This place serves amazing breakfast coffee. It is very reasonably priced and their portioning is generous. The eggs benedict was just perfect. Eggs were nicely cooked, nicely paired with your choice of protein and amazing sourdough. The breakfast special was really delicious and unique as well. I’ve never had pumpkin and potato pulled pork before and I’m glad my first time was good. The kids pancake was the best pancakes I’ve ever eaten, GET IT.

Completely agree with other reviewers. It’s one of those great neighbourhood cafes with friendly staffs, good coffee/food, reasonable price and generous portions. My chilli scramble was well seasoned and pancakes were very moist. Flat white was smooth. Couldn’t ask for more. It’s a perfect place for Sunday brunch.

Two of us came to Cafe Lugano on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. We ordered the smoked salmon, and the grilled chicken burger with chips, as well as a caramel milkshake. The chicken was absolutely delicious I must say. The portions were very generous for both the food and drinks. The customer service was excellent too. Thank you so much Cafe Lugano! I would recommend this Cafe to anyone who visits Phillip Island and Cowes.

Great service even though obviously busy. Food and coffee arrived in just minutes. Food delicious and very reasonably priced, we ordered one of the gluten free options and enjoyed it very much. Coffee was just a little hot denaturing the milk, the only reason I’m holding back on the fifth star. Overall a lovely breakfast experience.
