I recently stopped in for a hamburger and chips and I quite please with the food served up. Burger meat cooked to perfection on a lightly toasted bun. Lettuce and tomato quite fresh. Golden brown chips were sprinkled with chicken salt. Better than most cafes or fish and chip shops. A real treat on a nice sunny Sunday afternoon.
In Avoca today we called in for a quick meal at the Home Made Café in the main street. It was lunchtime and the place was jumping. We found the service excellent and the staff friendly and welcoming. All the meals we ordered were just excellent and we would return. Well done to the team!!!
FANTASTIC PLACE FOR LAY BACK QUIET BRUNCH COFFEE IS AWESOME THOROUGHLY RECOMMEND IT IF YOU ARE IN AVOCA.
Loved Avoca's Home Made Cafe. Staff were super friendly and highly skilled at making a GREAT coffee. Staff so very friendly that they humoured Mr 10 who asked for a ham and chicken sandwich without a blink - yet I was still picking my shocked chin up off the floor Highly recommended even if it's a quick stop. Excellent at COVID restrictions without changing the relaxed atmosphere. Thanks so very much for your service - I'll definitely return
This place is impressive. All prepared on the premises by the owner. Staffed today (16th Jan 21) by a couple of fun, sassy, ladies who know their way around a kitchen. I ordered up big on gluten free items because I'm not good on the gluten. They had a whole separate display cabinet for GF. 1st I had the Pepper steak pie. The pastry was wonderful and the filling had been made with love, flavour and time+++. I think it was the best pie I have ever had. I also demolished an orange and almond cake and a lemon curd tart. The tart was particularly good. They even had lactose free milk for my latte. There is a spacious dining area as well that I wasn't expecting. I was surprised to see lots of other GF items on the menu. There were plenty of tables out the front and an unusual $1 Covid cleaning charge to sit down. I see some diners have whined about that but the signs are clear and it is only a dollar. It costs money to wait tables and a user pay system for people to clean up after you isn't unfair. This is not your average bakery in a far flung rural farming community.
Best eggs Benedict I've ever had. And my partner had the big breakfast which was perfectly done. Home cooking just like being at your grandparents. Lovely cafe. Very clean and very friendly. Will definitely stop in to eat again when going through town
This is my first time to drink cafe. Although I am not sure the cafe is good or bad but...I order the latte and the best eat with Brownie cake. It's really good cake! And we sit on the outside closer the sunshine to getting warm in the winter is the good day for us.recommended it!!
Definitely the best food around be sure to stop in you won't regret eating here friendly staff and great food my personal favourite is the salt n pepper calamari with chips and fresh coleslaw, the coleslaw is amazing
