About Arch View Cafe

Catch views of the Arch of Victory over morning coffee and fresh bakes pulled straight from the oven. Locals make a routine of the house-baked cinnamon, strawberry, and tiramisu scrolls alongside a solid long black. Out front, a dog-friendly perimeter welcomes morning road-trippers and post-walk pups with sunny outdoor tables. Parents catch a breather thanks to dedicated kids' options and staff who happily step in to comfort restless toddlers. Settle in by the window with smashed avo dressed in beetroot hummus, or snag a warm mushroom toastie on the way out of town.

  • Arch of Victory Sightlines: Indoor and outdoor tables look directly out toward Ballarat's historic Arch of Victory.
  • House-Baked Daily Scrolls: Cinnamon, strawberry, and tiramisu scrolls baked on premises each morning.
