About Stanhope Cafe
For a small-town stop in Stanhope, Victoria, this cafe punches well above its size, and a strong local reputation has built up around it. It works as a hybrid: a proper takeaway and dine-in cafe that also keeps a counter of bakery goods, so you can sit down for a meal or grab something for the road.
Burgers are the talking point. Locals rave about them, and one regular reckons they're the best in the state, partly because the staff will happily add or leave off whatever you like. The beef, bird and bacon is the one a loyal customer keeps coming back for. Fish and chips get a good word too, along with potato cakes that one traveller called the best for miles, cooked in clean, hot oil.
On the bakery side, we hear the sausage rolls are generously sized and tasty, the pies are well liked, and the vanilla slice is a standout, with a decent portion to match. A raspberry and coconut slice has its fans as well. Breakfast gets attention, including an egg and bacon sandwich one visitor called the best they'd had in a long while. Coffee is made the way you ask for it, and served properly hot.
People like the value for a small country town, and the welcoming staff come up again and again. Tables are kept clean, and service is quick and good-humoured. One traveller left a handbag on an outside table and had it handed back safely, which says plenty about the place.
It suits families and travellers alike. There's outdoor seating, it's good for kids, and the car park and entrance are wheelchair accessible. Catering is available too, and there's an RV park across the road, which makes it an easy stop on the way through. They serve from breakfast into the evening, so check the hours before you head in.
