Great atmosphere. Big breakfast was amazing and delicious! Coffee was great, perfect taste. Definitely coming back. A must visit restaurant in Phillip Island
Can't comment on the good but one if the better coffee venues on the island! If you want a great latte or short black to kick start your day this is the place
Had the Bourbon Burger and some fries. The fries to burger ratio was way out, I must have missed the part that said we'll give you a enough overcooked fries to last you the next millennium. Any danger of some Aioli? Or even offering some sauce for these horrific fries? The burger, where do I start, absolutely no hint of bourbon, genuinely took a patty from IGA and butchered the absolute f%*k out of it and slapped it onto a bun that was so hard it would break a window. Then to absolutely murder the burger, 2 slices of Kraft singles cheese to heighten my cholesterol and leave a bad stank in my mouth.
Seems all his energy and effort was put into that smug smile while posing for the signage out the front of 'Ciao Joes'.
The breakfast is on point though 👌
Smokin'Joe Frasier the kitchen Hellraiser. You'll be drawn in by Joe's unique sign and you'll be mesmerized when you meet the man himself. Inspiring ornaments throughout his restaurant and a beautiful garden out the back. BBQ and a pool table also feature at this fine establishment. The food is tasty and yummy. This little family gem is right next to Salvos and you'll be in awe by the Boca Benedict, the mushroom omelet and the Ham and Cheese focaccia. Ciao Joe gets all the Hoe.
Good food! Service is fast and the coffee is superb! Food is very important in Italy - you eat until you are fit to burst! This gentleman holds true to his Homeland. You will leave feeling like you never need to eat again! He is a wonderful chef!
Small cafe that does good coffee and breakfast options. If you are in cowes for the weekend and want an early morning fix, won’t find any cafes open except this one. Eftpos orders below $9 is 50cents surcharge.

We had a great breakfast yesterday, zero complaints everything was tasty and the staff and customers all friendly.
Lovely place on the main drag. Joe does a lovely coffee for my daughter and I. Open at the crack of dawn 👌 very accommodating for my kids dietary needs. Staff are friendly. Easy parking and access. Best part is you don't need to add sugar in your coffee 👍😂☕
ime for breakfast and with quite a few choices during the school holidays, I decided on Ciao Joe's. On this day there were quite a few cyclists who were enjoying their coffee break.
I ate outside due to the balmy autumnal weather. I chose the scrambled eggs which were light and fluffy on nicely cooked bread. The hot chocolate was tasty and not overly hot which is sometimes what happens.
Staff were great and very helpful. Despite being busy, they floated from one table to the taking orders, delivering food and making sure plates were cleared in a timely manner.
Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly. Pram/Stroller accessible. Good parking but do watch the time limits as the parking inspectors are vigilant. Lots of other places to eat nearby but worth trying this one.
