Locals and visitors love Bendigo Tram Cafe for its unique setting inside a restored vintage tram, cosy flower?filled interior and sunny lawn seating. Reviews consistently praise the warm, genuinely friendly service, quick turnaround and relaxed, family?friendly vibe. It is a fun spot to watch trams come and go, start the vintage tram tour, and even let kids try free mini golf or sit in the drivers cabin. An accessible toilet nearby and a peaceful location near Lake Weeroona add to the appeal.
Coffee gets rave reviews, with standouts including magic coffee, mocha with hazelnut, iced coffee and hot chocolate. The menu of light bites hits the mark too, with delicious scones with vanilla bean cream, savoury scones, waffles, croissants, toasties like bacon and egg or ham and cheese, and homemade sausage rolls. Many guests recommend arriving early to snag a seat inside the tram, or enjoying the plentiful outdoor seating on a sunny day.
