This friendly cafe located in Ballarat North is located in a fully renovated bike shop.

The coffees are always made to your taste, with fast and courteous service. There is a light menu with some tasty treats to indulge the taste buds. The ambiance is retro with a warm fireplace and cosy sofas to keep you comfortable during winter.

The Wendouree Library is a small library that may not be well resourced but as it has access to every book/dvd in Victoria it is well worth using.
The staff are so knowledgeable and capable, willing and helpful that if you don't use this library it is well worth making the change. Any resource that you may need can be accessed through the state data base and it doesn't seem to take long to arrive. Thankfully the council hasn't imposed charges to access this and it is still free to use this service (of having any resource delivered to the library for free). Having happy helpful staff makes it a bonus!
Parking is easy because it is at Stocklands.

Located in the Bridge Mall, this coffee shop has a wide selection of cakes, slices and biscuits as well as a lunch menu. They make a great selection of coffees, teas and Chais and they have a wonderful selection of T2 products which they also sell to the general public. The staff are friendly and the service is fast which is fantastic! This makes for repeat customers which we have been now for quite some time because we have not been disappointed.

The Potted Pair is one of my favourite cafes in Ballarat. It is very welcoming with a warm, crackling fire in winter, and has nice big comfy chairs. There are a great range of gifts and cards and it has very friendly staff. They serve delicious cakes and biscuits. There is a really nice brunch menu if you want something else. I've only had the cakes though. The only real negative is that it can be a bit slow at times because it can get so busy! I love this this Cafe it's well worth a try!
