Hamlyn Heights locals head here for scratch-cooked brunch and specialty coffee pulled until 3 p.m.—well past the usual regional cutoff. Exposed brick and hanging greenery set a relaxed pace inside, while the umbrella-shaded courtyard welcomes dogs right through the side gate with treats waiting at the counter. The kitchen handles everything in-house, from slow-simmered pulled pork layered over brioche eggs benedict to house-spiced chicken breast burgers stacked with aioli and hot chips. Plates skew generous and unhurried, backed by properly textured flat whites and warm, house-baked muffins.
- Scratch-Made Kitchen: Meats are prepared from scratch in-house, including tender pulled pork for eggs benedict and house-spiced chicken breast.
- Dog-Friendly Courtyard: Side gate access leads to an umbrella-shaded courtyard with complimentary treats and a pet-friendly crew.
- Extended Afternoon Hours: Full kitchen and coffee service runs through 3 p.m., catering to afternoon road-trippers and late diners.

Eggs Benedict
I’ve been here a couple of times and always end up ordering the eggs benny. The pulled pork on top is tender and almost melts in your mouth.
RL Chicken burger
The chicken burger is one of the best I had in Geelong - it’s a chicken breast and not a patty. It is delicious
Davina Narrainen Vegan Breakfast
Also I got the Vegan Breakfast & it is the best vegan breakfast that I have ever had, so much flavour and thought had gone into it.

The host gave us a banana chocolate muffin since we came from so far away, which was so kind. It rivals the best banana cake we have had in the city and might actually take top spot. Melt in your mouth goodness!!

The honeycomb iced coffee was unreal. Sweet, smooth, and the only thing giving me serotonin that day
