Good Food Emporium

It’s been a long time since I’ve walked into a cafe and from the get go had exceptional customer service. Whether it be in the store or the cafe the staff are 5 star.

Illume cafe has a great variety of food and my son that has food allergies can safely eat here! I’m so happy that there is somewhere close to home that can cater for our needs, and are so warm and friendly to our family when we dine in the cafe. Thanks illume for a well thoughtout and delicious menu. Happy to have found our local!

I only wish this place was closer 😔 I spent 40 mins driving here last week. What an incredible place. So impressed with the size & array of products. Cafe is so lovely with massive windows looking out over green fields. Lovely menu full of healthy vegan goodness. Staff very warm and attentive. Suggestion to have info on what the huge amount of sweets in the glass section so instead of staff having to explain every customer what is what.
Spent up a treat on loads of amazing foods, many I have t found anywhere else.
I’d be happy if another store opened closer to town. Very impressed.

Oh my goodness. What an amazing place. Stopped for a quick cuppa and walked out an hour and a half later. So much to browse at, such a huge variety. The bread! The plants! The fridges full of amazing food and drinks. Sit outside on the picnic blankets with your dog. Coffee is divine. Will be back.

What can I say, I'm vegan and I love delicious food and great coffee! Plus, they have all my favourite foods/supplements & skin products under one roof! The atmosphere is mellow, the staff are efficient & friendly

Had one of the best coffees I have had for ages! Airy and spacious cafe. A variety of seating - tables, couch, bar stool or outdoor. A nice selection of cakes. I loved the power point with USB charging sockets at window table - great place to come and work or recharge!

A shop with everything. Good quality vegan foods wine and other things for the house. Small choice of fruit and veg.mostly organic. Also in here a relaxing cafe, sit in or outside , live hanging plants, great coffee.

As a consumer on a plant based diet I was excited to be introduced to this amazing place. It has everything I could ever want for my lifestyle They offer a restaurant with delicious food encompassing plants and turning them into yummy meals. Particularly loved the bulk food section, the fact that you can weigh your own nuts, seeds, flours and yummy chocolate treats into paper bags, saving on plastic.
Fresh produce too and the bananas were cheaper than the supermarket!
Great selection of vegan cheeses and deli items.
And so much more including homewares, soaps, books, teas....great to shop here for a gift for that hard to buy for person.
If this store was closer I would be a regular weekly shopper.

Illume cafe, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, best coffee in Melbourne!

Great vibe, very chill, very zen. The best staff you could ask for, always very welcoming and happy to have a chat.

I’m probably the furthest thing from vegan but even I am slowly being converted, the food is that good…

Whether Sean is making you the strongest latte you’ll ever have, Jess is squeezing the freshest juice you’ve ever tasted, Tahlia is sharing a funny story from earlier that day or Shania is making you second guess why you haven’t dived into Yoga classes yet, you are sure to have a great time at Illume Cafe!

Come for the coffee, stay for the people :)

We came for lunch which was delicious and very reasonably priced, the presentation was also on point, we had the coffee which was perfect too, the barista here clearly knows what they’re doing. After lunch we decided to buy some quality food, plenty of vegan and vegetarian options and health food alternatives, amazing variety.
One of the best places to visit with a friend and to start a better living grocery shop, so glad we have this locally!

We absolutely love this place! Food is impeccable and so convenient having fresh produce and eco friendly products.
I think we come here at least 2 X a week

I've been coming here on a regular basis and have always had a great experience. The food is always delicious.

I wanted to specifically mention Shenaya (I hope I spelt that correctly), one of the waitresses who has been extremely friendly and easy to talk to. Her friendly demeanour and bright smile made me feel very welcomed. Thank you so much for making such a special morning for me and my boyfriend (who flew interstate to visit me) when we came in for breakfast.

It was also very thoughtful of her to give me a small gift to say goodbye as I am moving interstate soon. I hope she is recognised for her outstanding customer service.

Thank you 😊

Good Food Emporium is a great spot to get fresh organic groceries, freshly squeezed organge juice, supps and pantry staples.
The connected cafe, “Illume” is my favorite place to grab a chai, coffee or hot choc and a snack. The staff throughout are what makes the place so awesome. Always friendly, helpful and up for a little chat. Well worth the visit.

Excellent venue and ambience. Staff are really friendly and service is great. Good food and reasonable prices. The black pudding is super tasty and very filling! Nice chill out spots too. Highly recommended :)

My favourite cafe and store!!
There is so much to love about this place, from the energy and environment that you walk in to, the friendly customer service and the arrange of products on offer. I love the convenience of buying brands I used to buy online, the organic produce and all the allergen friendly food I could ever want (fellow coeliac) Plus it’s the best place to buy unique gifts that people will appreciate.
It’s a must visit for Victorians !

Extremely good food and menu. Loved the overall service and taste too.

I do feel that weekend afternoon could be overwhelming for the staff to cope with excess visitors/customers. Definitely will return and would recommend. In addition it also has healthy supplement, organic food and variety to purchase.

Hope it remains this way forever.

Amazing place to shop for high-quality products showcasing heaps of Victorian and artisan brands. The store is full of helpful staff. The in-store cafe is a must visit.

Phenomenal range of vegan, alternative diet, and health food products. They sell some naturopathic junk, but so does every health food store. They have a fully vegan cafe too, which is another great reason to stop by.

The food and coffee at Illume cafe is the bomb! So many vegan and gluten free options! Great menu with a variety of choices. Highly recommended

Have plenty of time up your sleeve, so you can check out what's in the aisles. I arrived a little early for breakfast, so wandered around checking out the goods, then did it again after coffee, scramble and chai. Now I'm hooked!

Friendly staff in store happy to help, with a good range of products. The cafe has a great variety of delicious food and tempting sweets with an open, sunny and cozy dining area.
