Izzy's Cafe

Nice pizzas, nice staff. All items other than the pizza's are a bit over priced. I guess they're directing their business towards tourists so they can make a buck or two. For locals who come here to get a coffee or some lunch you don't get a lot for your dollar. I bought a lentil and pumpkin salad and a slice of cake for $18.50. The size of salad container was very small. I'm sure it will be nice but probably not worth the money you pay for it. I had to return the pumpkin salad. It had little taste, had mushy pumpkin and a whole lot of pumpkin skin. Once I bought a cappuccino and it was boiling hot. Once it cooled down it was ok but the staff need to learn make their coffee's at a proper temperature and not scolding hot.

Was staying local for the weekend and was told to check the place out. The staff were under the pump for Saturday dinner rush. We ordered a traditional chicken souvlaki and sweet chicken wrap for dinner and a strawberry milkshake. Though under the pump, the staff greeted everyone really well. Wrap and souvlaki were cooked really well and were delicious. The cafe had a good selection of pizzas, burgers and fish and chips. Local healthy Ice cream collection was something we couldn't try. Multiple type of Macarons were also available and were delicious. If back, would come back and try some of their other offerings.

We dropped in for a late morning breakfast after receiving some recommendations from friends. Whilst the foods we ordered was good, the service was great, and a very good selection of ready made or make to order foods was available it didn't quite meet my anticipated expectations. The vegetarian breakfast was a little short on some items especially the spinach. Maybe I'm just a little fussy these days after experiencing many other restaurants/cafes. If the owners read this I would also recommend changing the brand of drinking chocolate powder, it is pretty ordinary. That aside, I would return there and be specific about what I wanted on my plate. As I said, selections if house made foods, cakes and sweets was great and the ambiance of sitting area with the wood fire warming both room and soul was good. If you do drop in check out their pies and pasties, they looked yummy! My wife enjoyed her Friande also. There was a constant flow of customers while we were there and very few plates returned to the kitchen with leftovers on them.

Stopped here for a quick lunch on way back to Melbourne. Had a Lamb and mint pie, was amazing, the way pies should be, really flavorsome, plenty of real pieces of meat, not just sauce/gravy, pastry nice and crunchy. My partner had a ham-cheese toasted sandwich, toasted to perfection! We were so impressed we bought pumpkin and fetta pies for dinner, they were fantastic as well!!

This place was buzzing (in a very quiet little town) at 9.30 in the morning. Very good coffee. We didn't have the chance to eat there - which was a pity as the food on display looked quite wonderful. Will certainly go back if we are in town again. Pity they don't do dinner (other than pizza, apparently) as we loved the meal we had at its sister restaurant in Koroit a year ago.
