I recently had the pleasure of visiting DJ’s Cafe and was thoroughly impressed. I enjoyed the most delicious and fresh salad roll I’ve ever had, and it was so good that I decided to get another one to take back to Melbourne. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. The staff at DJ’s Cafe were exceptionally friendly and helpful, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. It was a very pleasant lunch, and the service added to the positive experience. The cafe itself is charming with a great space and ample seating inside. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a comfortable spot to relax and enjoy your meal. There’s also plenty of free street parking available, which makes visiting convenient. Overall, DJ’s Cafe is a fantastic place to stop by for a meal. I would definitely visit again and highly recommend it to anyone in the area!

Finally got to stop and try DJ’s cafe and not disappointed at all. Great atmosphere and service plus the food was fresh and filling - unlike another local place serving bird size portions. Definitely be happy to go back there again and sample more of their home made goodies. Thanks folks!

The passionfruit sponge was delicious. A real old fashioned, country sponge cake. Would strongly recommend - I brought a whole one to take home.

Third time coming here on road trips. It’s still hands down the best passionfruit sponge cake I’ve ever had. When you come for cake, it’s hard not to want to buy a slice of everything!
