The General Food Store

Very enjoyable meal. Menu has a good variety. Isn't very big and can get very busy on a weekend so it can pay to book in advance.

A really nice little place with very helpful staff. 9 of us turned up at the same time and they did a great job of managing available tables so that we could get a table out the back after a short wait. The food was generous and delicious. Would go again!

Best breakfast in Emerald, I eat here alone often and really enjoy that the food is delish, the service attentive, and the coffee hot. Thanks for being awesome!

One of the best cafes in the hills, food is always great and they cater to so many different food requirements (vegan, food allergies etc). Everything is home-made and the staff are delightful. Seating is limited and can sometimes be difficult to find a spot, but it's definitely worth the wait!

One of my favourite cafes in Melbourne. The coffee is amazing. Food is so good & they serve delicious food for both vegans and meat eaters & most dietary requirements.

Love it. Food is brilliant and I’d go so far to say that this cafe is one of the best in Victoria. Paul the waiter is one of the finest young gentlemen I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. Thanks for your kind and thoughtful service!

Food was amazing. Just one small issue with one coffee, but was sorted by excellent staff with no issues at all. Great place. Will definitely be back.

Really, really nice place. Lovely customer service and great food that is fresh, healthy and delicious.

Must be be best cafe in the area. I especially appreciate that the kids options are actually decent. Highly recommended everyone to dine here.

Great for everyone! Amazing gem of Emerald. Perfect spot. Homely and warm through the current cold weather. Exceptional coffee. Staff are very welcoming, approachable and friendly. Cannot brag about this spot more
Its a spot my boyfriend and I ALWAYS go
Plus who doesn't love all day breakfast

I just love this little cafe, the food is outstanding, the coffee is perfect and the staff attentive. As usual I enjoyed every part of lunch here today.

Good vibes. City style cafe and menu. Vegan choices. Courtyard seating is good for kids.
Give them a go!

Excellent food and coffee. Small place, but has some undercover outdoors seating both in the back and a couple of tables on the front.

A simple but delicious menu, lots of favourites peppered with quality touches and ingredients. I had the mushrooms with potato bread and it was incredibly good and satisfying. Definately returning.

Closed early because of fire ban day?
Absolute madness and unreliable.good food at times friendly staff

A touch too pricy for my budget, but the waitress made my hot chocolate in under two minutes when the dude next to me started talking about bitcoin, so five stars.

Dougie's first foid venture is always great. Tiny store but absolutely wholesome locally sourced ingredients. Staff are always natural and cheery. Not had a bad meal since they opened.

Very chilled cozy place, great for breakfast and brunch. Excellent coffee and service. Fresh food and big servings

Love the food here! A+ quality. Staff are super helpful. Only down side is it’s small and can be quite the wait or a table. But otherwise couldn’t fault it or the food and I have been multiple times.

Every time I head to Victoria, this is the place I go first. Food is impeccable, coffee is honestly flawless, and the staff are always friendly and attentive. If there is anywhere you really have to check out, it is The General Food Store.
