Local. Food delish. Icead teas to die for. Staff lovely 🌟🌟🌟
Portuguese custard tart delicious, atmosphere chilled, coffee brewed to perfection, customer service spot on. Congratulations on a quaint spot.
My son and I had a lovely lunch at Lip Cafe. The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was warm and relaxed. Sam, the new owner was just gorgeous!
I love this place, healthy, organic and great staff. They change their menu regularly for new choices and great coffee. Ok prices and hidden away so quite peaceful.
Great food and coffee, however can take a while to come out so don’t be in a hurry. The space is a bit tight. Around the corner from us and we will keep returning.
I think I am addicted to the BLAT (Bacon Lettuce Avocado Tomato) sandwiches here. So delicious. The components are all just right: bacon that isn't too crispy, but lettuce that is. The tomato never disappoints, and the avocado is generous. The aoili brings it all together. So many wonderful textures and flavours that meet in my mouth. All served between two big, fluffy soft slices of sourdough. I've eaten numerous BLATs elsewhere, but they never quite meet the standard of Lip Cafe's, in terms of flavour, presentation, and balance.
Came here for weekend breakfast. Service was friendly and efficient. Had the baked eggs which were much better than I had anticipated - a rich and flavoursome tomato sauce and the pesto was a great addition
Grunge, Rustic and it has legs ....
Hidden along Waterdale Rd, semi-open kitchen, indoor and outdoor dining area with a long ex-Church bench, great recycling.
It was a good find, enjoyable space with good food and coffee, watch out for 1/2 hr parking space. JT-24/11/2017
Went here for a late brekkie with the wife on Saturday and left with no complaints; if I could sum up the cafe in one word it would be unpretentious - a stripped-back dining space with enough homely character to make you feel comfortable, a reasonably straight-forward menu and reasonable prices.Â
We ordered eggs on toast and corn fritters between us, while I also ordered a ginger ale. Ultimately, we left none of the food on our plates and didn't feel the urge to eat further, the dishes were both fresh and came out reasonably promptly and the staff were all pretty friendly and discreet. I'd happily return again.
Little cosy cafe where you least expect it. Close to Heidelberg Repatriation Centre, it's an excellent place to grab a coffee while you wait for an appointment etc. Don't be deceived by the small front, there's plenty of seating at the back and outdoors!
The salmon Rosti and Corn Fritters are good options. Coffee decent. Sweets at the counter up front if you're keen. And daily specials :)
Cute little caffe. Place is very small and so if there are too many diners it gets very noisy. Food was nice and menu had lot of options - good choices for vegetarian people which I was happy with! Staff were friendly but not very attentive as they get busy chatting amongst themselves and delay serving u even after your have ordered something that's pre made like a biscuit! Due to close proximity to hospital and other small businesses they get lot of working class customers on their lunch break - staff should be understanding and attentive as lunch breaks are roughly 30 mins! No complaints about food but their customer service needs improving.
This place is a real hidden gem. Cute and cosy cafe and the menu has a wide range of options as well as specials. Will be coming back here soon.
Thanks to the amazing people at the Lip Cafe for their incredible service. Currently stuck isolating (like everyone else it feels ), and they went above and beyond to help us out with delivering food, coffee beans and essentials for us with an amazingly quick and personal service, despite themselves being short staffed and facing their own challenges with the current pandemic. Always been our go to Cafe, and this is why. Can't wait to dine in again 🙂
I thoroughly recommend the Lip Cafe About 20 adults and children celebrated our mother’s 100th birthday in the rear courtyard area. The very considerate, friendly and helpful staff went out of their way to create a delightful space. The staff erected a marquis, and decorated the area with bright cushions, balloons and flowers. Although the kitchen was not open on a Tuesday, the staff arranged a delivery of delicious sandwiches. The coffee was of an excellent standard. The children were excited to have iced drinks. I will certainly keep the Lip Cafe in mind for further functions. Thank you so much on behalf of all Peggy’s family and friends.
So great to finally get back into restaurants! Lip Cafe is a really lovely cafe in the Waterdale road shopping district. Quick, efficient, lovely service. Catering for everything you might need - DF, GF, NF, V, VG how ever you eat you can eat it here.
This morning we grabbed their Avo Smash and Potato Rosti - both were excellent and came quickly. We also grabbed a flat white each - and their baristas know how to use every Milk Lab under the sun.
Highly recommend to go grab something yummy now we can eat in.
Always solid, really great service. Recently I have been loving their BLT. Pro-tip: the ready to eat meals in their fridge are great. Hoping the gnocchi is there next time - so good.
Lovely food and pleasently surprised for a tiny cafe. Decent menu and the coffee is exceptional
Grabbed a quick brekkie here last weekend before Pfizer #3. Great coffees, hot chocolates and food. My wife said the almond croissant was one of the best she's ever had - up there with Noisette in Elwood. Definitely go.
