Had such a lovely time at Country Heart Café in Mooroolbark. It’s a warm, welcoming spot with a real local charm. The coffee was on point (best coffee in town) and the food so fresh and comforting. Staff were super friendly and made the experience even better. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to.

An amazing experience walking in to this beautiful cafe. Their bacon and egg roll was delicious. I will have a great day today when I noticed their amazing note in my coffee. Thank you for your small, but really important effort to welcome your customers ,not just familiar faces but also first time walking in one. Your beautiful smiles on your faces were priceless , much appreciated for a great day you have made it for me.

Great outdoor or indoor seating, very small cafe but the food was great. My only gripe was that my potato hash was more like a zucchini slice? Don't know what happened there. Eggs were perfect and the burger was amazing. Chips were awesome too.

Fantastic service beautiful hot coffee served just the way you ask for it, The buns on the egg and bacon roll are so soft and delicious with perfectly melted cheese and cooked to perfection egg, breakfast this morning was a delight. The only very tiny complaint that can't be helped is it gets really noisy quickly when busy in the cafe beware if you are noise sensitive.

This is one of my favourite local cafes which is always consistent with quality. Today I ordered Scrambled Eggs on sourdough with a side of sauteed spinach ($10 + $3). I also enjoyed a latte ($4.50). The menu and glass cabinet have a fabulous range of low to mid price dishes. Service is always efficient and they are always are happy to help.

Had the most delicious breakfast, so happy to have found this cute gem. Coffee had a delicious lingering taste, loved the breadless breakfast, the portion was generous and everything was cooked perfectly. It was filling but in a healthy feeling way. Chilli scramble was silky and so tasty on the croissant, I could drink that capsicum sauce that came with it :P sooo yum, will be back soon!
