Little Square Garage

Nestled in the charming district of Ballarat East, Little Square Garage is not just a café; it’s a vibrant gathering spot for locals and visitors alike. Located at 81A Humffray St N, this hidden gem invites you to experience a unique blend of quality beverages, fresh food, and a warm community spirit, all set in a cozy atmosphere that feels like a home away from home.

The café perfectly embodies the local flavors with a menu that will please both casual diners and gourmet enthusiasts. Start your day with their expertly crafted beverages, where options like the Small Coffee Flat White, Long Black, and a refreshingly balanced Capuccino await you at an affordable A$4.00. For tea lovers, there’s a selection of aromatic English Breakfast and Earl Grey teas, also priced at A$4.00, providing a delightful warmth that complements the frequently brisk Ballarat weather.

But don’t stop there! Little Square Garage takes pride in a delectable food menu featuring an assortment of biscuits and cakes that beckon for a mid-afternoon treat. Indulge in their savory toasties, designed to satisfy your cravings, although some patrons have noted the ratio of filling to bread can be an area for enhancement. One customer, C S, mentioned a lack of filling in the pumpkin toastie but added that the mocha was a delightful accompaniment. It’s this kind of candid feedback that helps the café continue to grow and refine its offerings.

The warmth of the staff shines just as brightly as the café’s glowing reviews. Visitors frequently mention the 'super friendly' team ready to make your experience enjoyable. Cathy Mynott and her furry companion, Bolt, are among the loyal regulars who find the atmosphere welcoming and the service “efficient and quick.” This fondness for the café is echoed by other patrons who enjoy the cheerful service alongside their great coffee and an inviting selection of cakes and slices.

While dining inside can leave some feeling a chill—like Trevor, who noted that the café was quite cold during winter—many have discovered the appeal of enjoying the café's fare to go, especially on those brisk days. As a proactive step, the staff at Little Square Garage are committed to improving the customer experience, reinforcing why this café remains a beloved local staple.

In a world where cafés often feel rushed, Little Square Garage takes a refreshing approach with a sense of calm and community. David Maddison, an enthusiastic visitor, praised the venue's prompt opening for early risers craving breakfast, particularly enjoying their freshly made bacon and egg sandwich—a must-try for anyone stopping by. Whether you're in search of a peaceful corner to sip tea, a fun spot to enjoy with friends, or a cozy atmosphere to savor delectable food, Little Square Garage promises a memorable experience that will have you returning time and again.
