Brunch has been a favourite of ours for a number of years now. We love the creativity of Owner and Head chef Louise. She and husband Mark have a unique talent of making you feel like you are part of the family and their staff are always attentive and helpful. We enjoy the variety on the menu and that the breakfast options are available all day. We have celebrated a number of significant birthdays and anniversaries at Brunch with family and friends, and were delighted to try today's special of Rosemary and garlic mushrooms with French Brie, poached egg and spinach on sourdough toast - quite delicious! Whether you go for a meal or coffee and cake, you won't be disappointed!
Absolutely amazing food and coffee. One of the best coffees I have ever had, the food was incredible and obviously all homemade. Their cheesecake has won a gold medal and I can see why as it has ruined all other cheesecakes for me. I will hands down be a return customer. Well done guys.
Quaint, cosy and warm. Staff were attentive and engaging.
We asked if we could share a main and staff were more than happy to indulge us.
Thoroughly enjoyed the Truffle oil Mushrooms served on sourdough with mixed roasted vegies. Very tasty and plenty to share for the two of us. We then enjoyed amazing buttermilk scones, delish jam & cream. Nice to have 'real' & tasty jam, can often be a let down even when you have the best scones. Price - good.
On a crisp autumnal day in the Dandenong's, Brunch ticked our box. Cosy fires, rustic and quaint setting. We will be back again. Thankyou
Staff is really friendly and food was delicious. They place feels cosy with the chimney fire. They have not disappoint me at all every time I come for lunch. Highly recommended.
Nice place on Mount Dandenong. Peppermint tea is pretty good. I ordered the pan breakfast, everything tastes good and healthy. Very quiet and the service is awesome！Dog friendly.😝
Love this hidden gem on Mt. Dandenong tourist road. It’s my second time here and it hasn’t disappoint me.
Both times I had breakfast in the pan, a balanced big breakfast of mushroom, spinach, bacon, tomatoes, fried eggs sunny side up and lovely sourdough toast. Friends I was with had a range of different award winning and sharing dishes, which were all very good.
The just have at this place are their home made dessert/tea time treats - the award winning raspberry and lime cheesecake, the home made apple pie and the scones were wonderful. Highly recommended you dropping by if you are a fan or those.
There’s inside and outside seating, and when I was there in the cold they had a fire going inside, wonderful and cosy. Both times I saw lots of dog lovers and kids having a great time hanging outside while having their lunch.
Highly recommended for a simple but delicious and relaxing meal.

I had my birthday lunch here on a Sunday afternoon. The whole experience was excellent - Brunch café looked after us all so well! The café is so interesting inside - has a lovely feel, and set in the beautiful Mt Dandenong!
The food was great - all the guests enjoyed their meals, and we were particularly impressed with the many varied vegan options! From Parmas to Vegan Platters, there was something for everyone.
The team are so lovely and accommodating - from the waiters, to the manager to the chef! All of the team at brunch made sure our experience was a great one. Definitely a great place to celebrate an occasion, or just have a quiet breakfast or lunch.
Thank you for having us Brunch café!
We are so lucky found this place is just what we were waiting for. The friendly staff was quick and nice. All kids are exciting for this new place and of coz they all jump into the playground while parents enjoy chatting. Our breakfast were very tasty and good quality. The home feel was so nice. You can see the piano, picture and books. We really like the open fire place.
Most people believed this is the good place for all parties, no matter lover, family and friends.
If you are fond of food photography, here is very good place to hanging around and practice your skills. For kids, they can have free books to take it home and play board games in the cafe as well.
The only complaint: The outside playground is not safe enough for kids, beware your kids when they play outside and always look after them while you have a free time.

Drove up the mountain today to find an 'out of the way' cafe away from the hustle and bustle of suburbia. I could't believe our luck. This place is just what we were looking for. The service was quick and friendly. There was no delay in receiving our coffees and our freshly made lunch was not far behind. Our meals were very tasty and ingredients of excellent quality. We arrived for a late lunch just as everyone else was leaving. The ambiance was peaceful, with an open fire place crackling away and birds singing in the treetops all around.
It is the sort of place I reckon the locals would frequent and would probably wish they could keep to themselves! Too bad! We've found it now! We will return.
went to Brunch today due to happy memories of when it was Ladyhawke Cafe. Loved the menu as it wasn't all bacon and bread based options. There was avo on the menu and my partner gave the thumbs up for the baguette filled with chicken, avo and feta. I went for the quinoa crumbed chicken with superfood salad. Wonderful flavours and loved the almost panko style crumb. We didn't stay for coffee but will return to do so and sample the cakes. Also loved that they have an entire, separate vegan menu. Service was friendly but not clear if you order at the counter or table. Probably write it on the menu to clarify.
Only few minutes drive from Rhododendron Gardens, this vintage style restaurant would send you back to the oldies era. Staff were friendly and courteous. The coffee was awesome and food was delicious. Love the decor and ambience.
We came to Brunch Cafe to have lunch before a visit to William Ricketts Sanctuary down the road. Surprise surprise. What a lovely place to have lunch. Its cosy, warm and rustic. The staff are super friendly and accommodating. Thank you for your great service.
Drinks: We had French Earl Grey - which we liked compared to the T2 variety. The Hot Chocolate is rich and yummy as it's made with Lindt chocolates. Highly recommended.
Food: Pie of the day was green pepper and steak. A bit dry but taste was okay. Parma was okay, not that we are much of a parma fan. The scones were nice and goes well with the Earl Grey. The steak in Shiraz was yummy. Our favourite dish for the lunch.
We would highly recommend this place for drinks, food, great service, and a nice lovely atmosphere!
Delicious morning brunch cafe situated inside a cosy cottage. I had the London Grill which had very generous portions and the taste is very good.
The garden and verandah area outside the Cafe is also very beautiful.
Great place but needs booking for busy days. Nice simple menu but wish there was more
We ordered baguette and parma, great food with low seasoning. Coffee is awesome. Warm customer service and beauty old style décor. Would suggest fixing unlevel table, and outdoor / garden to make it perfect.
Amazing little cafe, great food. I had the schnitzel burger and my mother in law had the falafel burger. Great vegan options. Highly recommend. We will be back.
