The Tradesman Cafe

Spotlessly clean and fantastic egg and bacon rolls! We called past twice on the way through Bainsdale while towing a horse float. I would recommend to travellers towing, easy to get to and park and then get back on your way. Not too far off the main hwy.

The latte had milk and water at least. Shame it was devoid of coffee. I can't believe how many cafes can't actually make coffee. Thankfully the takeaway breakfast burger was tasty. But how hard is it to include a napkin?

Coffee was horrible, chicken bao was not great, chips where ok, the vegan smoothie was good but not enough to warrant returning. Staff don't seem to know what thier doing, and payments take forever to go through. Had to try 3 times, and no it wasn't my card its the stupid apple pay dock thing that doesn't connect.

It’s good place to have your morning coffee and breakfast also its good please to have your snack and any meal that you like. If you want take a way or dining in, you can. The staff are very friendly and kindness. There are also an updated newspaper that you can check it.

This was the best breakfast we have had in years! Went there after seeing a photo of the smashed avo breakfast online, the real deal was even better! Food is 10 out of 10, coffee was fabulous and so is the service - friendly and fast

The smashed avo was the best combination I’ve had. It looked so good it didn’t even have a chance to land on the table.

Just had the most amazing vegetarian big breakfast! From the folded eggs to the crispy rosti and beautifully seasoned wild mushrooms. I could not fault it!
It left we wanting more and more and more.
I ordered this on uber eats.perfection.
I would definitely recommend it!

This is one of those cafes you go to because there seems to be a lot of hype around them, or they have one or two good items on the menu that people post pics of on Instagram, so you feel you have to try it. I'm glad I've tried it, but it's quite overhyped in my honest opinion.

The menu is good. I mean, many cafes in Melbourne are various replicas of each other. You can honestly go to almost any cafe for breakfast/lunch/brunch and find exceptionally similar items. I came here to try the Fish Tacos and the Red Velvet Pancakes (which are very beautifully presented). Honestly, the tacos were a little disappointing, as I was looking for a crisp shell. The fish itself was beautiful and fresh and very tasty, and crumbed perfectly. But there was a lot of spicy things along with it and it irritated my tongue a bit. My companion also ordered their dish and it was VERY spicy with no mention of spice on the menu. The staff were very good to accept the blame and switch the dish out. That was commendable. As for the pancakes, well they look beautiful. They're great if you want to post a pretty picture. They do taste like regular pancakes and the ice cream that came with them was delicious. And although nothing seriously bad happened here, it's just another cafe and nothing all too special. I would recommend it to you if you just want to try somewhere new, but as for me, I don't think it's a place I'd return to over and over again unless a friend wanted to specifically meet there.

They have their own small parking lot right out the front, and the food is reasonably priced. But for the 20 minutes it takes me to get there and back, I just am glad I've been, but would try elsewhere new to me now.
