Only in Victoria for a day or two and I had a gluten free rueban sandwich here. I was gonna take a photo but after one bite, it was so delicious I absolutely could not stop smashing it directly into my face. The flavours! I don't normally get excited about a sandwich but holy dooly that sandwich was good. This place is ten out of ten and the man who runs the shop is lovely. Thank you!

We happened upon the General Store today, and what a find ! The lovely friendly couple serving us were happy to suggest choices and describe ingredients. There's such a warm welcoming atmosphere for locals and tourists. Our pulled pork panini and crocodile chili pie, both made in-house, were truly DELICIOUS . Don't think this is your typical roadhouse fare, the food here is so much more ! And don't get me started on the vanilla slice !! I would drive from Melbourne city centre for another ! Great value!

Best cafe in Melbourne, food is amazing quality and no cost is spared in preparation. I go here every morning for my coffee and breaky is awesome, the owner bill is abit funny but the other staff make up for this Absolutely would recommend the breaky wrap and duck focaccia

Huge selection of focaccias. Had the spicy duck one and it was the best focaccia I’ve had. Toasted perfectly (not over done but also made sure the toppings inside were actually hot as well) great coffee and friendly service. Highly Recommend this little cafe for lunch.

Customer service was friendly and welcoming Had a long black and the 'big breakfast' Coffee was hot and tasted great! Big breakfast was good portion size. The hash brown was the best I've tasted for a while, poached eggs were a little undercooked but this is just my preference not a criticism. The spinach, mushrooms and bacon were perfect. A hidden gem 'in them there hills' do yourself a favor and grab a coffee and brekkie if you are in the area
