"Absolutely lovely staff, amazing breakfast and fab service 👌"
"Excellent coffee and chai latte with a slice of Irish Tea Loaf each."
5 My husband and I stopped here this morning on our travels. It was raining and stormy so we were looking for a good coffee and chai. What a wonderful find this cafe was. Excellent coffee and chai latte with a slice of Irish Tea Loaf each. Delicious and moorish! The atmosphere was warm and friendly as were the lovely staff. Definitely recommend a stop here in this lovely little town.
5 If there was a 6 out of 5 star, the Jackson’s would get it. Absolutely lovely atmosphere and amazing food. I normally alternate between the berry delight smoothie and the strawberry fields because I can not pick which one I enjoy more. Donna makes them absolutely delightful and it’s a delight to visit.
5 Lucky that I found this wonderful café on our return trip from Sydney to Melbourne. We arrived around 3pm when the café was almost closed. The lady working there was so kind and explained that the kitchen had already closed, so we ordered a few bakery items, including a sausage roll. I was honestly shocked by how good it was. The sausage roll didn’t taste like a typical one at all — the meat inside was tender and juicy, and the pastry was perfectly crisp and buttery. It was easily the best sausage roll I’ve ever had. I’m already planning to visit this café again on the weekend, even if it means driving 2.5 hours from Melbourne. Totally worth it.
5 Delicious breakfast, yummiest Berry smoothie, friendly & welcoming customer service, beautiful atmosphere! Looking forward to our next annual trip for breakfast, and that yummy & refreshing smoothie! Oh, and my dad said it was the best coffee he's had in a long time! Thankyou!
5 Tried the Sausage Roll & Apple Crumble — super fresh, tasty and so satisfying Definitely coming back to try more dishes next time
5 Every time I visit Violet Town I head here. You will truly the best coffee for miles around! Atmosphere is cosy and relaxed. Staff are warm and welcoming and food prepared with love. They also have a range of fresh produce and gift items for sale. If you are driving up or down the Hume Hwy, do yourself a favour and pull into Violet Town and check out Jackson Produce - you won't be disappointed.
5 Our favourite place to stop for breakfast. The best mushrooms I’ve had in my life, all lovely fresh produce with such friendly service and a beautiful setting.
5 Country kindness with amazing tasty quality food. When your journey takes you to unexpected places and you find yourself cared for by amazing people with great food. You kind of feel like home. Thank you and keep being wonderful country people. You are the pinnacle of our beautiful land.
