What a bombshell new cafe! The matcha soy latte, chicken burger, chocolate milkshake and pork panini were absolutely mind blowing. And the prices are so low they truly do not reflect the taste, care and skill put into this food. It won’t be long until they surely raise the prices- it would be crazy not to! This is definitely my new favorite place. The service was also lovely!!

I visited Ballarat today and was looking for a vegetarian option. I had an incredible Halloumi cheese burger at newly open B Town Café. Amazingly delicious burger with the homemade corn and zucchini patty. The coffee was great . Absolutely worth trying their foods when you are in the town. I liked their in house green apple and tomato spicy relish sauce. They generously gave free sauce to take home.

Absolutely delicious and generous! The lemon pepper and honey mustard chicken wings were a highlight and as we were sharing, we were gifted two extra for the two flavours and they were both so good we couldn't pick a favourite! The burgers were yum and the choc brownie the perfect chaser to a delightful meal. Thank you!

My husband, sister and I visited B Town Eatery on Easter public holiday and to say we were amazed is an understatement! The service was quick, kind and fantastic! The menu has many options, and super affordable. My husband and I both had the grilled chicken burger which was absolutely incredible (11/10), and my sister had the pulled pork panini which she said was the best panini she has ever had. The food came out fast, and the coffee was delicious and strong. Highly recommend!

Very solid brekky/brunch offerings with good portions. The value is the cherry on top of hearty food and warm customer service. It's criminal that this spot hasn't been busier when we've dropped in! A wide range of options and none have disappointed so far.

Came here with my partner in the morning, we were immediately met with friendly faces at the counter and were seated immediately. We both got matcha lattes for our drinks, then the classic schnitzel panini and the B-town's benny for our food. ~ MATCHA LATTE We got the large size and found the serving very generous! The matcha is well done and our drinks came out hot, and perfectly steamed milk. B-TOWN'S BENNY The eggs Benedict was simple yet perfect; it feels as though many places overcomplicate eggs Benedict, but we found the B-Town Benny just spoke for itself. The hollandaise sauce was creamy, tangy, nicely seasoned, and excellently portioned. The poached eggs were lovely and runny, and the muffin was soft despite being lightly toasted. CLASSIC SCHNITZEL PANINI The chicken schnitzel was crispy and stayed that way, while still being moist inside. Grilled onions were a nice touch, and we found them to be perfectly caramelised, really bringing it together. Lastly, the bread was lightly toasted and soft. Overall it was a true classic chicken schnitzel panini, so comforting, and oh so yummy! ~ ATMOSPHERE was cozy and welcoming. We personally found the music to be a bit too loud, having trouble hearing each other despite being the only patrons at the time, but something like that is very easily remedied. OVERALL we very thoroughly enjoyed our time here and were surprised to be the only customers dining at the time. We will be recommending this place to friends and will definitely become a staple for us when on Sturt Street!

Had a great lunch today at B town eatery, we tried many things there starting from Orange and banana bread, milkshakes, brugers, pasta, coffee and to my surprise everything worth it. Portions size was sumptuous and pocket friendly. We will visit again if we visit Ballarat again until then….take it easy
