N. B.

Absolutely incredible! Very lovely staff and the food tasted delicious, and also the presentation of the coffee milkshakes and food that comes out is always consistently great! Perfect price rage for the quality and looks amazing on the inside !

m. r.

first time coming here! loooved the food, the rustic cozy vibes and the service, the new guy that started today thankyou soo much!!! overall amazing cafe will defintly come back again soon 🙃🙃 my vegan turkish roll thingo was sooo good and fresh & filling! 💜💜💜💜

S. P.

Was lucky enough to dine-in at this absolute hidden gem today! The staff were incredibly warm, the atmosphere was beautiful and the food…..WOW! It is abundantly clear that there is a lot of love, passion and effort put into the place and I am so glad that I chose it to celebrate Melbourne’s coming out of lockdown! After all that small businesses have endured, and are still having to endure, I applaud this little slice of paradise on their efforts and I cannot wait to come back!

r. g.

First time visitor.. Was starving after a trail walk. Was blown away by the delicious and generous portion meals and amazing coffee at great prices. Great variety of food on offer for everyone. Will be back from some more grub soon .

S. H.

Always, always good Coffee…excellent Food….excellent Service….the best part As regulars we see the Deli in quiet times and when it’s super busy. They are consistent in their excellent-ness. The staff are always gracious and do a phenomenal job to make sure their customers have a great experience. I’m particularly smitten w their scrambled eggs, so creamy. And the mushrooms are delicious. We also enjoy the Frankie Burrito that happens to be vegan and is specifically full flavoured. And it’s all seasoned perfectly, every time. Kallista Daily…I mean Deli. Love it!

K. H.

WOW. Nearly $30 for 2 takeway toasted Turkish bread. Very limited choice - Chicken or vegan. The staff were quite friendly & we got them quickly. But the price blew me away.

S. R.

I really like this place & have been visiting for years. It's one of those places that has maintained its charm & quality through the years unlike a lot of other establishments in the Dandenongs. The menu selection is great, coffee/teas are good and general ambience is lovely. If you're looking for a great place to brunch or go out on a date, I'm quite sure you just found it. And, you're welcome! 😊

A. D.

Lovely little place. Delicious food and very polite and friendly staff :)

R. G.

Went there for lunch. Food was lovely. Turkish bread was fresh. Menu description doesn't do them any justice. Serves are quite generous. Coffee was smooth. Friendly staff.

A. S.

Great food, served by wonderful staff. Ordered tasty Eggs Benedict, with Bacon and Mushrooms. The scones are homemade, so of course, took some home for later. A must visit.

P.

An update. I had this again and it didn't disapoint. The eggs were cooked beautifully the hollandaise sauce was spot on and the latte was perfect. Keep it up. I had the eggs Benedict. The eggs were slightly undercooked and the hollandaise tasted pre made. The bread was soggy due to the bread being buttered and from the Spinach. The bacon had a nice smokey flavour to it. The Coffee was absolutely delicious. It was hot, smooth, Creamy and strong. I'm going to give this little place another try.

N. M.

Perfect experience in everyway. Beautiful lunch with a delicious Rose. Attention to detail was faultless, right down to the crockery our food was served on. It was a wonderful lunch. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

J. N.

What a wonderful spot in the Dandenongs! I dropped in for lunch with my partner and we had a great meal. Their menu is varied with all day breakfast (which is what we went for), but they also have a lunch menu too. There are also some lovely sounding vegan dishes to choose from if you need. We ordered the big breakfast and the apple crumble pancakes. Definitely some of the best breakfast pancakes I've had in a long time. Perfectly fluffy and a great balance of toppings and sweetness. The apple was cooked to perfection and the crumble was mouth watering. It's evident these guys use top quality ingredients. Will be back!

J. D.

Found this lovely location settled amongst the freshness of Sherbrooke Forest. Enjoyed a hearty brunch that was tasty and delicious. Friendly and professional service. Will definitely be back.

A. R.

What a lovely place to stop and have a bite to eat in the middle of the beautiful Dandenong rain forest. Great iced coffee here.. worth the drive!

