About Cafestation
Pies are what Cafestation in Mount Martha is known for, and locals will happily point you to the beef and burgundy, which one person still talks about a year on. The steak and bacon pie gets a mention too, along with sausage rolls, pasties and a custard tart that has people making the trip from Mornington. It's a traditional-style bakery that also works as a proper cafe, so you can grab something to go or settle in with table service.
Coffee is a regular part of the visit, with a hazelnut latte getting a special nod, and breakfast and brunch are popular, including toasted egg and bacon rolls. There are vegetarian options, and the quiches and danishes have been ordered all the way from interstate for a family Christmas, with the baker even sending photos so the buyer could judge the size. Custom cake orders and catering are on offer as well.
The seating is a plus: indoor tables, outdoor seating across the road from the beach, a good fit for families with kids, and wheelchair-accessible parking and entrance. We hear it's good value, and the staff are friendly, with one local singling out Layla for her kindness at the counter. The odd grumble has come up about slow service when someone was in a rush, so allow a little time on a busy morning.
It opens early most days and a bit shorter on weekends, so check the hours before you head in.
