Exceptional food & service, gorgously presented. Very accomodating for gluten and diary free. The BEST kids cheesburger ever! Consistently great coffee.

Without doubt one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time. Great, prompt service. Friendly staff and great value. Also caters to our coeliac child with great gluten free buns. Really happy to support such a great local business.

Beautiful service! Cara our server was a delight. Quite easily the best breakfast I’d had on my trip to the area. Food was well priced for the quality & taste. I was able to enjoy a delicious gluten free meal- hats off to the chef! Highly recommend a stop here. Converted church and the atmosphere was so pleasant. Kids area out the back with table settings which is so great for parents coming out with the kids. Other table settings away from the kids area for the quiet kid free customers too! Great kids menu too! All round top place to add to your list when visiting the area!!

Olinda Creek Hotel had a great atmosphere and excellent service. Eden provided great assistance regarding a gluten allergy. Will definitely come again

A long and overdue review…. By far the best Thai restaurant you will find in Melbourne. Not only prices are very fair and also a very good selection of Gluten Free dishes. Delicious and will not go anywhere else.

I had the Naughty Brisket, and it was incredible. They do gluten free buns too if you ask. The Dirty Brisket looked next level and was demolished by my friend. The smoked dim sims were also highly rated!

Lovely food. So many Gluten Free options on the menu.

A Cafe with flavoursome breakfast menu till 3 pm & one that Does Not, repeat - does not whack you with a Sunday surcharge!! Delightful setting on a small park- alfresco dining is the way to go. Tables outside are cleaned promptly which is also a plus. Cappuccino was great & so was my fav mashed Avo on multigrain toast. Enjoyed 2 diff cakes on offer - pistachio topped + passionfruit GF gluten free to share. These were the best we have had in a while @ $10.50 each for a chunky slice. Service was prompt & friendly. Not overly crowded yday - Aust Day 2025. A great place to adjourn to after our hour long walk at nearby Lilydale Lake - 5 mins drive away. Free parking on side street. There is a small Museum attached to Cafe but something to do on the next visit..😊

We haven’t been here for over a year since a family member was diagnosed with coeliac disease and knowing that Coeliac’s are tricky to cater for when eating out. We haven’t really been out to eat due to this but a birthday dinner was the reason. But……the supervisor in the bistro was amazing and went beyond for us with the chef to cater for the coeliac family member. She feasted on a delicious plate of garlic prawns, confidently knowing the chef and the supervisor were all over it and were cautious. Even letting the girl know, who took our order to put coeliac next to the coeliac order and then double confirming with the chef that it was all good. The rest of us enjoyed Parma and Thai beef salad. I feel so confident in returning to the bistro with my coeliac family member and being able to enjoy a meal without fear. Thank you. We had delicious meals and a beautiful night. Kudos to the chef and the supervisor.

10/10 on every front. The food is delicious, well-priced and there are plenty of Vegan and Gluten Free options. The staff are very knowledgeable on dietary requirements and incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere is lovely. Easily my favourite cafe in Lillydale. Will be back many more times :)
