One of my favourite indulgences. Not too many places where you can enjoy great coffee and they also carry a great selection of eclectic giftware. I love taking visitors to Ballarat here - they always leave impressed. Only downside is parking.
This cafe probably serves the best coffee in Ballarat with a good selection of cakes. They also do a couple of light lunches. They have a large gift shop to wander around in and for the kids there is an inside sandpit.
