Stopped here with my wife and daughter for a coffee. Kind of quiet with 2 people in. Very hippyish products for sale. Coffee was excellent, a good bean well roasted and thoroughly enjoyed it. Didn’t try the food hence can’t give it the 5 stars. But worth a stop for a coffee.

Excellent Service. Hot coffee. Lovely atmosphere. Quirky old modern style. Inside and outside seating. Open for breakfast and have daily specials. Worth the time to take a break.

Staff were lovely. Great coffee, we had cakes, and they were great. Service was a bit slow, and staff needed to look at tables when coming back from serving food to pick up the empty plates and cups off tables. A flat white should have next to no froth or foam. We've been twice and would still come back.

A true country style breakfast in Mount Barker! The Grocery Store Cafe is the place! The staff actually made eye contact and pleasant small talk with me, the bacon was “locally sourced” and actually tasted like it (unlike similarly labelled product I’ve had in other places), and the hot breakfast was served on a heated plate so the food didn’t immediately become cold. These small touches: friendly and engaged staff, true good quality food, and the heated plate made for a lovely breakfast! Oh, did I mention the price was reasonable too, and not only that, the coffee was fantastic! The decor is perfect - authentic retro feel without stooping to the pretentiousness and self-important vibe that many cafes indulge in (in vain attempts to justify their aloof service and ridiculous prices). If you’re ever near Albany I recommend a visit to the Porongorups and while there a breakfast at The Grocery Store Cafe in Mount Barker!

This was a good stop on our travels up the highway. We had a delicious omelette and egg on toast. It was fresh and tasty. Prompt service. The cafe decor is rustic and fits the region. A good alternative to the bakery

This is a lovely place! Love the building. Staff were friendly. Breakfast was good! We had eggs on toast and the waffles. The coffee was decent. No weekend surcharge like other venues in town. Will definitely dine here again.
