Prior to Melbourne Lockdown 2.0 I came to Bendigo. Dined at Cortille on a Sunday for Brunch as not many other cafes were open. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options available.
š½ tofu scramble - this is something that Iāve been interested in trying on other menus but never have. Very tasty Thai flavours and you couldnāt tell you were eating tofu.
Smash avo - standard, nothing spectacular.
Chilli Scramble - was missing chorizo which appears to be a staple of chilli scrambles these days. however, the flavour of the scramble was very nice and had a nice chilli kick.
With all of the meals (except the tofu) only one piece of toast was included. For the price, I was expecting a bigger portion and an extra piece of toast or an extra element (I.e chorizo) wouldāve increased volume of the dish.
šāāļøvery friendly and chatty staff. They were all happy to assist with menu choices. Food and drinks came out hot and on time.
Awesome coffee and a really good breakfast menu with varied and modern options. It sure why this place isnāt rated higher?
In any case itās a must visit if you are in Bendigo for a weekend and want a great brunch.
Cortille is one of our must stop destinations whenever we are in Bendigo. It's the funkiest little cafe right in the middle of town. It has the cutest decor and is extremely light and airy, with the coolest mural on the wall. I adore the little caravan as it's a real point of difference. Service is really welcoming and the staff are great at their job.
I'm a big fan of their raw treats, which are amazing with a cup of coffee. The perfect place to get a healthy treat in town. The coffee itself is also great. Everything is fresh and tasty, and served promptly. In a country town like Bendigo, it's great to find a cafe offering hip decor and healthy food with that country style hospitality.
Great food and awesome service... good coffee and nice street art on walls.
Food tasty and satisfying. We had the lamb meatballs and Mexican jackfruit bowl. Highly recommend a visit when in Bendigo
Came here on a Thursday morning and the place was dead, so it wasnāt the greatest of first impressions...
However, was greeted straight away and the staff were very accommodating and friendly. They have a couple of vegan options available and decided to go with the tofu scramble.
A different to what Iām used to, but the ingredients used resulted in an incredibly tasty dish. My biggest issue though was with the burnt and tasteless bread (toast) used. It tasted as though it was an unbranded bread, which really shouldnāt be case at a cafeā.
Cute (and surprisingly huge) cafe in Bendigo. Stopped in for lunch. Coffee was good, menu was quirky and varied. Meals were slightly smaller than expected but very fresh and tasty. Service was attentive and polite.
Would come here again š
Definitely one of the best cappuccinos I have had.
The food was pretty good as well.
Definitely a must visit.
Ambiance and the service was pretty good.
As an experienced brunch foodie Melbourne, I am glad that Bendigo has a place that matches with Melbourne standard. From the point that I entered the place and have my coffee, I feel alive with Axil brand. The latte is so nice that I can give have one cup after the other.Ā
Also, as this is the first time that I visited the place, given that only limited places are open in Sunday for brunch in Bendigo. I love the food that is being served, ordering a big breakfast but nice proportions so I managed to finish it.Ā
The service is slightly disappointed as the waiter happen to forget my friend's extra order of poached eggs for her bowl. If the service is also up to standard, I would have given the place a 5 rating instead.Ā
Generally I enjoy the place and would like to visit it when I am back in Bendigo in the future.
Very nice location fresh new modern look. The lunch menu although limited is top notch. The Moroccan Lamb was very tasty. The quantity was just right.
Felt like a little piece of Melbourne out in Bendigo, lovely bright and sunny cafe complete with coffee being served from a little van inside. Delicious sauce on the crispy chicken burger, they should use it as a sauce for the chips!
I am back at Cortille after my first wonderful experience a few weeks ago. The space is modern warehouse that is comfortable. The coffee is excellent and the neat little menu offers delicious options. Staff are attentive, warm and efficient in the midst of breaky and coffee hour.
Easy parking. Inviting quirky theme. Greeted by happy inviting staff. Table service, timely. Coffee good 7/10. Chilli eggs very good 8/10. Staff checked back with us re satisfaction. Overall 8/10.
I had the pulled pork benidict which was great! The staff were very friendly and had quick service. Would have liked some salt, pepper and sugar on the table though.
