Cellar Door

One of the local cafés in, Cellar Door sits in Yarra Glen and holds a 4.4-star rating across 108 Google reviews. Like many Yarra Valley cafés, the pull here is a combination of solid coffee, considered food, and the kind of unhurried atmosphere that suits everyone from weekend escape-the-city brunchers to local regulars.

Expect quality coffee, a focused brunch menu through to early afternoon, and the kind of all-day food that suits whether you're starting a Yarra Valley drive or wrapping one up. Most stop service mid-afternoon, so plan accordingly.

The venue is notable for outdoor seating that takes advantage of the Yarra Valley setting. One recent guest summed it up: "One of our favourite spots for a lunch break during a day in the Yarra Valley. Great wines and food."

Cellar Door operates 7 days a week, giving plenty of options for fitting it into a Yarra Valley itinerary. Weekend mornings get busy from around 9am through 11am — visit earlier or post-noon for shorter waits.

You'll find Cellar Door at 1275 Melba Hwy, Yarra Glen VIC 3775, Australia. With bookings on 03 9730 2003. And full menu details on the venue's website. Worth combining with a longer drive through the Yarra Valley to break up the day.
