Point of View Cafe

One of the local cafés in, Point of View Cafe sits in Lilydale with a respectable 3.2-star Google rating. 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.

Notable features include outdoor seating that takes advantage of the Yarra Valley setting and wheelchair access and accessibility features. One recent guest summed it up: "Fantastic strong coffee full of flavour by the amazing Christine this morning.. Come and check this place out"

Point of View Cafe is open five days a week — typically a Wednesday-to-Sunday pattern that works around the region's weekend visitor surge. Weekend mornings get busy from around 9am through 11am — visit earlier or post-noon for shorter waits.

You'll find Point of View Cafe at Lilydale Lakeside, Jarlo Drive, Lilydale VIC 3140, Australia. With bookings on 03 8892 2579. Worth combining with a longer drive through the Yarra Valley to break up the day.
