About WILD WOMBAT Cafe

Perched opposite Hurstbridge station, this breezy spot plates up hearty morning classics and crisp espresso on a dog-friendly front deck. Regulars swear by the relaxed township hospitality, settling in for a lazy "2nd brekky" after riding into town or catching the early train. Inside couches offer calm respite, but the real draw is soaking up the sun out front over plates of French toast with banana, savoury breakfast crepes, or eggs scrambled with feta alongside house relish and thick-cut smoked bacon.

  • Pet-Friendly Verandah: Spacious outdoor deck seating warmly accommodates dogs with water provided.
  • Hearty Morning Fare: From breakfast crepes to house-made relish, thick-cut bacon, and banana French toast.
  • Contactless Table Ordering: Convenient table service powered by a smooth digital ordering setup.

  • Hearty, House-Made Brunch Dishes

    From freshly prepared breakfast crepes to specialty poached eggs and thick-cut smoked bacon, breakfast is crafted with care using quality local ingredients.

    The service was great, the coffee was excellent and the food was delicious. We shared the breakfast crepe and the crumbed poached eggs, bacon and avocado. We enjoyed both.

    The large coffees come in a big glass, but my latte was very well made.
