The SandBar Cafe

Love this place. The owner/chef makes delightful food & she is always making new cakes & other surprises. They also have a liquor licence to go alongside those large tasty lunches. Breakfast, brunch, lunch - all taken care of. If you don’t want to cook tonight, grab some great takeaway during this afternoon.

Delicious food indeed. The desserts are to die for. From signature baklava made in house to giant gorgeous homemade muffins( chocs with raspberries is my fav), cakes ,pastries and tortes will tempt you to indulge to the max.
If you are in Mornington Penninsula i would hugely recommend to drop by and indulge your taste buds in this little gem on the culinary scene of the Peninsula.

Came on a weekend morning. There were quite a number of tables seated but we were still able to get a table without waiting. Good coffee, pastries and cakes. As we were not very hungry, we didn't order any main but would look forward to coming back. Service was good and we definitely enjoyed our morning here.

Delicious zucchini fritter 😋
Nice flavours

They have the most amazing Açai bowls! Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend a visit to Sandbar, the staff were so lovely!

Came for brunch. Place busy but staff attentive. Food lived up to expectations. The boss I think checked that everything was ok. It was a bit noisy but that’s because there were a number of customers

Had a lovely experience at Sandbar Cafe. Lovely food and staff!

Great people, yummy Mediterranean food. Held my drinks for me. Happy and welcoming people, friendly and genuine care. Check them out ASAP

Amazing service, amazing food, I will100% be coming back again. The new owners are just wonderful.

Coffee was absolutely perfect! Ordered another one so I could enjoy my ride back, thank you !

I was in the area and desperately needed my morning coffee fix whilst running behind schedule. This was my first visit to the sandbar since the sites last owner moved on. I was pleasantly impressed! Greeted with a bright, clean and open decor, QR code clearly greeting you as you entered the café.

Pricing was reasonable for a small latte and i didn't need to wait long for my takeaway coffee. Well done guys.