D. E.

Nice little cafe. A few gluten free options. Not wheelchair friendly. Has highchair. Good coffee, friendly staff and lots of different seating options. Good place to sit and read. Not great phone reception. Car park across road. Pretty.

A. B.

Haven't been here for a while probably pre covid , cooked breakfast was devin, coffee was perfect and Portugal tarts yum yum 😋 . We also took home two pies 🥧 yummy 😋

S. W.

I came across this place by accident and SO HAPPY I did. I was in need of a break from eating sourdough brunches and baked goods, and came across a refreshing vegan selection here. The cafe do cater for the usual tastes of baked goods, inc cream tea etc and some lovely looking pastries, but their menu offers so much more. The Vegan Feast Bowl was outstanding. I just tried to recreate it tonight at home! I'll be back.

M.

This is the Japanese burger. Very delish buuuut... the portion a lil' small for its price but consider supporting local buisness! I'll be back to try a different dish, the coffee was delish.

E. C.

Amazing tasty food and coffee, lovely, friendly staff and cozy place to have brekky or lunch.

A. E.

Our favorite Cafe in Kalista. Breakfasts are always unmatched. The most delicious coffee in all Mount Dandenong 😋

M. S.

Superb food, beautifully presented with attentive friendly staff. What more could you want for a casual lunch in the hills?

L. R.

A lovely cafe serving a delicious menu with lots of options for different dietary requirements. The two outdoor areas are cosy spaces to enjoy a meal or coffee with your fur baby, especially when the wisteria is flowering. Perfect spot to refuel after a hike in the forest.

S. R.

The food is always fantastic but the staff here can be hit and miss. The girl that took our order on the weekend was amazing.

b. b.

The food and coffee is great but the staff can be a little bit cold Not warm and fuzzy.

J. K.

Gorgeous cafe, superb food and a beautiful warm and inviting ambience.

r. n.

lovely food, great coffee. And a wonderful ambience. Highly recommended

e. m.

Always loved this Cafe until they started asking for jab certificates to enter 🤮😪 just a massive turn off to segregate the community

R. B.

Food is fantastic, and staff are excellent, lovely environment for a meal or just a coffee and nibbles

S. I.

Excellent food and they were very accommodating seating our large group (without a booking)

R.

Nice food, good quality and quantity... Real rural feeling with welcoming gesture. Will visit again... Outdoor sitting was awesome.

S. Y.

Stopped at Kallista Deli Cafe for lunch today and sat under the striped umbrella enjoying the Autumn sunshine. The food was good and we were really impressed with the service. The staff were friendly and very efficient. Definitely worth a return visit.

T.

Worth the Wait!! Oh my goodness what a gem... Everything from the food, setting and service was simply amazing! My husband and I ordered the Japanese chicken burger to share along with coffees and carrot cake and everything was SENSATIONAL! Obviously with how amazing this place is, it was absolutely flat out and yet all the girls on staff this afternoon were so friendly, cheerful and delightful to talk too despite the high demand. We were given the heads up on arrival of an hour wait on food and decided to still give it a go as was in no real hurry. Our delicious burger came out earlier than expected 45mins later. Seriously one of the best I’ve ever had, such a great flavour profile with a well balanced coleslaw sauce in the bun and toasted seeds with crispy chicken. The carrot cake also didn’t disappoint. All round an absolute delight! Will definitely be back!!

C. W.

Firstly, the team at Kallista Deli Cafe are fantastic. Very friendly. The menu has a great amount of variety and caters for different dietary requirements. The food is fantastic and so are their sweets. I highly recommend visiting this place as you explore the area.

R. B.

Good coffee. Nice cakes. Excellent service.

C. H.

Very, friendly staff & quick service. Food was delicious!!

J. S.

Arrived just after 3pm, they had closed the kitchen. Staff took the time to toast some food for us, kudos for the service

M.

Good coffee, nice food, really mixed service. They close and packup earlier than their trading hours and leave you feeling unwelcome if you come in past 2:30. POS device seems to be a bottleneck too as they're constantly a long queue at the register even when quiet...

K. A.

Great coffee, quality food, terrific people. All set in a lively environment. A definite stop when up the mountain 👍

M. V.

Lovely ambience even on a cold early June Saturday mid day... covid safe rules in place ... wonderful friendly staff ... good food at reasonable prices ... available parking all around the block. Thank you!

