As we get readjusted to COVID-19 lockdown our cafes and eateries are closed off for dining in, there are loads of places which are providing takeaway and delivery options (thank goodness!) so we can still get our daily dose of local fare and, more importantly, strong coffee.<\/p>\n
With that in mind here\u2019s a list of some of the most-prized cafes, so next time you\u2019re craving your morning cup of joe or afternoon pick-me-up, you know exactly who to call. Many of the cafes are also available on the Skip App, so you can order ahead of time, jump the queue and have your warming coffee delivered straight into your hands.<\/p>\n
Johnny Alloo<\/strong><\/p>\n One of the newer kids on the block, Johnny Alloo is owned by local coffee connoisseur Matt Freeman. Named after the owner of Ballarat\u2019s first Chinese restaurant, Johnny\u2019s is housed in a historic red brick building which has been completely renovated inside to reflect an elegant, art-deco vibe. Combine this with the fact that the Sensory Lab coffee is silky, smooth and seductive, and you have a caf\u00e9 experience that\u2019s hard to beat.<\/p>\n Webster\u2019s Market and Caf\u00e9<\/strong><\/p>\n A sure Ballarat fave, Webster\u2019s is owned by husband-and-wife duo Jane and Felipe Meneses Lopez and is the perfect place to go after your morning lakeside stroll. Located along the beautiful tree-lined Webster Street and just minutes away from Lake Wendouree, the caf\u00e9 serves up a warming brew by passionate baristas who clearly live for their coffee.<\/p>\n The Turret<\/strong><\/p>\n Also situated in a beautifully restored heritage building, The Turret prides itself on serving up great coffee with equally excellent service. And as if that\u2019s not enough, this caf\u00e9 has an awesome array of house made cakes that pair perfectly with your morning or arvo brew.<\/p>\n
