Future Cafe - Halal

This is truly a hidden gem in Colac’s Main Street. The atmosphere is nice and reflects its Lebanese heritage.The food here is incredible. The Macadamia gluten free Cheesecake is simply to die for! It was so fresh, so smooth and delicious, topped with a little white chocolate just for good measure. The lunch consisted of triangles with a reasonably finely chopped fresh salad consisting of tomato, parsley, herbs and finely sliced lamb, topped with house made garlic sauce, with the traditional spices. My goodness, the taste was just so refreshing and tasty on a hot day. The main thing I must recommend that people try out is the owners Chai latte. Being a Melbournite, I thought I was expert level in the chai tasting department.Not so as it turns out. The owner is the BEST chai latte maker on the planet. Super delicious and better balanced than any chai I have ever ordered between Colac, Melbourne, Copenhagen and San Francisco!! I ended up ordering three in total and I was actually sad to awake back in Melbourne the next day because it was such a long drive to get another chai latte and lunch from Future Cafe! I honestly recommend that anyone with discerning tastebuds visit Ashraf at this gorgeous gem of a cafe. Happy Chai latte day coming up for you lucky visitors!!🫶🏻

Back in early May my husband and I were on holidays (before lockdown!), and we had to drive to Colac to get a blood test done. While we were there I needed to get us something vegan and gluten free for lunch. Future cafe were so amazing - we called ahead and they made us these amazing balls and she suggested this beautiful chutney as well. She made this for us at breakfast time even though it wasn’t on the menu until lunch. I was so, so grateful. It was ridiculously delicious and filling that here I am at 5:35am, 4 months later on, dreaming about it and it woke me up so I had to post this review!
