then visit the cherry place up the road, get some natural soap from Dindi naturals, have a couple of drinks at the pub, then explore the local area, wonderful views everywhere. All the best and giddy up Rob"

"I was passing by and felt so hungry, so I ordered the red smoothie. It was so good and had no sugar at all. The staff were so nice and friendly—it totally made my day!"

"Best Dim Sims in Australia! Great range of yummy, home cooked food. Vanilla slice is amazing too. Perfect spot to pull over when driving through but unfortunately their open hours can be a little unreliable (can expect that in the country though). Their cute old working dog will greet you and help you finish any leftovers too, extra points for this :)"

"finally, decent food in this part of the world! impressive menu, very friendly and strange looking staff as advertised, a very nice rustic fit out and relaxed atmosphere. good to hangout in the tree filled outdoor seating area when weather is not scorching. but please, please improve on coffee and use a better quality milk!"

"You have to stop at The Giddy Goat for a salad sandwich and a cup of the best ever mulberry yoghurt. All the food looked fantastic and the lady running the cafe was lovely. Yarck may not look like much but it’s a must stop in country Victoria."
