Initially came here for a take away coffee and then returned for lunch after visiting MOVE next door. Very busy both times but service organised and quick. Really enjoyed the special Reuben sandwich with chips. Both cappuccinos good. Reasonable prices.

Made a pitstop for brekky. Well worth the little sidetrek. Had the Maple waffles with compote, was absolutely delicious. Dad has eggs on toast with bacon. Was fresh and delicious. The wait time was less than 10 mins. Set it a quiet little area, which would get crazy in the holidays. Service was impeccable.

A beautiful team running the Milestone is just the beginning of your cafe visit. Amazing coffee, cakes and a great selection for breakfast and lunch. Sit inside or out, plenty of tables and toilets inside.

Great café! The service is friendly and the food is fresh and delicious. Everything made my visit really enjoyable. The only thing missing is free Wi-Fi—it would be perfect if that could be added in the future.

I drove an hour from Bendigo to visit this café, located conveniently next to the apple chocolate factory. The café is clean, well-maintained, and appears to have been recently renovated. The staff were friendly and attentive, adding to the pleasant experience. I ordered an iced café latte, and the taste was incredible. Enjoying it while taking a break at the café made for a delightful experience. I also purchased a 1kg bag of coffee beans for 52 AUD and am excited to try them out on my espresso machine at home.

Nice coffee and matcha tea. Food menu is usual brunch , with eggs avo and Granola stuff. Will try food next time especially congee when available Update Tried congee, Nice big bowl. Liked the chilli oil, and the floss. Steak Sanga was also decent, a bit chewy cos porterhouse cut but ok and chips were good. However the bread under the steak got soggy quick.

Initially a bit unsure about this place, thought people only go because there’s not much other choice in the area, glad we ended up going. Greeted by very friendly staff, all of them had very good energy (that we wish our local cafe would have). I got the steak don, really worth it, filled me up till dinner, very tasty tender steak in combination with well balanced flavors. Recommend to other tourists who are looking for places to eat.

Very attentive staffs. We arrived at around 11.30am and the cafe was full of patrons, we didn’t book a table so hubby asking the front counter staff whether there are table available for 5. The waiter was very attentive, very friendly and helpful. He let us have a table that is booked for later time. We make sure we order our food and finished before 12.30 mark. The food there was absolutely delicious, we order a big breakfast, fish and chips, eggs on toast, hot chocolate and a latte. Delicious big breakfast, fish and chips, & eggs on toast. We were very lucky to be there early. Definitely will visit again. Thank you.
