Outstanding service and food. We were greeted cheerfully at 6.30 am when they opened and the natural Muslie my partner ordered with the fresh fruit was absolutely delicious. My order was the Whipper ( poaced eggs, salmon, Turkish toast with holindaise sauce)and that was also delicious. I love a good coffee and there's didn't disappoint. Wonderful start to anyone's day.

The food was rubbish nah haha only stirring, had breky burger with chips, hard to fault, gooey egg and yummy mozzarella, chips cooked to perfection. Coffee also excellent, generous serves. Up there with best cafes in ballarat, speaking from a local.

What a gem. We were in Ballarat for a week and I'm so happy we found this place the first morning. The interior is clean and modest.....lots of great booths to sit in. The menu has plenty of variety. The breakfasts were just excellent every morning. They poach eggs to perfection and cook yummy beans. The bread is also from a local bakery and has that beautiful homemade softness, with enough crunch and 'bounce'. I loved it and the service was so lovely, welcoming, friendly and super efficient. Thankyou very very much guys. I will be revisiting next trip to Ballarat :-)

I had heard many positive things about this cafe so finally decided to try it for myself. I was definitely not disappointed, the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating The food was delicious! We were able to walk in without a reservation and didn't have to wait long for service or food. Will definitely be back 😊

amazing food and coffee!! good service, everything is amazing

Visited here in Aug 2022.
Really good place for breakfast.
When we travel outside Melbourne, we do not expect too much from cafes (sorry regional cafes mostly disappoint) but this was a welcome surprise.
Menu is straightforward and small. I like it. Do few things but do it well. Food is great. Service is very welcoming.
I will definately visit again when in Ballarat for my soccer games.

Day 2 of our anniversary trip to Ballarat (3 March) we had brunch at this TOP rated place in Tripadvisor and we got:

☕ Latte
🍳 Matt’s Special with Tuki Sausages
🍳 Eggs Atlantic

O M G, this was THE BEST brunch we’ve had on our trip ‼ Coming into the place I wasn’t really sure about the place as the decor was quite dated HOWEVER looking around we instantly knew it was gonna be good bcs soooo many locals were there having their coffee & breakkie (on a weekday?!)

Everything was simple but delivered perfectly! The Potato Rosti we had as a side lingers in our mind and is calling us to come back 😂

We highly recommend this place when you’re in Ballarat! ✨

This place was really comfortable and the service was on point.
It seems very popular which is always a good sign.
My muesli and fruit bowl was fresh and tasty.
Coffee was just right.

Excellent cafe. One of the best I have ever stopped at to have breakfast. Food, service and coffee were faultless. Will come again.

Stopped in for a quick breakfast. The tradies brekky roll is spectacular. The bun is so soft, the ingredients - hash brown, egg, bacon, onions and relish are perfect. Will be back!

Delicious!
Super quick service 😊

Driving through town on our way to the next destination and we had a craving for breakfast, we stopped at Cafe Lekker and straight away got greeted by a very lovely woman at the door (possibly the owner) very cheerful and welcoming.
I ordered the breaky burger with the homemade tomato relish instead of tomato’s and an iced chocolate while my partner ordered the pancakes.
Food came out super quick and well presented on very cute almost hand painted plates with Lekker written in them.
My first bite into the breaky burger was like a flood of memories, I closed my eyes and could taste my mums cooking, the tomato relish was incredible and added so much flavour to the meal. I was extremely happy and I’ve been left wanting more, we will be stopping in again on our next trip.
My partners pancakes also came out looking incredibly well presented, stacked with a thick cream on top, the pancakes tasted fresh, fluffy and delicious.
Thank you so much for our beautiful breakfast.

SJ breaky always a winner !! Kids loved the pancakes. Coffee was spot on and the service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend. Thanks Ben Kim and the team

Needed a coffee and quick breakfast before a concert. Despite being really busy the friendly staff took our orders promptly, coffee arrived in good time, and the meals followed so quickly we were blown away! We had time to enjoy the meal without stress, and enjoy it we did! The baked beans were amazing - rich and delicately spiced. The eggs were perfect with creamy sauces and served on bread which was lightly toasted and soft. Wow! A real jewel!

This is my favorite cafe in Ballarat for breakfast now. Wide-ranging options on the menu, fresh ingredients and stylish presentation.
Cappuccino was of world-class quality and the Spanish Omelette is a precious find if you’re into slightly spicy food.
The staff and I mean ALL of them including the main barista are super welcoming and accommodating even at the busiest hours.

One of our favourite cafes in Ballarat. The menu is unpretentious, straight-forward and the food delicious. The portions are also great value for money (I often need a take-away box).
I highly recommend their tuki sausages, pancakes and the rosti with eggs.
The coffee is also amazing and the staff are friendly and lovely.

Friendly staff, delicious coffee, eggs Benedict had perfectly poached eggs and quality ham on Turkish bread. Highly recommended.

Its not hard to find, plenty of parking, great atmosphere, GOOD Coffee, fast and happy staff providing great customer service and awesome food at a fair price.

My mouth has rarely been so happy.
Service good. Staff friendly. A good vibe and top food, reasonably priced.
