I'm a fan.
I recently started getting my coffee's here, and the staff in the mornings are always so lovely and cheerful.
The coffee here is a proper large, and it gets me off to a good start to my day.
Sometimes, I'll swing past again for lunch.
In the past, I have ordered the 'Big Breaky Bash' and when I last ordered it, there was a new menu in place and it came with some onion rings too!
However, my new favourite is the brisket on potato rosti with poached eggs.
If I am super hungry, I'll order the Big Breaky, but otherwise my new go to is the brisket and eggs.
Delish.

I was so impressed with our lovely wait staff , Sarah, who managed the cafe floor solo and did it all with a big bright smile. Food, service and atmosphere- awesome 🤩 I had a delicious salad and great macchiato!

The 2 stars are purely for the lovely young staff behind the counter who were friendly and welcoming.
Unfortunately the food was overpriced and average quality.
I regularly stop in Emerald or Monbulk to grab coffee and a breakfast item on my way to work. This is the first time in about a year I stopped at this venue, but had enjoyed the food back when it was Sticks and Stones.
I was charged $23 for a coffee and a ham and cheese toastie from the premade display case to take away.
This combo is somewhere between $15-$18 elsewhere for the same quality of food and same level of venue.
The toastie was excessively buttered and had large amounts of orange cheese, with the thinnest slice of ham folded in the centre to make it look like there was more. Unfortunately this left most of the toastie with no ham at all. The bread was tough (even by sourdough standards!).
It was slathered in what appeared to be pickle relish, which was not listed on the window sign, and I would not have purchased if I had known this would be the main flavour.
The coffee was average, although it was a good size.
Overall, very underwhelming and I would rather visit the other local cafes that provide better food, and a similar level of service for a lower price.

Can't speak highly enough of this place. Coffee is perfect (and I'm fussy), The El Grande breakfast was so full of flavour and value for money. Now let's talk about the service,.. You honestly couldn't ask for more, and we are pretty sure one of the girls has a future as a comedian.
You need to stop in at Over The Road. You won't regret it!

This is a wonderful place, the service is absolutely amazing. The chef themselves came to address our questions about the menu. The menu has ample options & really interesting menu items. They have jackfruit loaded fries & jackfruit burrito/burger, which actually is a delicious combo contrary to how it may sound. The chef made it exactly to our liking, we wanted it with a kick of spiciness to it. Tried the loaded jackfruit fries which was full of flavour, must try dish. Also got the el flamo mexican rice bowl, the chicken was full of flavour, it paired beautifully with their chilli oil & the rice had just the right amount of flavour, not drying at all. The serving size was also decent. Tried their blueberry mocktail, if you like sour drinks this one is for you! The Veggie Pattie Burrito also was really good. Apart from wonderful food & service, the ambience is really nice, there was live music which just added to the whole experience. Must visit if in the area!