Visited yesterday for Mother's Day therefore very busy! Service was great; attentive, friendly staff. Coffee was delicious and food arrived quickly. Our table had 2 egg and bacon burgers, 2 serves of waffles, the smoked salmon and the pulled pork and poached eggs w hollandaise. The burgers were delicious but for $16 I'd have expected a side but everything else was fantastic and good value. Thanks for helping us spoil Mum and Gran! Would return
Been here a few times- food is great as is the coffee! Nice sitting out the front on a sunny day! Really enjoyed the tacos- soft, flavoursome and gluten free!
Came here on a sunny day. We was welcomed by a big smile from the waiter. Straight away we got a table and ordered strawberry milkshake and a flat white. Coffee blend is from axil roaster and through the skilful hand of baristas here, it did not fail to bring the delicious. Strawberry milkshake was a bit too sweet for my friend but it was yum and refreshing. In the menu they have vietnamese cold drip which i think it was cold drip coffee and it was a bit awkward for me cause im viet and we dont really have any cold drip coffee back home incase they use vietnamese coffee bean to make the drip? Overall it is a good cafe, definitely coming back.
The vegan scrambled eggs went down a treat! Absolutely delicious range to choose from. The use of quality ingredients leaves a satisfied customer. Wait staff were friendly and the joint was super clean. Chef has a sound understanding of the importance of simplicity and combing quality ingredients to create very flavoursome meals. Shall be back again!
HOW cool is this place?Ā They've got the barista set up IN A CARAVAN................IN THE SHOP!
Yes, The Whippeteers enjoyed a LIGHTNING QUICK stop at Cortille last Sunday.Ā
They use AXIL coffees.Ā They KNOW what they're doing.Ā We heartily recommend "Cortille".
Excellent food and service.
Great surprise, exceeded my expectations.
The beef brisket bun is fantastic.
Highly recommended option for a quick but full of flavour lunch.
Bendigo Wholefoods peanut butter, tomatoes, black pepper and peanuts on toast. Winner! The new addition of the room next door is a good addition.
This place is so cool, i love the industrial feel.... like who has a caravan in their cafe. Service was good, drinks was great, food was scrumptious. I enjoyed creating my own waffle accompanied by a banana spice blend. Would recommend.
Really like this little cafe, the atmosphere, also the 1st cafe who putting me on a waiting list. Amazed by the fresh food and the food truck, feels like eating in Rome!
Love this cafe! A small but really well considered menu. Everything is really fresh and great quality right down to the condiments; great beetroot relish and the yummiest mustard I've ever eaten (big call I know). Today we shared the pulled pork jaffle (served with the aforementioned mustard) and poached egg with avocado, asparagus, peas, smoked salmon, beetroot & feta. Yum x 2. Good coffee too and friendly staff. There were a lot of people waiting for takeaway coffees so worth factoring in if you're in a hurry. Currently working out whether we go back tomorrow or try somewhere else :-)
Blown away by this one! I did my research and booked this cafe for a family catch up. The menu looked good but I really didn't expect Bendigo to match the Sydney cafe scene. Cortille stood the test!
The cafe appears small from the outside but has a huge upstairs area and also a courtyard. The staff were so friendly and helpful - they went above and beyond and were great with the kids.
The coffee was on point. The menu? Absolutely up my alley. A range of super healthy options but also enough options to indulge if you're that way inclined. Special mention to the ricotta hot cakes - incredible.
A must visit!
Excellent cafe. Great coffee (like, Melbourne great... Sorry for the pretension) and super friendly staff. I like to hang here when waiting for appointments and never feel rushed.
Nice to visit a town and make a discovery. Very pleased with the find and will definitely be back when next in Bendigo. Good coffee and yum food.
Super cute place with great food, coffee and juice. The mushrooms with nut crumble were great paired with avocado and sourdough and the 'breathe' juice was delicious. There were a couple of small hiccups with the service - it was very slow and the waiter made a couple of mistakes with the order but nothing major. The staff were all really lovely, too.
Cute cafe. Went here for a lunch, service was a bit slow but the wait staff were really friendly. Good juice, good coffee, mixing up the sides and adding extras was no issue and things were easily made vegan. Avocado and grapefruit was delicious, highly recommend.
