The name sums it up - the Lobby Cafe is located in an office building lobby. There’s nothing fancy or pretentious about the place, just friendly, down-to-earth service and delicious and hearty home cooking.

Open weekdays for breakfast and lunch, the Lobby Cafe predominantly caters to local businesses and workers and it’s well worth a visit if you’re in the area.

The breakfast menu offers pastries, toast, fresh fruit and muesli, eggs and perennial favourites, the bacon and egg roll and smashed avo on toast. For lunch, there are ten or so burgers on the menu along with a changing daily selection of salads and hot meals. Having taken over the premises nearly a year ago, the owners have really tuned in to the preferences of their customers, learning the most popular meals based on custom salad orders and then building their menu choices around that for the salad bar.

We enjoyed a good dose of greens with a mixed bean and salmon salad and roasted vegetable and halloumi salad (with other salad choices that day including Greek salad, potato salad, and chicken Caesar salad). Together with the Veggie Stack (grilled eggplant, zucchini, capsicum, tomato, avocado and halloumi), it was a healthy and wholesome lunch, with a refreshing green juice of kale, pineapple and ginger. There’s a choice of fresh juice combinations buts it’s worth noting that they will make you a drink with your choice of the seasonal fruit and veg on offer.

There’s spacious indoor and outdoor seating for those eating in, and the cafe is geared up to ensure a fast takeaway service - important if you need to grab and go. And did I mention they serve Gypsy Espresso coffee and healthy paleo treats like bounty slice and cranberry coconut bars? Thanks Andrew for the attentive service and yummy meal.
