Bluestone Cafe Ballarat

Excellent food and coffee! Friendly, fast service and authentic Indonesian food freshly cooked on site. Small but cozy cafe run by a man and a woman, plenty of space and good for meeting with friends, as we did, how you can talk without calling to hear. Will definitely come back!

Just had the best meal here, always drive past this cafe as we live just down the road but first time here. We ordered the nasi goreng, Soto Ayam, chai latte and New York cheesecake. Right off the bat, the cafe is so cute and the owner is so lovely. There was a lovely gentleman playing acoustic guitar and singing beautiful songs like Hallelujah, Jolene, Can't help falling in love. So sweet. The food was absolutely delicious and authentic, the homemade sambal was to die for!! The owner asked what temperature we would like the latte, such attention to detail. It tasted fantastic. He also gave us extra ice cream and strawberries with our cheesecake. They only take cash so make sure to bring cash! New favourite place in ballarat, make sure to visit if you're here! Will visit again often, love this place.

My mother-in-law and I stopped her for a takeaway coffee on a visit to Ballarat and left with bright smiles on our faces. Wonderful chap behind the coffee machine who we had a good chat to : rare to get service like that these days. Definitely worth a visit

Delicious food and good coffee. We had the Nasi Goreng and the Soto Ayam. Extraordinarily friendly and helpful host. Cash only.

This cafe lives up to its high rating. It was so refreshing to have Indonesian elements on the menu. My husband and I were very happy with our selections: the lamb curry and an Indonesian fried chicken dish. The interior has been tastefully decorated, with the owner having had work done to expose the historic bluestone walls (hence the name of the cafe). Best of all, the owner was so friendly and kept us entertained with his travel stories.
