About LOT 88 on the park

Overlooking open greenery in Dandenong South, this airy industrial-precinct escape pairs park views with polished cafe dining. Inside, high ceilings and quiet corners draw local workers and clients away from the truck noise for smooth flat whites and midday meetings. The kitchen delivers serious substance—think ham, halloumi, and egg breakfast burgers on brioche, citrus-bright smashed avocado, and plates of chilli garlic prawns. Because it holds a liquor license, long client lunches easily transition from sparkling water to beer and wine.

  • Parkside Outlook: Floor-to-ceiling parkland views offer an unhurried, natural counterpoint to the busy industrial surrounds.
  • Licensed Dining: A full drinks list complements sit-down midday plates like grilled chicken and the daily fish catch.
  • Client Meetings & Events: Ample square footage and private catering packages handle corporate sessions and milestone gatherings.

The LOT 88 Advantage

Why professionals and locals choose LOT 88 on the park for daytime dining, meetings, and events

  • Expertly Crafted Coffee & Daytime Menus

    High-quality breakfast and lunch dining redefines what is possible within an industrial estate, highlighted by expertly pulled espresso.

    Smooth, rich and expertly made – the sort of coffee that makes you immediately order a second cup.

  • Licensed Lunch Experience

    Unlike typical industrial takeaway spots, LOT 88 pairs a full sit-down lunch menu with a wide selection of alcoholic drinks.

    A coffee shop next to the park offers a wide variety of alcoholic beverages and, in my opinion, is currently a very good lunch spot in this industrial area.