Hidden Gem in the heart of Regional Victoria!. What isn't there to say about this unique venue! From the moment we were greeted by the lovely staff at the front door, the experience was as good as we have had. The house made beer burger w/ american mustard on a beautifully baked brioche is arguably the best burger I've come across. The Fresh Prince fresh juice is a must for a refreshment on a hot day, and most of all the axil coffee is impossible to pass up. Highly recommend.
When walking through this crazy cool cafĆ©ās entrance, I couldnāt help feel like I was back in Melbourne. A massive old school trailer is parked in the hallway, where they serve take away coffee and cake to eager beavers throughout the week. A bit further in, there is a beautiful display cabinet of cakes and tasty morsels you can grab to go, or sit down and enjoy. Then thereās this contraption. I assume it has something to do with coffee, perhaps a cold drip ā comment below if you know what it does!
From out of town and stumbled across this cafe for lunch....what a great find! Brilliant food and great vibe. We even came back for breakfast the next day!
Service was really good and the food was amazing
I highly recommend it and will definitely be returning
Enjoyed breakfast at cortille on Saturday morning! Coffee was good and the eggs Benedict on corn bread with bacon was really enjoyable! Quirkey setting which make it's a unique dining experience. Will return again :)
Excellent newcomer. I was waiting to see if it was all a fluke: my first punchy, floral, carefully-extracted coffee experience, and the well-considered, well-executed food. But no: I heartily recommend you do yourself favours and partake.
Locals know Brewhouse and Old Green Bean have raised the cafe bar in recent years, and I'm very glad to report Cafe Cortille raises it further.
It's one thing to have good product but it can be butchered: thankfully the good folk here treat their beloved Axil beans with tenderness, extracting all the goodness, and the menu is full of quality choices. Go.
Up from Melbourne over the long weekend and came across this place. What a hidden gem! They have a caravan inside, use Axil Coffee from Hawthorn and their menu is as good as any cafe in Melb! So impressed with the What Did I Do Last Night (their big breakfast) and my girlfriend loved the vegetarian brekkie - Stuffed Flat Mushroom on a bed of polenta (which looked amazing!) The staff were so attentive and actually cared about the place, rather than just doing their job. It really showed in the quality of the coffee, food and service. Well done Cortille! Hats off. We'll be back!
Love this place!. I absolutely love Cortille. Great location right in the centre of Bendigo, and the staff create such a fun and relaxing atmosphere. Can't go past the Braised beef cheek baguette. Reasonable prices whilst still getting well presented food and professional service! The coffee is great too.
Spoonfuls Of Wanderlust
+3.5
Verdict? The quirky space was cosy and comfortable, while the food was fresh and delicious. The service was pretty slow and we even had to wait over 20 minutes for our coffees, but we understand that it was a very busy weekend and the venue was absolutely packed, so obviously the staff and kitchen were just a bit overwhelmed. Overall, a very nice spot for brunch.
Good coffee, yummy brunch options. Service is a bit slow but improving on previous visits, just donāt come if youāre in a rush! Lovely art on display, great spot on a warm day.
I enjoyed the food very much. The Japanese eggs were terrific. The coffee was a bit bitter but overall the breakfast was a very enjoyable experience.
Scrambled eggs, bacon, sourdough toast and hashbrown accompanied by a freshly squeezed orange juice. š All prepared perfectly to order in a comfortably cool setting.
Not as many staff wearing masks as I felt there should have been during these times, but good service otherwise, and a nice atmosphere. š
Wonderful little cafe with a cheerful interior and great meals. Service was fast and the food well plated. Some of the best poached eggs I have ever eaten. Was great to find something open in Bendigo on the long weekend.
Meal was excellent coffee was a little bitter this morning won't stop me coming back service was awesome as always
Great coffee and nice food. Actually the only reason for 4 stars and not 5 is two minor issues actually because you canāt fault the coffee and service, but we were inside and it was a little echoing and loud, but the juice, coffee and food were very good but I would have loved a little more chorizo in the baked eggs but other than that it was super yummy and the service was tops.
