Rise & Grind Takeaway Cafe

Locals and travellers love Rise & Grind Takeaway Cafe for its warm, country-style hospitality, consistently great coffee and made-to-order freshness. Reviewers rave about the long black, mocha, spiced chai and hot chocolates, with many calling it the best coffee around. The menu wins big praise too, from the breakfast burger, big breaky roll and BLT to chicken schnitzel rolls and burgers, hamburgers, bacon and egg rolls and toasties, focaccia, kransky with the lot, chilli sausage rolls and the Steak, Bacon and Cheese Pie. Sweet tooths recommend the house?baked treats, especially the caramel slice, Biscoff slice, lemon slice, cakes, biscuits and peanut brittle, with several noting good gluten free and dairy free options.

The setting is a highlight: a quaint old house converted into a cafe with a relaxed outdoor dining area, picnic benches, verandah and patio, crocheted blankets and dog friendly spaces. People appreciate the friendly smiles, welcoming service, ability to customise orders, phone orders, easy parking for cars and caravans, and its handy location as a stop on the way to Bendigo, Heathcote or along the OKeefe Rail Trail. Consistent coffee, fresh food and genuine, old?fashioned service make this a go-to cafe worth the drive.
