Sassafras Cafe

Had a light lunch there. Had the chicken & mushroom pie with salad and relish. Yummy! Wife had the Focaccia - another great dish. Young team serving us. Kudos to them for great service. Cheap lunch for us.

They had to turn afew customers away as it was packed.

All the best and hopefully it can continue to operate as a cafe. Continue to support the local mountains businesses.

I went to Sassafras Cafe

As we drove through the mountains, we came across a town called Sassafras with various shops.

For lunch, go to Sassafras Cafe
Ordered a BLT sandwich and latte

Customer service is also friendly!

It was so delicious.

As like most tourist locations they all put there heart into it. Great coffees. Devonshire tea fresh tasty

The host recommended the Sassy Burger, and it was excellent. Fine service, and easy to get a table - not too busy on the weekday visit, of course. The toilet has a step going up to it which may be difficult for some.

I’ve tried so many scones in town n out of town and i reckon this is the best scones.
Not only the bread texture, also the jam and cream are perfectly made.

The only reason I give 2 stars on atmosphere is because they have this Open kitchen inside the cafe, so you will get all the oily smell on your hair n clothes.

They have outdoor seating but it was too cold during winter.

Anyway, their staffs are superb friendly! Lavv it

Had a lovely lunch here on a wet winter day. Atmosphere was warm and staff were friendly and brought laughter to our day. Had the Chicken Focaccia which was crisp and crunchy on the outside and wholesome on the inside. Spinach Feta quiche was fresh, home made and delicious. Devonshire tea scones were soft and fluffy complemented nicely with an English breakfast tea. Would have liked more jam and cream to fill up the big scones. Only downside was that we came out smelling slightly from the kitchen cooking. Would like to come back to try the breakfast menu and cakes in the display cabinet.

Thanks Rod
Great Scones great conversation
Loved hearing about your stories about the Hawks

Such a lovely little nook to perch up and have some yummy food. The owners are so lovely and really care about the quality of food they’re giving to you. Prices aren’t over saturated like many places these days and the coffee is good too. Lovely spot:)

Despite advertising gluten free scones. Advised dismissively they do not have. Rude service. Atmosphere awful

We recently visited the Sassafras Cafe in Mount Dandenong for breakfast on a Saturday morning during our trip to the Dandenong Ranges. It was a delightful experience that left me impressed with the simple yet inviting atmosphere, delicious food, and the warm hospitality of the sweet couple who run the cafe. It's a simple cafe where you can walk in and enjoy a homely brunch without any hassle. The menu offers a variety of tasty options, and I was pleased with the quality of the food.
The cafe has an open kitchen, which I found quite appealing. Additionally, the availability of outdoor seating was a bonus, especially during the summer months when you can enjoy the pleasant weather while savouring your meal.
The food at Sassafras Cafe had a homely touch, and I loved it. I ordered the French toast with bacon and maple syrup, and it was absolutely delicious. My partner had the eggs Benny, and the poached eggs were perfectly cooked.
Apart from the scrumptious food, what impressed me was the cozy atmosphere of the cafe. It felt like a home away from home, with a welcoming ambiance that made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I also appreciated that the prices were reasonable. The coffee served was of good quality and complemented the meal nicely.
Overall, my experience at the Sassafras Cafe was memorable and highly recommend this cafe to anyone looking for a charming and inviting place to enjoy a delicious meal in Mount Dandenong.

Simple cafe with homely brunch food - tasty nonetheless and I love it when a cafe gets the poached eggs right. Nothing superb to shout about but it was nice and quiet when I visited on a Monday morning and the staff were friendly and welcoming so thumbs up for that.

Amazing little Cafe in the hills, beautiful scenery, great staff and the owner's a scouser. Highly recommend.

Lovely, quiet and homely. Definitely the best quiche I've ever had and at a good price! So light & fluffy.
A little disappointed with the scones - dry & a what seemed like too long in the microwave. Maybe next time they'll be better. Cream & jam was yummy.
Great staff, very friendly and welcoming.

I came here for a late lunch today and had the pumpkin soup and it was delicious one of the best pumpkin soups iv ever had also very cheap definitely recommend.

Best food I’ve ever eaten. Had Devonshire tea and pumpkin foccacia and enjoyed every bite. Service was amazing. Highly recommend 10/10

Food was ok i got a snitzel burger & chips, they wouldn't sell me a bowl of just chips for my child which I found really strange.

Fantastic salmon salad and awesome organic chicken breast burger.
I'll be back for sure!
Update.the open salmon sandwich is fabulous, fresh and super delicious.
Coffees are great too.

Always great customer service and the food is great quality and very tasty. This is our regular cafe now when we got up to mount Dandenong.

Expensive, slow service, got our order wrong, the drinks they served us were undrinkable. The baked goods were ok but likely not made in house.

We enjoyed the brunch. However, customer service was a bit poor. The table was dirty as we arrived and no one came to clean it. Staff came every 2 minutes and asked us if we are ready to order. While she was asking I was cleaning the table but she didn’t care about it.

Thanks
