Just had drinks and a light meal. Their freshly squeezed juice was really nice, and the pizza bread with sweet chilli and sour cream was pretty tasty. The lighting and seats inside were pretty cool too.

First visit after recomendation from a work friend. Great location only a walk across the road to our movie. Tried the Kangaroo which was as good as any meal i have had in Ballarat, my wife was rapt with her barramundi. Good list of local wines, wait staff (who i think was the owner) also had great knowledge of his wines. I heard they do great coffee to but didn't get a chance to sample this.

Approximate cost: $16-24

First visit since the new owners have taken over, seems to have had a revamp on the menu with great choice, plenty of vegetarian options for my wife. particulary enjoyed a cheese and wine afternoon they run on weekends. Steak was sensational, little bit of a wait but the place was full, overall good experience

The first few times i went there it was great, loved the atmosphere and the couches in the window, great meals, range of hot chocolate flavors, however had a not so good experience the last time I went there were the meal was not up to the usual standard.

Approximate cost: $20

I have been there many times, and have always enjoyed the food, coffee and ambience. The staff are friendly and efficient, the food and drinks can be a bit pricy, but it is worth it. I love the varied artworks, and they always have good music.

Java lounge is a great little place, pretty trendy, a good selection of bites and beer/coffee. The serivce is usually pretty good although last time we went, all but 1 meal came out which was pretty dissapointing.

I have had mixed experiences at Java Lounge. The first couple of times I felt that the food was quite nice but not brilliant service. The last time I went the food was really disappointing. The way it is set up is cool but its is generally a let down.

Approximate cost: $18.00

I went to Java Lounge last night with my Girlfriend and 3 friends, we all liked the sound or the calamari, so we ordered 3 sweet chili calamari and 2 lime and pepper (one gluten free) and also 2 Nachos. The nachos were rather burnt but surprisingly that added an interesting flavor to the mix, however the calamari was considered by all to be very poor, my lime and pepper had only a hint of lime while my girlfriends was over powered with the lime. The service was disappointing as it was rather slow and the waiter was new and to boot there were only 5 other customers in there!
