    Scones and a BLAT 🥧🍓🍦🥪 Scones were good but they sold out of the food raspberry jam and gave me the too sweet cheap jam instead for the same price.

    Very much worth visiting as a destination brunch cafe for the atmosphere alone; dining basically alfresco surrounded by the animals and veggies really adds to the experience. We arrived early and were welcomed with friendly service. Coffee was perfectly good. Most of the menu steers towards "health-conscious" but it still packs plenty of flavour! A little freaked to find my breakfast salad garnish had dirty big flecks of soil through it at the end however. More washing next time please!

    Great place to get coffee and snack particularly on a nice walk or ride along the river. Most of the food is very good, I really like the kimchi scrambled eggs. The coffee is hit and miss, very inconsistent temperature (mainly cold). The baked goods can also be hit and miss - can be hard to find or taste the main flavour advertised! The service is friendly and helpful - and even with a few mishaps with items they were quick to fix the issues!

    What a great place to feel warm while still experiencing the season! I have been to The Farm Cafe a few times lately for coffee and snacks. A couple of days ago, I shared the sumptuously light scones with jam and cream with a new friend. Today I went for the delicious orange and chia cake. The uber cool relaxed atmosphere, great service, country feel and dog welcome set The Farm Cafe apart from others in the vicinity.

    One of the best meal of my trip. The ingredients taste fresh and organic. The food came fairly quickly. I would visit again.

    Shoutout to James who took care of us when we came in. Amazing customer service from Him from the very beginning right through to the very end. Our coffees were delicious iced chai and iced latte. I had the lamb sandwich and it was huge I had to take the other half home. Gorgeous environment and decor. Lots of seating available to the public who are not visiting the farm. Toilets also available nice and clean.

    Been here for many occasions. Enjoyed food and atmosphere. The cafe located outside of children’s farm. You can also access it inside for food(not a meal, more for take away or small food)

    Excellent food, great staff, and wow the location! Nowhere better to be on beautiful summer day. Grab a bite, then check out the children's farm. From guinea pigs, to peacocks, goats and sheep, chickens, and beautiful gardens - it's a great way to spend the morning.

    We love this place; great food, friendly staff, and a light-filled space tucked away next to the farm. Been back a few times, and will keep coming back!

    Even on a cool rainy day this place, the staff and food were enough to warm the heart. We had "London Fog" with Oat milk on the recommendation of the waitstaff. They weren't wrong! It was lovely, followed by a bountiful ploughman's lunch for me and Mushrooms on Toast for my friend. Highly recommended but also don't wanna tell everyone!! It was school holidays but the weather meant it was a bit quieter than you would expect on a sunnier day. Go midweek, like we did if possible

    Great cafe to get a great coffee. Loved the warm and cozy feeling in the cafe. It’s a nice place for a pit-stop after a long walk.

    Recently visited The Farm Cafe in Melbourne and was absolutely delighted by the experience. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the Tunisian Eggs - a dish that perfectly balances exotic flavors with comforting familiarity. The eggs were cooked to perfection, and the accompanying ingredients brought a delightful burst of Middle Eastern zest that left me wanting more. The cafe’s charming ambiance, coupled with their commitment to fresh, locally-sourced ingredients, makes it a must-visit for anyone looking for a unique culinary adventure. Can’t wait to come back and try more of their delicious offerings!

    The farm cafe was absolutely exceptional for our wedding. We didn't look elsewhere, as the venue is very sentimental to us. & How stoked we are.. Everything was perfect. From planning the event, the communication with the team & the day itself. Super seamless, absolutely delicious & just well taken care of. Thank you to everyone involved! You made our big day so memorable. Our guests also loved every part. Keep up the incredible work.

    Unfortunately not great. It was fairly empty when we arrived and it took a while before anyone came to seat us (by the time anyone came to seat us there was a queue behind us). They have every milk besides Almond - I heard the waiter say ‘sorry no almond milk’ 6 times. The most disappointing though, was the ‘avocado goats toast’. To call this avocado toast is a bit of a joke. I have attached the photo for reference. There was a tiny dollop of avo. I added smoked salmon for $6, again a bit of a joke. There wasn’t much flavour and the actual avocado was gross. My husbands green juice was flavourless too. Won’t return.

    We went here Thursday 22/9 and there's a 15% surcharge as it was a public holiday. It was a very busy day. Food was great and all. However, when we got home, I realised, we never got the tart that I've ordered for my daughter. Checked how much I paid and found out it was $55.78. I calculated the total amount of what I had ordered that day and it was supposed to be $37 only, including the tart that I didn't get, and even adding the 15% surcharge won't equate to how much they've charged me. Called yesterday and lady said she's going to call me back later in the afternoon as they're busy. Called today and spoke to a Manager and was told to call again tomorrow so I can speak to a "real" Manager. I'm writing this review to warn people to always get your receipt and always check if everything that you've ordered are complete.

    Ordered an iced latte which came with undrinkable lumps of cow fat in it😙😙 The most horrible taste and to make it worse the ladies on the coffee machine has an awful attitude as they forget that customer service is a must in the hospitality industry. Organic milk is great but ensure you strain the lumps of the milk before you serve it! Do not buy coffee here, stick to the pre packed drinks in the fridge.
