Why Travellers Stop at Fozigobble Café

Fresh home-style cooking, leafy courtyard grounds, and pet-friendly hospitality off the highway.

  • Ideal Regional Highway Rest Stop

    Situated right off the highway with signal light access, it offers fresh savoury dishes and wholesome snacks that provide an invigorating alternative to roadside bakeries.

    Good half way cafe on our four drive from East Gippsland. Fresh fish on a lovely salad. Healthy and reviving.

  • Convenient Gippsland Waypoint

    Drivers can pause right off the M1 to refresh with fresh air, wholesome lunches, and scenic grounds that easily break up travel fatigue.

    The fresh air was great after a long drive. I’d be happy to stop in Yarragon again as it’s accessible from both directions of the M1 with a signal light.

  • Tranquil Garden Dining Grounds

    Visitors can unwind in peaceful outdoor garden seating shaded by mature trees alongside an organic produce garden and accessible lemon tree.

    Beautiful trees to sit under and help yourself to the lemon tree. What more could you ask for.

  • Dog-Welcoming Courtyard and Portrait Gallery

    Features a relaxed, pet-friendly courtyard garden alongside an interior gallery wall dedicated to framed dog portraits.

    A whole wall filled with dog portraits! 😍 It’s a place that truly celebrates our furry friends, and the pet-friendly garden courtyard made it even better.

  • Proper Loose Leaf Teapot Service

    Traditional loose leaf tea is brewed properly in teapots rather than standard tea bags, providing rich flavour for sit-down dining.

    They also use tea leaves instead of tea bags, which always makes for better tasting tea.

  • Thoughtful Dietary and Scratch-Made Options

    The kitchen caters to plant-based and allergy-sensitive diners with generous gluten-free breads, vegan rolls, and scratch-made relishes.

    Fantastic service! The owner is really friendly and very accommodating to different dietary needs. Coffee is fantastic (had latte with oat milk) and the vegan (sausage) roll with homemade tomato relish is to die for!

    Don’t miss the tagine; perfect balance of nourishing lentils, sweetness and warmth.

  • Eggs Benedict

    I had the most satisfying Eggs Benedict — perfectly poached eggs over wholesome bread with rich, velvety hollandaise.

  • Vegan Sausage Roll

    the vegan (sausage) roll with homemade tomato relish is to die for!
