L'espresso

What a find!!! This cafe is just brilliant. A warm inviting atmosphere on a cold Ballarat day. The coffee is no less than perfect and you won't be able to stop at just one. Devine cakes and pastry made freshly on premises. The savoury menu is extremely well thought out, complex while fresh. Sardines with potato rosti for me. Polite, friendly and attentive staff. Music themed for added interest.

I’ve visited here after reading the positive reviews. Great to see that they are adhering to their Covid plan. I wanted a takeaway cafe and was served outside. Inside was reserved for people who were eating or having a sit down coffee. The food that was being served looks delicious. They had savoury and sweet takeaway meals at the window as well as our side in containers. Coffee was good.

Simple, classic cafe in Ballarat Ham, cheese, tomato and pesto toastie: The toastie was nice and warm, the fillings were average but the bread for toastie has got to be the crispiest bread I have had till this date, which made me go in for more bites Coffee: If your like your coffee strong, this is the place for you Vibe/environment: The fresh pastries at the front to the vinyl records and CDs transports you to the simple times. The aesthetic may not be for the younger generation, but you can see the place has history Service: I was serviced well but nothing more than that.

ABSOLUTE GEM IN CENTRAL BALLARAT We went out hunting for breakfast early on a Sunday morning and found L'espresso open from 8 am :) It's Italian themed and is very cozy inside (it was 6 degrees the early spring morning we ate there!) and would be equally delightful at the al fresco tables in the warmer weather. Menu is very expansive with great options for vegetarian and vegan customers. Coffee is about the best I've had outside my usual haunts in Melbourne! Staff were really bubbly and attentive. People with mobility issues will be fine as its all on one level floor.
