Alba Paloma

Delicious food.. we went for breakfast and were delighted with options served.. happy to see many vegetarian options..

Roadside carpark,need to check for empty space.. located centrally, on the way.. service needs to be a bit quicker.. indoor and outdoor seating arrangements...

Not good for big groups (i.e. over four) but you can split your group between tables and we should've booked ahead in hindsight but I didn't realise it was a more cosy-type cafe.

They do have vegan options and even a vegan chai powder for those wanting a chai latte. Vegan baked beans were good and super filling. I was told that the chips were really good and there were no complaints with their pancake.

The only issue I had is that their bathrooms were out of order. The staff said we could go down to the cafe a few doors down and they would let us use their bathrooms but when I got there, the staff redirected me to the public bathrooms at the end of the street in the opposite direction. I think there may be some communication issues with the two cafes 😬

We had the pleasure of visiting Healesville and discovered a charming coffee den. The coffee was delightful, and their cakes were simply amazing. It's a wonderful spot for anyone looking to enjoy a cozy atmosphere with top-notch treats. Highly recommend a visit for a lovely experience!

Well it’s not the misstep that defines, it’s how it’s handled. It’s always tricky working out how long you should wait before asking where your order is, this time I left it a bit long.
Turns out my toastie went in the toastie and got forgotten. Seems it may have a little too toastie. 😂

But you know what, the staff were really good about it, honest and got it sorted quick stix. TBH they were really lovely, the location was great (and clearly popular, it was very busy) and the chorizo toastie was absolutely scrummo. (That’s a technical term for very, very yummy).
I’ll def be back and highly recommend others do to.
Well done team 👍

Have been here twice recently for coffee and cake. Chocolate brownie served with ice cream was delicious. Cappuccino was also spot on. Service was friendly and quick. Everyone had a job and was doing it. Can sit inside or outside in the street. Will return!

My partner and I stopped in here for a quick bite and a coffee. They served us the most delicious toasties we’ve ever eaten. Super friendly staff and yummy coffee. Quick service, good warm atmosphere.

Fantastic Cafe! The food was fabulous and well priced. Great attentive staff. My only complaint was their was only sour dough bread on offer, would have preferred the regular plain bread available at other cafe's.

I have my morning coffee at Alba almost every day. The staff are super friendly and very helpful. The coffee is consistently excellent and the food is beautifully prepared, presented and super tasty. The atmosphere is warm, inviting and welcoming. It is a smallish, busy and friendly café. The owner, Michelle, is very responsive to her customers requests and creates wonderful food and a warm and relaxed environment to enjoy it in.

I've been to Alba Paloma twice during visits to the Yarra Valley in the last year and both times I came away thoroughly impressed. Both times, the food was outstanding, with excellent menu options, GF and Vegan alternatives, interesting specials and delicious fresh dessert options. Both times, I asked for bacon and eggs with maple syrup and pancakes even though it wasn't on the menu and they happily obliged and made me an excellent custom brunch at a very reasonable price. The coffee is excellent too. Up there with the best I've had in Healesville so far. The staff are all friendly, patient and hard-working.

In the photos you can see the pancakes I mentioned, but also the amazing chili egg bake that they do, which is just one of many fun options they have on their menu.

It can get a little crowded inside, but the vibe is still pretty relaxed and fun. There's also a decent amount of outdoor seating on the street for when the weather is good.

Overall, highly recommended :).

Breakfast the day after a wedding. These guys were put under the pump by our large group appearing on top of their already busy morning and did a great job. The omelette was amazing and great coffee ☕

We stopped on the way to eildon and this cafe was absolutely amazing, even though we ordered an ordinary avocado toast, it was the best one we have ever had. We were served by zach and he was so friendly and welcoming! Definitely recommend!!

Coffee is tops. Great Divide beans so you know the coffee will be good, but also well made. Toasted sandwiches delicious. Staff attentive and helpful. Highly recommend.

Many thanks to Michelle and the great staff at Alba for all there service and yummy coffee and food. We have made this cafe our go to place and look forward to catching up with our friends there. Thanks again Alba for always making us feel welcome!!

My Wife and I went for brunch to this amazing little Cafe in Healesville. Brunch was absolutely amazing and the coffee was brilliant! If you're ever in this part of the world definitely stop in here for a meal and a coffee. I highly recommend it!

Great spot for brunch. Coffee was excellent and my sandwich was hot, fresh and delicious... highly recommend.

I ordered a small batch of catering - some toasties and cakes for my team. Everyone loved the food, Michele's service and responsiveness was outstanding, payment was easy, and the delivery arrived on time. What's not to love? I would highly recommend. P.S. The chorizo toastie is divine.

Our family loves Alba Paloma 🥰 the staff always greet you with a smile, the food is always fresh and delicious and the owner Machele is a lovely person. We come every week and so should you!!! A real Gem of a venue 🙂

We visited for brunch. It looked like it was empty from the outside. Another world entirely when we walked in. Busy little establishment. Great variety of meals, very reasonably priced and the gentleman who served us was excellent. Would highly recommend it.

Such a lovely cafe. Great staff and coffee sublime. Michelle is a fantastic cook.
👌🏽🙌

Awesome vegan granola, fresh orange juice and superb coffee with Bonsoy. What a great way to start the day - and all so fast!
