Review Ballarista

We were visiting Ballarat and stumbled upon this place while looking for somewhere to have a Sunday breakfast. The decor is gorgeous, and the staff were so friendly. I highly recommend the stuffed mushroom dish (can't recall the exact name sorry), really delicious!! I wasn't the biggest fan of the skull pictures on one of the walls (a bit morbid for a Sunday morning), but I do love that they use that space as an art space to display work of local artists. Really great idea! Also the music was quite nice, really relaxing. Just a fantastic relaxing breakfast spot in the middle of town.

A very welcome addition to the traveller and locals of Ballarat, this cafe makes a very decent coffee and makes good food. The owner has put a lot of effort into making it very welcoming and that is very appreciated. The Cheese kransky with sauerkraut was great as was my partner's BLT. Highly recommended

Beautiful little cafe, loved the paper art they had on the walls! Calm and friendly atmosphere. Delicious beverages and surprised by the large sizes! A must visit in town

Busy little shop. Very cozy and comfortable. Great coffee, and if you're taking away, bring in your own cup and get out filled. I love the spicy eggs. Sit at the window and see Ballarat getting on with its day.

Good for the average coffee drinker who wants a laté as a takeaway or to have-in with mates. Went in thinking it was specialty coffee, but it isn't. They don't really know their shots, long blacks taste average. Seem to hardly be open.

Really great and friendly people working there. From the moment I came in they really made me feel at home and welcome. The coffee is good and the food lives up to expectations very happy. Next time I’m in Ballarat this place will get more business from me for sure

Ambience is casual and it is a good hangout place for bar food and sports. I wasnt happy with the service. The server acted entitled and was not pleasant to deal with, despite having a large group. I wouldn't go back because of the experience. I may consider it if the food was better and the staff was nicer.

Fantastic beards, 5 stars. These guys have really gone out of their way to show how good a beard can look, while maintaining a friendly and approachable atmosphere for customer service. Oh and the coffee and food are great too.

Excellent place to relax and have a coffee or meal of high quality at reasonable price. Try the beef and pork burger. Simply divine. Ice coffee is one of the best in town. Staff are very friendly and great service to be had

best coffee/burger combo i've had. If you're in Ballarat do yourself a favour and grab a chicken burger and a coffee� good service and good atmosphere.

The atmosphere and aesthetics of Ballarista make this a gorgeous, interesting and creative place to relax and have a coffee or a bite to eat. Also, barista Tim makes a damn fine coffee. Top notch