C. L.

Lovely dishes and very warm service from the staff. Cheers

D. S.

Great Cafe, good service, delicious meals, lovely outdoor eating

J. T.

An amazing spot to get a meal after a walk. I had the Japanese chicken burger and my partner had the vegan bowl. Both were 10/10. Will definitely be coming back

A. O.

Such a beautiful little cafe! Fantastic service, delicious food and great selection of meals for those with dietary requirements. Highly recommend and I can’t wait to come back again! :)

C. M.

You can always tell how fresh and delicious the food is by their chips 🍟. These fries were crunchy and this Japanese burger was to die for. Peferct meal after a hike... Strong coffee and the apple juice was thurst quenching!!!

T. C.

New owners. Excellent customer service, prompt food to table service. Delicious food, and such a lovely little cafe in the mountains The only thing I would add is the need for more vegan options, including sweets and my much loved chai. Highly recommend

M. C.

Absolutely out of this world incredible! The service was amazing, the best service I’ve ever had. We had the eggs Benedict with added tomato relish and halloumi cheese and I couldn’t stop eating, everything was phenomenal. I’ve never had such delicious and perfectly made food but that halloumi cheese was amazing, the hollandaise was spectacular, the best and most unique I’ve ever tasted. I’m so happy to soon be living just around the corner from this cafe as I will be coming here every free weekend I have. 100/10, I cannot wait to come back and recommend to all my friends and family.

N. F. H.

Friendly and welcoming atmosphere. They adhered to COVID requirements and they have clearly communicated their 'new normal' on their menu. Reservation recommended but I slipped in early on a Saturday morning. Yummy food and excellent selection of drinks, including Tea Leaves Tea and Jasper Coffee.

G. M.

Very pleasant for lunch with good service from smiling waitresses

S.

Well priced food, good selection of choices. The cakes display is excellent. There's probably some room on the menu to try something different, but what we've had has been cooked well and was tasty. Staff are generally great, and look happy to be there. We've stopped by a few times and it's probably the best place we've been to so far to grab breakfast on the mountain.

a. r.

Nice and friendly staff. Good food with good presentation. Ample of outside and inside sitting place.

V. D.

Great food, great coffee, great service.

A. W.

Nice cafe with wooden floor boards and plenty of seating options. I had the vegan Buddha Bowl which was quite tasty. My partner had the Cajun chicken ciabata which he found a little light on with the fillings. Nice coffee and fresh orange in the water was a nice touch. 😊

K. S.

First out of lock down lunch was fantastic here. We sat outside beside the garden greenery under an Umberella. Great menu, something to please all the family. Lovely staff. Regarding covid- Plenty of space, instruction and sanitiser.

T. E.

Always great coffee from friendly staff. Excellent cakes. First breakfast there this week was excellent. I recommend this cafe!

A. P.

Well priced cafe for lunch and afternoon tea. Really nice focaccias and soups on sale. Love their hot chocolates too. Cafe a few years ago expanded so plenty of indoor seating. Outdoor tables available too. Toilets now available inside.

B. W.

Friendly staff and prompt service. The light meals and cakes are of a good standard, and I can highly recommend the jars of iced coffee - strong flavor and not overly sweet. Has improved since they purchased next door to make more space.

h. L.

Friendly staff. Tasty food. Didn't have lunch menu available but it looks good. No water to the table. Didn't have an obvious check covid check in and when asked, still not brought to us. Would definitely come again.

S. S.

Wonderful breakfast, great service.

E. P.

Love the size of food :) cozy place

N. N.

Another lovely visit since we are out of lock down. Table booked at short notice in the shade sitting under the remainingbwusteria . Thank you Emily and Richard Covid protocols confirmed with the meals tasty. really enjoyable and a pleasure to see Liz working there. Only issue no wifi but I believe it’s coming. PS why no mobile signal there service providers!!!

L. M.

The Japanese chicken salad is awesome. We must have eaten 20 or more over the last couple of years. No two ever quite the same, but always superb.

