Review Providore Cafe Lake Gardens - Ballarat

Nice and food and coffee but Providore doesn’t allow you to use wifi unless you agree for them to collect personal data. I couldn’t connect to wifi using my work computer. Horrible service.

Great Chai, coffee and baby chino, lady very child friendly, even when they both drop their delicious chinos, apologies for that.

Delish and super friendly! Opposite a nice kids playground ;)

Exceptional friendly service and delicious food.

Excellent coffee. Friendly staff. Pleasant environment.

Yummy food, delicious drinks and the staff are very nice

I'm not sure if it's just during the pandemic, but takeaway is served cold.

Nice cafe ,friendly staff in an historical Ballarat building.

Had the veggie pastie and egg and bacon roll on Saturday and it was delish. Sharon is so passionate with her food and greets all her regulars with their names. This is a little gem hidden away in the centre of lake gardens. Make this your local now.

Omg best facacia and chips yum Sharon and the team have a homey and relaxed place to have great coffee and lovely home made food

Best coffee, great service and their meat pies are so yummy

Great food, great coffee and great service.

I come here often. The location is unique, food superb and so much attention to detail with presentation. Very reasonably priced, generous serves (their chicken pies are the best in Victoria)! Staff are so hospitable and friendly, this place is a hidden gem!

My wife and I went to Providore today. We used to dine there every fortnight when we lived next door. We used to enjoy it. When we went in today we were greeted by the waitress and we then took our seat. The waitress was standing over two people in conversation who I assume were her friends. While we waited for some sort of contact we had to wince while the waitress was effectively yelling at her friends in conversation. There were two more customers who seated only a metre from the boisterous voice and were clearly annoyed. It was a fascinatingly loud, especially when the topic of conversation was the character assassination of some mutual friend. We waited for five minutes hoping to receive some service which was never to arrive. We then left mystified and with a nice little headache which we received for free. The waitress did not notice or pause her yelling as we walked out although she did bend over to start whispering some more sinister comments which were still clearly audible as the room is tiny.

Extensive menu for a cafe. The All day breakkie I love! (Egg and bacon focaccia ..yum!) We visit regularly. The staff are incredible and so helpful. They are happy to accommodate menu changes when I've had special requests for Ollie. Customer service is outstanding. They seem to know the regular guests orders and address them by name. <br/>The Cafe is a happy little place. I've seen huge positive changes since the new owners took over in September. I even get my papers on a Wednesday and Saturday off them. They are always happy to see you. Love the sausage rolls for my son Ollie. Thumbs up guys!

Great little quaint cafe in a nice area. Service here is amazing, delicious coffee, and the food is absolutely scrumptious! Ask for one of their brownies, you won't be disappointed!

Lousy service. Limited menu. Some food was great, but not all.
