Locals and travellers rave about Rough Diamonds coffee, with many calling it the best in Warrnambool. People love the batch brew and filter single origins, the smooth espresso from Small Batch, and the consistently friendly, welcoming service. The cosy vibe, sunlit modernist space with parquetry floors, and dog friendly outdoor seating all add to the charm.
Food gets big praise too. Favourites include the bacon and egg roll with red eye BBQ sauce, ham, cheese and pickles toastie, grilled cheese with garlic bechamel, croissant with ham, cheese and tomato, smashed avo with chilli and pickled onions, and the sourdough sandwiches. Sweet tooths mention the passionfruit cake and carrot cake, and there are nods for the hot chocolate and chai. A small, well curated menu that delivers, house made pickles, and quality suppliers like Schulz Organic Dairy and Mork Chocolate round out the appeal.
