Edithvale General Store, Edithvale

A favourite amongst locals, Edithvale General Store offers a little bit of everything. The space is split into two distinct areas with the cafe on one side and general store on the other.

The cafe, with its white walls, wooden accents and splashes of greenery offers customers a wide variety of all day brunch and lunch options. There is also a dedicated kids section of the menu and colouring pencils to keep the small ones happy.

Little miss 4 loves the waffles and ice cream (while also managing to eat half of her brother’s eggs on toast). Mamma absolutely loves the chilli scramble which packs such a punch that for once the phrase “you won’t like it, it’s spicy” is actually true.

After fuelling up on breakfast, Mamma loves heading next door to the general store which is like a nostalgic trip back in time. With an array of milk bar lollies, slush puppies behind the counter and ice cream by the scoop, this Mamma has some serious 90s childhood flashbacks.

Mamma’s tip - jump online and book ahead of time to avoid having to line up for a table with hangry kids in tow.
