The Local Press Lilyfield

Charming local village cafe located in suburban Lilyfield. It was practically empty when I visited for Monday morning breakfast around 10am, so the wait time was minimal. Their smashed avo was a pleasant dish which was well prepared and quite tasty. Poached egg is extra. The outdoor alfresco seating looks welcoming particularly during the warmer months.

Great place with good vibes. Amazing coffee, delicious food, lovely staff. The best Halloumi I’ve ever tried. Such a great selection of breakfast and lunch.

We dropped in for breakfast and left disappointed. The bacon and egg bun was fine - hard to mess that one up - but the chilli scrambled eggs were more like a squashed omelette with chilli oil on top. The real letdown was the coffee - honestly the worst we’ve had in a long time. The coffee in the photo was what I got delivered to the table - I hadn’t taken a single sip yet! On top of that, the atmosphere was chaotic and stressful, not the kind of Sunday vibe we were hoping for. Won’t be coming back.

I only had a fresh juice drink here which was good. So I can't comment on the food or its quality. The 5 stars is for the very welcoming and lovely service from the staff, mainly the lady who was there at the time of our visit. It's great to have this shop in this area that doesn't have many other options.

Really awesome cafe with awesome staff. They absolutely nailed the breakkie stack with their Local Press Stack. My partner got the Big Press Breakky with scrambled eggs and a perfectly brewed long black coffee. Happy. 💛
