Cornerstone Cafe - Ballarat

The Cornerstone Cafe's the place you wish you had just around the corner and the fantastic thing for us for the last four months, it HAS been! Reliably great coffee with a relaxed and friendly ambience and wonderful food, mostly created in the kitchen at really good-value prices, it's not surprising that it's very popular with a wide cross-section of Ballarat locals and visitors. We're heading back home to Tassie but we enthusiastically refer friends and family to here as a great catch-up spot on the edge-of-town but still having a very accessible, good-vibe location. Come to think of it, maybe it's a touch of naturally wholesome Tasmania in Victoria...Mmmm...we've had the best of both worlds! Keep up the great job, Wes and the team!

A little gem tucked away a short distance from the CBD. We popped in for an afternoon tea on our way from Ballarat to Geelong. The building and decor is old and quaint. I wish I had a place like this near us in outer suburban Melbourne. I had a long black coffee and the Boss a hot chocolate. Matched with a pair of Macarons (one passionfruit and the other caramel) and a Florentine it made for a lovely break.

Was pleasantly surprised with the menu quality of the food. The staff were friendly accommodating. I found the surrounds very appealing with a good view it was quiet. I will definitely come back

A cosy café. The foods in the chilled cabinet look delightful, but honestly the thing that has me so moved as to give them a 5 star review is that the hot chocolate was actually hot, not tepid as with many other places. Also that the drink was a very reasonable price of $5 for a large.

I had breakfast here due to the proximity to the accommodation I was staying at and I am glad I stopped in for breakfast. The coffee was nice but nothing exceptional where the rustic avocado was amazing, better than I expected.
