About Salty Groms Cafe

Perched right along the Esplanade, Salty Groms Cafe fuels Lakes Entrance holiday mornings with punchy flat whites and dialed-in brekkie. The surf-shack energy keeps things unhurried, even when holidaymakers pack the sidewalk. regulars zero in on the eggs benny—served deliberately on toasted English muffins rather than teeth-shattering sourdough, drowning in house-made hollandaise alongside jammy yolks and crisp bacon. Out front, dog-friendly tables offer water views while the kitchen pumps out chilli chorizo burritos, freshly pressed orange and ginger juice, and thick stacks of pancakes.

  • Muffin-Based Eggs Benny: Poached eggs and house hollandaise served over toasted English muffins instead of hard-crusted artisan sourdough.
  • Dog-Friendly Esplanade Seating: Sidewalk tables right along the Esplanade cater to diners accompanied by their dogs.
  • Fresh-Squeezed Juices: Made-to-order blends like apple, orange, and ginger complement a rotating breakfast board.

Why Choose Salty Groms Cafe

Why diners and travelers choose Salty Groms Cafe for morning stops in Lakes Entrance

  • Toasted English Muffin Eggs Benedict

    Eggs Benedict is served on well-toasted English muffins rather than tough artisan crusts, layered with house-made hollandaise and perfectly poached eggs.

    the english muffin was toasted well (not tough at all like some sourdoughs)

  • Road-Trip Ready Specialty Coffee

    Baristas deliver top-tier morning coffee with rich caramel notes, offering road-ready energy for travels and walks.

    It was just the yummy caffeine fuelled injection that I needed to assist in packing down accommodation, and the long drive back to Melbourne.

  • Waterfront Esplanade Location

    The cafe provides an ideal seaside rest stop along the promenade to take a break during holiday trips.

    Overall, a nice place to stop by, especially because of its location along the promenade.

Before you head over

Practical guidance for smooth visits, pet-friendly dining, and morning rush timing

  • Secure Outdoor Seating Early When Dining with Dogs

    Outdoor seating can fill quickly during peak holiday mornings, so stop by slightly earlier or speak with staff upon arrival to secure one of the waterfront promenade tables if bringing your pup.

  • Plan for Potential Food Wait Times During Peak Hours

    The cafe is popular during rush periods and dishes can experience delays when full, so allow extra time to relax with a flat white while your food is prepared.

  • Choose the English Muffin Benny for a Softer Base

    If you dislike tough or chewy sourdough crusts, the Eggs Benedict comes served on a toasted English muffin with house-made hollandaise.
