Travellers and locals rave about Windmill Cafe's friendly service, fresh feel and relaxed vibe. Reviewers love the coffee, calling it "divine" and "excellent," with favourites like large cappuccinos, iced mochas and milkshakes. The menu gets plenty of praise too, from homemade slices and lemon slice to jelly cake, passionfruit slice, scones, toasties, chicken and cranberry focaccia, Angus beef pies, Turkish rolls and burgers. Portions are generous, food is fresh, and there's something tasty for a quick stop on the road.
People also appreciate the welcoming atmosphere, comfy upstairs armchairs and coffee tables, clean and comfortable space, and easy seating outside under shady trees. It's a convenient spot between Adelaide and Melbourne with public restrooms nearby, and staff are noted as lovely, accommodating and genuinely happy to help. Many say they will definitely be back.
