Reviews
"Perfect spot by the lake for catch-ups with friends or a post-walk treat. I always get the mezze platter to share but all the meals look great! There's something for everyone. The only thing is I like my coffee extra strong so I often order with an extra shot or two, otherwise it is too milky. But otherwise nothing else at fault. Great little cafe, and very relaxing ambiance."
"We got there early afternoon and most of the cakes had already been devoured. The staff were pleasant and the location is outstanding. We will return during warmer weather and I'm sure the experience would equate to a 5 star rating."
"This gem is one of a kind !! Just so good and was surprised with fast food delivery .. and all the menu was just on the spot. Try their salmon, avo smash. Big breaky etc. So classy with typical breakfast and lunch menu. Was glad to choose from vegetarian options . Surprised with everything was made freshly and with lota love.. lake facing dining area will blow your mind for about hour. Plenty seating . Lit parking . The boss is very friendly and let us take group photo too. .keep going .. see you soon."
"Lovely cafe beside the lake. Stunning views from anywhere in the cafe, as all sitting is facing towards Lake Burley Griffin. Went on a Sunday morning to get brunch, lucky to find a parking spot and a table under one of the umbrellas. Lots of people there. Food was amazing. Tastes better than they look. Service was great, too. Friendly staff. Didnt have to wait long before orders arrived despite many patrons. Utensils, serviettes and menu are all ready on the table. Great coffee and those waffles are yum!"
"Went to On Lake Café for my partner's birthday brunch. The food was delicious and the presentation was 10/10 on top of that the beautiful view of the lake was so relaxing. Great customer service and kind staff as they treated us with a cake what a lovely gesture. This place is highly recommended."
