Happy Trails Cafe - Mount Evelyn

A fantastic cafe located at the beginning of the Warburton trail. I ordered the quiche and a burger, both of which were delicious, but unfortunately the chips were not up to par. Despite this, I will definitely be giving this cafe another try as it's in a fantastic location and has friendly staff. It was very busy with over 20 people there today.

I visit this restaurant weekly and it's a great place to bring the kids. The food is excellent, the location is convenient, the staff is friendly, and the best part is that the kids love the playground. I highly recommend it!

The three of us waited well over 15 minutes for 2 pies and a pastie with people who came in a few minutes after us(takeaway pies and coffee) walking out with their order a few minutes before we had ours tabled. The 12 hour slow cooked beef pies had nothing identifiable other than a thick gravy. The pastie I am told was "average".

Started with plenty of parking right at the front door.....or if I was inclined I could've ridden my bike OR HORSE OR SIMPLY walked. This delightful cafe is literally right on the Warburton trail! Less than 50 meters from Monbulk Road. The owner Matt was out the front when i arrived and he showed me the work he's doing in the side yard - putting in a play ground with cubby houses and believe this .... a holding area to tight up your horse!! Food - I had a Moccachino (which was perfect) and the Eggs Benedict. For about $14 it was superb - two perfectly poached eggs on shaved smoked leg ham on a lightly toasted sour dough with a homemade cider hollandaise sauce. YUMMY. Thankfully there wasn't too much sauce as some places simply drown the eggs. My mate had the BIG Breakfast - it was only about $19 and had eggs, tomotoes (on the vine), bacon, sauce and mushrooms - also on sour dough. Do yourself and favour and try it out....

On such a busy little trial for cyclists and walkers, it's a shame this cafe can't offer more hearty food. Their Trial burger came out as a sub sandwich with the burger 'mooshed' up to extend the full length of the bread. Sadly tasteless too and with more butter than you can poke a stick at. Kids enjoyed pancakes .... but then kids ALWAYS enjoy pancakes.
