Great location, ambience and great food. Tasty, fresh and friendly. Super smoothies, milkshakes and friendly staff. Wirth a drop in if you're in the area.
Apart from the yeasty white bread, the food was home cooked style and delish. I had polenta shashuka with chorizo. It had lots of veggies and was very filling. My partner had the fresh breakfast with poached eggs. The coffee was also good & the waiter did a great job dealing w the rush & the people staring at their screens, getting in the way while waiting for a table. If it wasn't for the bread I'd give it 4.5 stars.
Every time I have been to the unicorn I have left with a smile. A good standard cafe in Ballarat. Good prices, and haven't been disappointed yet.
Friendly service in a locally loved cafe restaurant. The Unicorn baked eggs with capsicum, feta and chorizo was served with two thick slices of toast and tortilla chips. The daily special of BBQ chicken toastie was a reasonable $15 with a generous side of fennel salted chips and aioli. A thoroughly enjoyable lunch in Ballarat! Highly recommend the regent cinema as well! The theatre was beautiful
Quite a hipster and retro cafe, one of the more popular ones in the Sturt Street area. They put up some nice and generous breakfast and lunch dishes with a few interesting gourmet touches, without being too elaborate. They have a superbly extensive array of drinks within each category, from healthy smoothies to many kinds of teas and milkshakes, to hot drinks and fresh juices just to name a few. It might be my new regular stopover spot.
Had a Sunday Café lunch at the Unicorn in Ballarat over the
weekend. It is a relaxed café with a
unique mixture of décor and food styles. The Pulled Pork
Po-Boy with coleslaw and chips was tasty, but I don’t remember and walnuts as
the menu suggests. The coffee was good
and the staff were pleasant. If you’re in the area and hungry then give it a
go.
Best coffee in Ballarat! Fun and relaxed atmosphere with consistently good food and coffee. The Fresh breakfast is a winner as well as the Cajun chips with aioli.
Super friendly staff. The large portion of chips is honestly HUGE. I was stuffed afterwards. Deliciously seasoned and heaps of dips to choose from. Didn't try their coffee but my friend said it was great.
The Unicorn Café is in Ballarat and is participating in the Foto Biennale. Here the Unicorn café is small and homely and its the ideal spot for uni students who are studying in Federation uni nearby. They did smell like a gingerbread, baking house the moment that I walked in. All the lovely spices and aromas filled the air. I was after one thing though and that was tea and maybe a cake or two since that is what Ballarat does best in as well as the boiled sweets. I wouldn't mind taking home one of these one day and sending it to China.
Funky place, great atmosphere so ended up having two feeds here, lunch day one then brekky the following morning. Lunch menu was different and enjoyable. Brekky was excellent with again a different range from your standard big brekkies. Service spot on both times which means I'll definitely be back when we visit Ballarat in a couple of weeks time.
I was there for my lunch after walking around Ballarat central during Ballarat Heritage Weekend 2018. All the staff were well mannered, friendly, and quick service. Loved my savory waffle and cappuccino. I'll be a regular customer here soon.
Been here a few times interacting with different staff and they have been down to earth and really helpful with discussing/fixing my coffee. Actual coffees have been on point as well along with the food, baked goods and fresh juices. Great cafe to chill and to get some work done. Cheers boys & girls!
Awesome service, friendly atmosphere. Food was pretty good. Will come back
Excellent food including a good choice in vegan. Amazing coffee and fantastic staff. They're focused on sustainability and supporting local farmers. The ambience if so chilled and relaxing. Great music. Has something for everyone. The Unicorn is one of Ballarats finest!
Had breakfast there. Great food - lots of flavour and interesting. Excellent service. Kids menu. Coffee was good, as was the tea. Music playing on old school record player. Sat on comfy couch surrounded by unicorns - the kids absolutely loved it! Highly recommended.
