With excellent, friendly service and great food and coffee, this is the place to go if you are in the area. It's a shame they aren't in Melbourne! I enjoyed the eggs Benny (which included an apple gel). My partner had the smashed avo. We both enjoyed our meals immensely. The also have a very nice wet chai which I imagine is hard to find in these parts. Will definitely be back next time I am in Gippsland.
Tucked right off the Esplanade on Meyer St, Lakes Entrance is a very popular Cafe. Opens at 8am and gets pretty busy right after. We were there at 8:10am and was lucky to find the last table, while seeing others been told to come back later.
Food is pretty good and fairly priced. My initial impression from the name of the Cafe was to expect some innovative and funky menu, however that isn't the case and menu is standard run of the mill. Coffee was pretty good and so was the hot cake with maple, kids loved it.
Surely worth a try when you are in this beautiful part of Victoria.
Undeniably the best coffee shop in lakes entrance. In such a small cute town knowing that there’s a reliable coffee shop where both locals and tourists stop by is a must in my book!
Ordered:
regular mocha $4.5
Apple custard
Review:
Delicious mocha which a nice balance of coffee and chocolate. This was my first time drinking mocha as I’m always a cappuccino or latte type of person but it’s honestly soooo good. The apple custard was flavourful with fresh tart apples cooked down and folded in with the moist pastry. Inside was a rich custard, although I would’ve liked the custard to be a bit more smooth.
Best coffee in town. And it seems to be a fairly popular place with the locals and tourists alike, judging by the crowds every day of the week!
Perfect breakfast at Funky Monkeys. Service as well as the food was spot on and the fresh juices were awesome! Delicious start to the day. Highly recommend!
Unique combination in the potato rosti gave this dish a different kick. Love the taste of the potato being a bit savoury with combination of nuts and poached egg.
Fried chicken waffle is also their recommendation. The waffle is very nice and they add a dash of hoisin sauce if not mistaken. The chicken is juicy and tender, piled on a very well presented salad. Lovely!
(4.5/5) Nice brunch spot in this area. We celebrated a friend's birthday here. We were able to keep our birthday cake in their fridge. Good service! There is a big table for large groups, which was great for us. Most of the dishes were actually very tasty. The only downside was probably the quality of the coffee, but I love their artistic coffe cups. Overall, we had a great experience there.
A shining beacon of light in the seemingly turbid waters that are Lake Entrance. We found the food and coffee (breakfast) at this cafe to be amazing - very tasty, well executed and top notch presentation.
Best cafe in Lakes Entrance. I love the potato rosti dish. The orange cake is lovely & the coffee is the best.
Does get very busy of a morning but quiter in the afternoon
Pies and Sausage rolls delicious. The service even during busy times is exceptional and personalised. A lovely experience during our visit to Lakes Entrance.
Wow, what a flavour sensation, chili scrambled eggs with beetroot brioche was off the chart. Highly recommend! Kids had waffles which were demolished in minutes too! Had to go tell the chef it was excellent.
Loved this place! The food was amazing, tried the Berry & Mango French Toast. Not only did it look beautiful, it tasted so fresh, delicious and well balanced flavour (not overly sweet, just right). Paired it with an apple, carrot & ginger juice which was freshly made and so refreshing. Would definitely recommend for breakfast. Although gets busy, the service is fast & efficient.
Nice little place just off the main street. Polite and friendly staff. I had a smash avo with poached egg. I think the egg was slightly over cooked but still very nice. Great presentation of the food. Well done
Yum burgers and they look special. We ordered one beef and one vegetarian burger. Both tasted nice. Chips are nice and crispy. Worth trying!
Unconditional recommend. The sweets are a tour de force. Milkshake was made as per the best. In the aluminium cup. Took some sweets to eat at home as very filling. Proper cup of also (T2). Hard working staff. Very polite in a tough environment for small business for staff. Well done.
Super tasty, super seating area, super presentation, awesome price range, super portion, and that all adds up to a super experience. Loved it😘🥰
They say that you eat with your eyes. But mine nearly bulged out of my head when his smashed avo and my berry mango french toast arrived at our street side bench. Even a passerby ogled at the artistry on our plates. And each dish offered a taste sensation. Funkey Monkey is an essential stopover for every visitor to Lakes Entrance.