S. D.

A very nice cafe with inside and outside seating. Good selection of food on the menu with a great cake cabinet. Friendly staff. Also a great place for breakfast after a Run, hike or walk around grants picnic ground which is within walking distance of the cafe.

A. K.

Favourite cafe spot after a hike in the Dandenongs

D.

Nice cafe on the eastern foothill away from the crowds that plague sassafras and olinda. Good atmosphere and setting staring up at the hills, elevated seating above the road and a nice little courtyard for warmer times. Coffee was decent and made properly.

D. M.

Excellent service, good quality food and good coffee, and space for sitting outside with your doggo. Can get busy during tourist peaks.

S. M.

Pleasant staff, nice food. We had take away toasted rolls. It seemed to take a long time to get them but they were yum

J. H.

Pretty good and the straws are cool and very environmentally beneficial

C. B.

You don't plan to run into Portuguese Tarts in Kallista however these tarts are hands down the best I've ever had, 2 days later still thinking of them. Perfect with a coffee. Friendly staff, fast service, decent coffee.

R. M.

I had the Japanese chicken burger and was unfortunately quite disappointed. When the fillet is thinner than the coating that's not a good sign, especially at the price. Hopefully it was just a bad batch.

S. M.

Nice cafe to go lunch in the ranges

S. R.

Great food, coffee, and lovely staff all making this cafe well worth visiting

K. C.

Really excellent place to stop for lunch. Good home-cooked healthy food but all with a creative twist. Friendly staff. Amazing menu. Do not drive past!

E. G.

Good service, food and atmosphere.

M. T.

We only had coffee. Tasty coffee but it wasn't very hot and wasn't cheap. Took ages queing to get served and then for coffee to arrive. Busy place and premises too big for their coffee making capacity / capability

A. P.

If you're not first struck by the transporting ambiance of this cafe, you will soon find yourself enamored by the quaint subtleties that comprise this homely milieu. The hearty yet delectable food that follows this experience; accompanied with the full-bodied, richly fragrant long black (with of course a pleasing crema); was a pleasant surprise indeed for our Sunday morning.

A. K.

Really happy team of people. They were nothing but courteous and accomodating. Even went out of their way to assist us on directions for our adventures. Food at the time of consumption was fresh. Was a pleasure !

J. G.

A café that does Brunch well! eggs benny was cooked to perfection. Relaxed and cosy atmosphere. Delish coffee. I'll be back here.

Lovely cafe and deli, staff were so friendly.

S. E.

Yummy breakfast, good coffee and chai and lots or yummy treats and smallgoods to take away at the end! Their cupboard of cakes and muffins is always full of really amazing sweets!

D. W.

A great cafe - very popular with locals - that always seems to be busy. Nice spot to aim for if you're visiting the Dandenong Ranges.

S. B.

All the sweets here are so delish! The caramel slice and baked cheese cake are to die for.

H. a. U.

Highly recommended, great staff

M. H.

Best coffee in the dandenong ranges. Been working in the ranges for 12 years and go to lunch everyday at various cafes in the hills. Excellent chai as well. Yummy home made food . Gets crowded and busy on weekends..

i. s.

Cute place. Very yum food. Friendly service Went to the cafe this morning, one girl spilled coffee all over my man, made him hv to went home and change. We went back with him not happy,but the manager apologize and we had free breakfast.. tht was realllllly nice. But i notice tht they let the table dirty for loong time, and somehow its not a good view. The only reason i gv 4stars.

J. B.

Love the outdoor area .. Great set up . Great food and amazing hot chocolate . Not rushed able to eat chat and relax with friends Thankyou

Coffee, food & especially the service was ordinary. I've been twice now after 2pm so later than peak lunch time but tables were dirty with lots of uncleared dishes.

(Translated) A very unforgettable dining experience, can be regarded as one of the most delicious lunch I have ever had. The ingredients are fresh and the portion is full. The consumption of 15-20 yuan/person (without coffee), especially the homemade sauce, is really unforgettable. (Original) 非常难忘的一次就餐体验，可以算是我吃过的最美味的午餐之一。食材很新鲜、份量满满的，15-20元/人的消费（不含咖啡），特别是homemade的酱，实在难忘。
