About Nancy's of the Valley

This colorful Yarra Junction outpost refuels valley travelers with hearty seasonal plates and house-brewed chai. Mismatched seating and handcrafted pottery give the sun-dappled courtyard and back nooks an easy, lived-in feel. The kitchen takes dietary care seriously—swapping in quality gluten-free bread and proactively warning coeliac diners about shared fryers. Morning regulars rely on strong locally roasted Silva flat whites alongside potato fritters layered with beetroot hummus or a stack of apple hotcakes.

  • Handcrafted Pottery & Retro Nooks: Plates and warm drinks arrive on bespoke pottery across sunlit courtyard tables and cozy indoor reading nooks.
  • Dietary-Conscious Kitchen: Staff proactively flag fryer cross-contamination for coeliacs and serve reliable gluten-free and vegan options.
  • Specialty Coffee & Brewed Chai: Locally roasted Silva beans pair alongside leaf-brewed spiced chai pots and turmeric Golden Calmers.
