About The Lime Box Cafe & Food Hub
Welcome to The Lime Box Cafe & Food Hub, a delightful establishment located at 18 Golden Green Street in Pakenham, Australia. As a cafe, food hub, and point of interest, we strive to provide our customers with a relaxing and tasty local cafe experience. What sets us apart is our dedication to training and employing young apprentices and trainees from our community. Our youth team, led by Sous Chef James Collard, works diligently to ensure that every visit to our cafe is a memorable one.
At The Lime Box Cafe, we want our customers to embark on a "Tastebud Holiday." We believe in serving simple and delicious food made from premium and locally sourced farm ingredients, all while keeping our prices as low as possible. We take pride in offering seasonal innovations that will tantalize your taste buds.
In line with our commitment to promoting health, nutrition, and wellbeing, we go above and beyond to provide a range of dietary options. Whether you're dairy-free, gluten-free, or vegan, we have something for everyone. Our goal is to cater to the diverse needs of our customers, both young and old.
Coffee lovers will be delighted with our premium crafted coffee, which has become a hit among serious coffee enthusiasts. We offer a variety of milk options, including almond, soy, oat, lactose-free, and non-dairy alternatives. If coffee isn't your preference, we also serve hot chocolate, specialty teas, healthy fruit smoothies, and milkshakes.
Start your day off right by pairing your morning coffee with a bacon and egg roll, toastie, or yogurt parfait. Our lunch options change daily and include mouthwatering pies, pizza, chicken wings, chicken wraps, toasties, and toasted focaccias.
As you step into The Lime Box Cafe, you'll be greeted by the tantalizing aroma of freshly baked croissants, gourmet gluten-free muffins, and other delectable sweets and desserts. Indulge in one of our culinary creations while enjoying a crafted coffee.
In addition to being a thriving cafe, The Lime Box Cafe is an innovative community food-centred initiative. Developed in partnership with Cardinia Shire Council and the Cardinia Community Food Hub, we are dedicated to providing youth training and employment opportunities in the food and catering industry while serving the needs of our local community.
Hopeworks Community Solutions, a women-led social enterprise, plays a significant role in our operations. Through their traineeships and employability skills programs, they have helped over 450 trainee graduates, donated more than 60,000 meals to local charities, and provided clothing to those in need. We are proud to be part of this incredible initiative.
None of our youth training, cafe, and food hub projects would be possible without the generosity and support of our community partner organizations. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Hopeworks Community Solutions, Cardinia Shire, Sustain Australia, The Blessed Collective, Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA), Salvation Army, SecondBite, Nandos, Aldi, Windermere, Pakenham Racing Club, The Office Club, and The Cardinia Club. If you or your organization would like to become a Community Partner, please reach out to us.

Reviews of The Lime Box Cafe & Food Hub
"Please visit this cafe excellent food and coffee right beside the entrance to Cardinia Rd Station with parking outside excellent staff it’s situated in Village Way Pakenham enter from Henry Road towards the station it’s on the right first shop well signed with placard"
"I’m sorry to say but the team member that served us requires some support in their customer service. Also the coffees definitely tasted like they were made with UHT milk and the coffee was burnt. We chose this cafe due to the google reviews but I am very unsure how it was so high."
"Best coffee in the area. Friendly people and right near the train station."
"Very nice and cozy cafe, friendly staff, amazing coffee! Pity that they are closing so early. Will definitely recommend to others!"
