While staying in Anglesea, I stopped by Laneway 73 Café and enjoyed a delicious gluten-free toasted tuna panini. The staff were incredibly kind and went out of their way to look after me. If you’re in the area, it’s definitely worth a visit!
Positives: coeliac/ gluten free friendly and easy access from the highway.
Negatives: Price doesn’t match the quality received. Burgers fairly average. Service fairly average.
QR code table software is nice, but its needs to allow staff to remove items that aren’t available anymore, since you can order and pay for things like coffee or out-of-stock items, making recourse overly complicated.
If you urgently need a bite, allow 25-40 mins.
Poppies Anglesea is a fantastic family-run café and nursery on the Great Ocean Road that I thoroughly enjoyed visiting. The place is incredibly welcoming and has a real community vibe. They care about their food and offer lots of options, including gluten-free and vegan dishes, which was great to see. The atmosphere was relaxed, and it felt like everyone, including visitors, was part of a big family. It's more than just a café; it's a place that really values its customers and provides a memorable experience. Whether you're passing through or local, I highly recommend stopping by!
