Ever since Nav and the team took over 11 months ago this cafe has really turned a corner and the food is so good now! And the menu is extensive. The slow cooked lamb is my new favourite breakfast in the hills! The coffee is consistently great too. Has become our Sunday morning hangout after kids’ swimming

We were greeted very warmly and the service was quick and polite. Communication was not a difficulty at all and the overall experience was pleasant. The pricing of the food was also fairly affordable and the portions were a perfect balance. I would definitely come back again.

Stopped by Lakeside Cafe for a bite to eat and coffee and was absolutely astounded at the speed and quality of the Lakeside Brekkie Roll with Triple Shot Vanilla Latte and Portuguese Tarts! My companion enjoyed the Corn Fritters with Smoked Salmon very much too. Everything about this experience, from the food, the service with smiles, the quality of the presentation and the flare with which the food was presented, just stood out as high level impressive! I cannot fault this place, And everything about it is worth a five star review Congratulations Lakeside Cafe keep up the Outstanding Work!!

A generous 4 stars. While the coffee was delicious and the atmosphere was funky and inviting, there was a noticeable delay between my breakfast and my husband’s arriving. It also felt like takeaway orders were being prioritised, even though I ordered first. Nevertheless, the venue is cute and has a great vibe. We’re not locals and will probably never visit again, but it’s a lovely spot worth checking out if you’re in the area, coffee seriously great !

Nice spot in the area by the lake. You can enjoy a good food and a nice view at the same time. It’s usually not very crowded. Staff are friendly and polite. You have a variety of options for breakfast and lunch.
