Fruits of the Forest

Fruits of the Forest is a local favourite for fresh, made-to-order drinks and tasty bites. Reviewers rave about the smoothies and juices, calling out the banana and oat smoothie, banana protein shake, mango smoothie with frozen yoghurt, breakfast smoothie, berry and coco banana smoothie and the Refresh juice. The toasties get huge praise too, especially the vegan toastie, the gluten free toastie and the roasted pumpkin with Meredith goat cheese. Visitors also love the ice cream, gelato, sorbet and frozen yoghurt, noting generous scoops, great flavours like Skittles gelato, and the rare perk of unlimited tastings. Many mention good value, fresh ingredients prepared in front of you and a happy buzz in the shop.

Service is consistently described as friendly, fast and welcoming, with several reviews highlighting generous portions and kind staff who make the experience memorable. People recommend it as a must-visit in Lorne for a post-beach treat, whether you are after toasties, Cubanos, smoothies, milkshakes or a cone. The owners experience and skill behind the smoothie counter also get a special nod.
