This place is grouse and they do the best coffee but even all the staff here are grouse. Really friendly nice ladies that give the best service each and every single time you go there. There’s just no faulting this place. Sit inside and have a coffee and something eat or sit outside at there table and chairs. Grouse little joint this this thanks to all the brilliant staff here for your top service and friendly service from Neal the truck driver you know who I am. Will be in for a brew on my way out in a minute to so I’ll see you’s soon

Keep going back! Love the relaxed atmosphere, food is trendy, delicious and well priced. My fourth time in the menu has been updated with more options added, great to see the business is growing. The chicken sandwich is amazing, my favourite on the menu, super cute that it now comes with a handful of salt and pepper crisps too, I’ll go back time and time again for it. Coffee is also great.

How lucky are we in Somerville! This new cafe and general store is an absolute treasure for our community! Open early in the glow of their sweet festoon lights, the coffee and chia pudding, or banana bread “to go” won’t disappoint! Perfect lunch or brunch spot! Or they have the “skip” app, so you can order your coffee as you leave your house, and it’s ready with your name on arrival! Pram and wheel chair friendly, high chairs, pooch parking (places to clip your dogs lead) and doggie water out the front, they really have thought of everything! We came today for chilli scramble and eggs your way, stayed for a latte and cheesecake and left with bananas, milk and bread! The staff working were experienced and friendly. Coffee/Food. 11/10. Parking, Dogs, Babies, Dine in or swing by for a takeaway. You can see they have put so much in their attention to detail, with outdoor dining covered by their pergola and shaded by the cute umbrella’s. This place is going to be very busy before you know it, so save the number in your phone, cause you’ll need to make a booking soon enough!

Love Somerville General Store. Excellent homey/rustic vibe. Good coffee. Small selection of food options, but sometimes i find smaller selection is better so you're not staring at the menu for 20 mins. My personal favourite is the Haloumi brekky burger. Great to take the kids here. They're very kid friendly and accommodating. Toilet available for use which is very handy with toilet training kids. Friendly staff who are good at what they do. Definitely a fave regular spot for me!

And I’ll drink anything if I have to, but I can’t find a better coffee anywhere than what the team make here. And I have tried. I’m not quite sure how they do it. Keep up the amazing work team.
