Book NowAbout Laneway Espresso
Laneway Espresso pairs top-tier Mornington Peninsula coffee with generous coastal breakfasts just across from the Dromana foreshore. Settle into the eclectic front rooms packed with 1970s retro memorabilia and antique furniture, or head upstairs to catch bay views through wide sunlit windows. The kitchen turns out breakfast tacos, truffle mushrooms heaped with crispy kale, and thick bacon benedicts alongside a steady run of iced Mont Blanc coffees. Outside, sidewalk tables welcome morning dog walkers fresh off the sand.
- Second-Floor Sea Views: A dedicated second-floor dining area offers wide windows facing the bay for relaxed daytime dining.
- Retro Antique Decor: Interiors are styled with curated antique furniture, vintage wall decor, and 1970s nostalgia.
- Dog-Friendly Outdoor Seating: Street and laneway tables provide open-air seating for guests dining with dogs after the beach.
