Nice service and pretty solid coffee
I had some brunch at Gauge Espresso which is directly opposite Ormond Train Station. . Initially I was really impressed by the service here, especially from the waitress who was absolutely charming and attentive.
I ordered a strong skinny latte which was really good, the coffee flavour was nice and their was some good milk froth.
The food in the display cabinet looked good but I really liked the (partly) open kitchen.and the fact that everything was spotless so I decided to have scrambled eggs on sourdough.
The scrambled eggs looked creamy,, buttery, and there was some partially dried parsley too. The eggs tasted better then they looked, they were perfect.
The eggs were all of the above and they just melted in my mouth. Yummo.
The sourdough toast was excellent, it had a great crust, and the middle of the bread was really tasty too. It was good quality bread. Perfect.
That’s 3 ticks from me lol.
This place is definitely worth a visit and I will be back. Oh and there is no annoying credit or debit card surcharge which’s is a winner in my books!
Really happy to find this nice little local bistro. Amazing top quality food, friendly service, but reasonably priced.
Highlight of my meal- creme brûlée! Would definitely come again :)
Fantastic!! Great food, great coffee, amazing service. The whole shooting match here!! Stay away from the dessert menu as you’ll have to eat it all twice it’s that good!!!!!! 10/10
We stopped in for coffee and cake. The food was great and the service very friendly. Our baby was welcome and catered for as well. Visiting family from Brisbane, will most likely stop here again on our next trip.
Exquisite. The food, the wine, the service... it isn't a meal, it's a celebration. The croquettes are a must! Order and share at least half of the entrees. The wine recommendations never fail. I gladly travel from the other side of the city to spend a couple of hours with friends eating and drinking, always leaving sated, content, and happy. Consistency and quality have been the hallmarks of Gauge since its humble beginnings.
Absolutely delicious food - European classics cooked with skill, care and something extra! Great service from all the team, and friendly hospitality and great wine recommendations from the host. A great place.
An incredible evening of fine dining and a great venue. A wonderful host who took the time to walk around, engage and offer opinions on wines. Gippsland sourced meat and beer amongst many other options. Highly recommended and looking forward to returning 👍😎
Great food. Owner really knows his wine. Always happy to take his recommendation. Very happy to have this as a local restaurant.
My favourite local bistro! From barista coffee paired with their famous truckers toastie in the am, followed by a glass or two of champagne by 5pm. Wether you are solo or in a group Zeth and his team welcomes you with open arms, big smiles and great banter. Alongside a glass of wine or a bottle (no one judges here) you can always guarantee a delicious meal awaits with a chef selected cuisine, catered for all. Don't even get me started on desserts...but their fried apple pie...mmm "HEAVEN". But get in quick as its not around for long!
