Predominately caters for the vegetarian crowd with most dishes being vegetarian. The place had a real homely feel sort of like an ancient ski lodge. They serve a range of organic food which is great.

The ambiance and environment at this cafe are wonderful. It is a beautifully appointed, reconditioned blue stone building set up with numerous antique-style dining tables, making it feel like you've just stepped into a private dining room in a period novel. The food is lovely, but you do have to pay for the privilege and, the times I've been there, the wait for service was pretty long. My husband was disappointed by the small size of his main, but the flavor was great.
If you want a special experience and have the time to spend in beautiful surroundings, Earthly Pleasures is well worth it.

My husband and I are vegan and love coming across the many veggie friendly places to eat in Victoria (one of the main reasons why we moved from Perth). I must say we weren't disappointed when we first visited Earthly Pleasures!
Entering the serene gardens from the bustling street was like stepping into another time and place.

On a crisp Autumn afternoon, we walked past the gently trickling old fountain through the door into a gracious olde-world brick and timber interior. We were greeted and seated by friendly staff who were very accommodating to our vegan needs and I'm happy to say, there were plenty of options for us.
The food was well prepared, wholesome and just the right amount for two courses over lunch. I loved the locally made soy ice-cream and ordered an extra helping with our shared dessert, a delicious raspberry crumble.

We were served our first course soon after placing our orders and dessert arrived when we were ready for it, so the timing of meals was very good.
We lingered over coffee feeling pleasantly replete and took in the cosy ambiance of this beautiful old manor.

Whether it be for morning/afternoon tea, lunch or dinner, we recommend this gracious old home and gardens for a vegetarian/vegan sensory experience.
**For us, the service, the food and the atmosphere was excellent - we will consider this a regular haunt from now on!

One of my favourite cafes. The food is very nice, the prices are extremely reasonable and the staff are so nice. I really enjoy my stay here and often extend my visit to two or three chai lattes because they are so good. Very good vegetarian food and delightful atmosphere. I love going in on a cold day to sit by the fire.

Great muffins...the chocolate ones are to die for! Fantastic place for a lazy weekend breakfast. All the food is organic, the coffee is fair trade and everything is tasty. All topped off by a lovely ambience.

The food here is always beautiful, but most times I've been there, there has been quite a wait. It's worth it when it comes out though! A really nice range of organic juices that you shouldn't leave without trying.

Great dining experience. Located in a heritage listed blue stone mansion, with gorgeous high ceilings and lovely firplace. Earthly pleasures is gorgeous. The food is all fresh and cooked with very little oil and salt. It is actually very good value for money when you consider that the ingredients are organic. Has indoor dinning and an outdoor area which overlooks the lawn. Love the food espcially the vege breakfast with scrambled tofu. mmmmm ... And if you can get in early you can get a seat on the coach by the fireplace.

The ambience in this cafe is so relaxing & warm. I was drawn to this beautiful bluestone building with its exposed rafters and rich warm brick interior. Once inside I was met with friendly down to earth service and the soothing sounds of a solo guitar vocalist playing familiar tunes beside a crackling fire in the fireplace. I was surprised to see a lady at the table next to me in a reclining chair feasting on her pasta! They have a good range of vegetarian, vegan and gluten free meals.

Lovely setting and very nice coffee. There is a lot of space for kids to run around or to sit in the garden and read a book and relax, and also a really nice indoor space. We felt the food was a bit overpriced (but many cafes are these days) and the lentil soupd wasn't very tasty, but will go back and try other things.
