About Pops Cafe Bar

Generous morning plates meet an easygoing village rhythm at Mount Eliza's Pops Cafe Bar. Morning regulars flock here for hefty breakfast spreads—think bacon and egg tucked into warm Turkish rolls, fluffy pancakes, and proper espresso. Out front, sidewalk tables catch village foot traffic under broad umbrellas, but head straight past the counter to find the real draw: a spacious, shaded rear courtyard built for slow brunches, large family groups, and four-legged companions. Service moves briskly with genuine warmth, pouring pots of loose leaf tea alongside morning coffees without any pretension.

  • Spacious Rear Courtyard: Tucked away behind the cafe, the shaded courtyard provides ample room for family gatherings, big groups, and dogs.
  • Hearty Village Breakfasts: Morning regulars count on hearty bacon-and-egg Turkish rolls, large breakfast plates, and proper loose leaf tea alongside espresso.

  • Carefully Brewed Loose Leaf Tea

    Rather than relying on commercial pre-packaged tea bags, tea drinkers are treated to full-flavoured loose leaf blends.

    My tea was loose leaf not a tea bag which, as a tea drinker is a big plus as the flavour is quite different.
