cafe lekker

love lekker!. i lovecafelekker and i eat there regularly for breakfast on the weekend. i always have the lekker breakfast, coffee and cake. wonderful start to the weekend. very cosy, great booths (which i love). good waitstaff, friendly. i will be back and often.

bestcafein ballarat. we come here all the time, the breakfast is amazing, the specials are always interesting and relevant and the staff are superb and very nice.
definitely reccomend.

nothing is too much trouble for the chefs atcafelekker. being a vegetarian, they are always accomodating when i switch things up. brekkies are to die for

thecafehas a cosy atmosphere, the food was very good and the service was fast and friendly too. we’ll be returning there again.

always find thiscafeto be good. friendly staff, good food and great coffee. have been many times and will continue to. parking can be a problem

a great little café! my family and i spent a night in ballarat and found this café whilst looking for our first meal when we arrived. we ordered from the breakfast menu and they were delicious. i had the tuki sausages which was really nice, the mushrooms were perfectly cooked and had such flavour, as did the grilled tomato and hashbrown. my mum had the greek lamb sausages which came with mash, green beans and brocoli i think. she loved it too. was disappointed as i initially wanted to order the special garlic prawn risotto and they had sold out, but to be fair it was almost 2pm when we arrived. we tried the green tea matcha latte which was only alright, more milk than matcha taste. we ended up coming back the next day and i managed to get the last portion of the risotto (at 1pm). was really nice and not too heavy, highly recommend it. so if you're in ballarat, stop bycafelekker and you won't be disappointed! service is good too and we didn't wait long both days we were there and it was the weekend. will be returning next time i'm in ballarat! and i'll make sure i get in early so i can get that rissoto again! :)

for a small café located away from the dining strip of sturt street, café lekker is one busy establishment. the food here is well done - the breakfast of poached eggs, salmon and avocado is plentiful and tasty. special mention must go to the hollandaise, which managed to convert a staunch non-hollandaise-ee. iced chocolate was a terrible chocolate syrup concoction; admittedly ordering an iced chocolate as an adult was cause enough to send out such a dreadful drink.
service is friendly (if a little chaotic, with our table receiving four different wait staff), and coped on a very busy, hot and noisy morning. the café is kitted out in a strange mix of kitsch and cool, and whilst i'm not sure if they pull it off, there would be hoards of regulars ready to disagree with me.
overall a recommended eatery for regular meals that are cooked well. avoid if you're dining with someone hard of hearing.

use turkish bread or normal toast - not sour dough so you might be disappointed.cafeis a bit run down and they need a renovation. staff are hit and miss but most listen to your needs and are happy to serve you. menu has been the same for god knows how long. they do offer gf bread (not mentioned on menu). coffee is hit and miss

very large breakfast menu, meals were served very quickly and service was prompt and attentive. i do feel that the lady with the orange shaded glasses needs a serious lesson in how to smile, all our interactions with her were cold and uninviting and i'd probably have scored higher if she actually showed some genuine interest in her customers.

overall a very goodcafewith some great tasting food and reasonable pricing, would absolutely be back again!

delicious food!. on a recent visit to ballarat i had lunch atcafelekker - highly recommend - the calamari salad. melt in your mouth calamari and the right mix of flavours and salad. i returned the next day for breakfast - good options and good coffee.

amazing coffee, food and service with a smile!. as a regular customer ofcafelekker i have to say i absoulutely love it. the food is always delicious, the coffee is always amazing (especially when james and bri make it :p) and the service is always friendly- even when it is busy. it's easy to see why this place is always so busy.

lovely coffee. best coffee i have ever had!!
went in on the weekend and some new girl made my coffee.. possibly the best i have ever had. made my day :d wish i knew her name..

great customer service but rude customers. i was a customer incafelekker the other day and witnessed another customer abusing the lady serving him calling her an idiot! all wait staff were calm and dealt with the customer extremely well! but people working in hospitality aren't there to be other people's boxing bags! all staff atcafelekker are tremendous no matter what they have to deal with! completely professional!

worth a visit!. sunday morning, no booking -walked intocafelekker the place was flat chat. however we were drinking their amazing coffee & eating breakfast within 15mins. great service, fantastic food, i'll recommend thecafeto everyone after a good breakfast experience. thank you to the folks atcafelekker.

best breakfast i've ever had. my friends and i regularly visitcafelekker, and it is a general consensus between us that this is the best breakfast we've had. great coffee to, and the staff are lovely. if you're going there make sure you try the sj brekky, or matt's special. you won't be disappointed.

in our experience, both at lunch and dinner, has been fantastic. the service is great, the food fantastic and it is always quick to arrive. am very happy to call myself a regular customer forcafelekker!
