We love CBD! Vegan and gluten free options are available! They even have vegan icecream so make delicious milkshakes and thickshakes (rather than flavoured milk that my daughter usually just ends up with!) The vegan hot chocolate is always delicious! The toasties, hot chips, pulled pork eggs benny and vegan apple cakes are favourites! Great customer service! 10/10!

Absolutely wonderful little alcove, they have the most delicious English breakfast tea and the girls working have some of the nicest and friendliest customer service, and they are always happy to give their opinions and recommendations about the food if you are unsure. Simply wonderful and enjoyable environment!

We found a hidden gem in Ballarat. Jesse is warm and welcoming. The coffee is fabulous. The food is absolutely beautiful. It's healthy, tasty, and well presented. I'm a fussy eater and loved my food.
