Travellers love Kafe Koala as a friendly Great Ocean Road pit stop with excellent coffee, top?notch decaf and a menu that ranges from tasty burgers and veggie burgers to fish and chips, pies, an egg and bacon roll, chocolate miso cake and a white chocolate raspberry muffin. Reviewers praise the warm, helpful service, generous portions and relaxed atmosphere, plus plenty of outdoor seating and parking. There's also a handy gift shop with souvenirs and postcards.
A big highlight is the wildlife: staff happily give clear directions to nearby koala spots, you'll often hear or see koalas and colourful parrots around the cafe, and they even lend out binoculars for free with ID. With the beach just across the road and a pleasant river walk nearby, it's a great place to refuel, grab a coffee and enjoy the local nature.
