About Mint and Jam

A standout high-country pitstop in Yea, turning out dialled-in ONA specialty coffee alongside fresh, unexpected Southeast Asian street plates. Road-trippers head straight for the courtyard with pork belly bao—complete with crisp pickled veg and peanut powder—or settle by the indoor fire with hot pho broth and house-made relish.

  • ONA Specialty Coffee: Pours dialled-in specialty roasts like ONA's Raspberry Candy blend.
  • Southeast Asian Comforts: Serves pork belly bao, steaming pho broth, and Vietnamese noodle salads alongside cafe classics.
  • Garden Courtyard & Fireplace: A quiet rear courtyard garden away from highway traffic, plus a winter fireplace indoors.

Why Choose Mint and Jam

Why travelers and locals choose Mint and Jam for specialty coffee, nourishing meals, and relaxed hospitality in Yea.

  • Metropolitan-Calibre ONA Specialty Coffee

    Mint and Jam sources specialty beans from ONA, including featured roasts like Raspberry Candy, pulling shots that rival top metropolitan specialty espresso bars.

    The coffee (ONA Raspberry Candy) was prepared as good as, if not better than what I’ve had at ONA Canberra/Melbourne

  • Thoughtful Coeliac and Dietary Care

    The kitchen caters carefully to coeliac and diverse dietary needs with dedicated care, offering gluten-free, dairy-free, and halal choices without sacrificing flavor.

    Heaps of gluten free options. I had the GF bacon & egg sandwich with hashbrown. Staff asked if for coeliac too for extra care.

  • The Ideal Alpine & Country Road-Trip Pitstop

    Situated right on High Street in Yea, the cafe provides the perfect midway recharge point for travelers driving towards Jamieson, Mount Buller, or interstate.

    Hubby and I had a pitstop in Yea on the way to Jamieson and the staff were friendly and relaxed.

  • Authentic Vietnamese and Asian-Inspired Fare

    Beyond traditional cafe fare, travelers can refuel with authentic Southeast Asian specialties, from tender braised pork belly bao to warm pho and fresh Vietnamese noodle salads.

    The pork bao is probably the best I had in Australia. And that’s coming from a Taiwanese guy (the country who invented this dish).

  • Sheltered Rear Garden Courtyard

    Tucked behind the cafe is a peaceful, sheltered garden terrace where guests can dine outdoors away from highway traffic noise.

    Courtyard at the back was sheltered and pretty with autumn colours today
