The General Food Store

Coffee always on point. I find myself never adding sugar here as theres care in the whole process.
Food also great.service would have to be some of the best around.
Thanks for the great experience.

Paul bent over backwards to make sure we had the best breakfast ever. Our first after lock down and it was so nice to have such great service with a friendly smile. At least I assume he was smiling under his mask. Amazing breakfast bacon and egg brioche bun. My scrambled eggs were buttery and superb. Will definitely go again.

Unusual flavour combinations that worked. Lovely service. Easy going. A few good providore items for sale. Will be back.

Thank you for such an amazing lunch today!
The staff are just gorgeous and so friendly and really made our first dine in experience for months amazing!
Vegan options are delicious from lunch to sweets, cold drip coffee was just spectacular!
My mum had non vegan options which she thoroughly enjoyed, can't wait to come back again

Went for breakfast/coffee and didnot disappoint. My avocado toast was fresh, coffee was smooth and customer service was friendly.

They offer refreshing monthly menu and I liked how they were using the ethically and sustainably sourced local seasonal ingredients found in the valley and the Dandenong ranges.

The menu offers wholesome wide range along with vegan option and easily provides for dietary requirement also. Highly recommend their almond coffee and Come and avo go breakfast.

We sat outside but interior looked pretty and spacious too. Loved the green plants vibes.

This spot is been locals fav since 2011! Glad we had the chance to check it out while we were in the Yarra Valley.

They also sell baked goods, home made sauces and more. Def worth to stop by when you are in the area and support local business!

Amazing staff, great coffee and delicious food. Gluten free bread was beautifully yummy! Can’t wait to go back.

I love The General! Perfect fresh food, beautiful friendly staff. Just consistently great every single time.

Hands down some of the best scrambled eggs I have ever had. Haloumi was on point, bread was epic, and the staff were awesome. Didn't get to sample the coffee on this occasion, but can guarantee the food was epic.

Little gem in Emerald. Slightly pricey but it offers a variety of menu with great taste. Recommended!

Really enjoyed the service and breakfast, lovely staff and interesting construct of their menu. Well done thank.you.)

I have driven past this place many times but never stopped for something to eat. Its a small boutique Cafe using local produce and house made menu items. I had the arabesque with avocado and bacon. At first the meal looked small. As I was eating I realised its bigger than it looks. The eggs were poached perfectly, and the house made beetroot relish is perfectly made. The staff are friendly and very good at what they do. If your driving through Emerald I would highly recommend stopping and having something to eat.

If you want a cafe to make you feel both welcome and full to the brim, I can't recommend anywhere else in the area.
It's a delightful place with food in perfect abundance. Full marks!

Loved the coffee and the food. I'm surprised that in a such a small town there's so many vegan options. We have been here a couple of times and definitely will come back for more

The staff here are always so friendly and accommodating. The food is also one of the best I've had in a cafe, fresh and always delicious. My husband and I have been coming here for years and we now take our two little ones. Thank you for the wonderful service!

Lovely food and great staff and service. Usually loud and busy but wait times and low. Good views across at the park and food is fantastic.

This place never fails to give you good food. Menu changes regularly and staff are always lovely.

The most expensive take away coffee I've had in Victoria. It's a real pitty because the staff is so lovely, but I just got a shock when I saw the charge on my card!

Absolutely love this little cafe, they have the best creative menu with fresh ingredients. It's my FAVORITE breakfast place, it's not a very big shop and can get busy but worth the wait.staff are friendly and welcoming. Can't wait to visit soon.

Love how this cafe try to be sustainable by supporting local producers. Friendly staff. Delicious food

Staff are absolutely amazing there, always smiling and look like they love what they do. Makes me happy to go in, and all their produce supports local businesses, and all around awesome restaurants
