About General Store Bakery & Coffee House
General Store Bakery & Coffee House is the kind of place that's hard to pin down in one line, and that's part of its appeal for anyone in Beaconsfield Upper, Victoria. It's a café and general store rolled into one, with baking done in-house: slices, doughnuts, biscuits and muffins sit alongside barista-made coffee, breakfast and lunch. One customer has praised the breakfast muffin. It's a friendly spot to bring the kids.
The coffee is what people rave about most. One local called it the most consistent coffee they'd ever had, whether the place is quiet or busy with a queue on a weekend morning, and a barista named Mia gets a lot of praise. Staff are described as warm and welcoming, and one visitor tells a nice story of the team tucking away a forgotten takeaway meal behind the counter until it could be collected. Prices are seen as good value, and the baked goods come out fresh from the oven.
Dine-in and takeaway are both on offer, there's a drive-thru, and the building has wheelchair-accessible parking, entrance and seating. Bookings are accepted, which helps if you're gathering a group. The business has served the local community since 1885, and the shelves hold pantry goods and provisions as well as treats, so it's easy to pick up a few things while you're in.
Catering for functions and events is available. A local who had them cater a 55th birthday said the sliders, mac and cheese bites and chicken tenders disappeared fast, and the sauces were a hit. They also do delivery.
We've heard the odd complaint about a slow kitchen on a busy day and about communication when an order runs late, so if you're after a quick toastie on a rush, it's worth allowing a little extra time. Check the hours before you head in, as they differ between weekdays and weekends.
