Best Coffee

We love a good coffee and the surfcoast is full of incredible cafes and coffee haunts. Here are a selection of our favourite places we love.
Swell cafe is our favourite local, which happens to have the best coffee and an incredible dine in or take away menu. Located in the small hub of Jan Juc shops, just across the road from the Bird Rock look out.

For those using Sea Joy as a base to explore the surrounding area, Hero's Vineyard is a beautiful day trip, settled in amongst the Pennyroyal valley in the Otway hinterland it is worth making the trip to taste this local wine maker. Be sure to check their opening hours as they do fluctuate with seasons.
