Vegas Rose - Hampshire Road, Sunshine

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.

We have had many visits over the years and always very good. Great coffee! Very good food. The only problem is that they are often so busy that I can't get in to check out the music. Oh well. Picky, I know. Sorry.

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.

Pretty top food. I had some chilli prawn pasta which was amazing. Such good clean food. Really taste and really fresh. I also had an apple cake and a coffee with was also really great. Worth travelling to Ballarat for! Amazing service staff as well. Super friendly!

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.
