There are two cafes in Gembrook (and a pizza joint and a greasy spoon and the pub which has food in the pricier range) and I like Charlottes the most for a quick bite.
My coffee was reasonable - I'm not a huge fusspot - and their cakes were delicious. You could get coffee and cake for $7-50 which is a bit of a bargain and their lunch dishes (quiche etc) ranged from $8 - $16.
They do breakfast too.
The ambience is great and the staff are pleasant.
I did pick up a hamburger from the greasy spoon later (the pizza joint was closed) and oh dear me - not good.

This is a cafe, book shop, Vintage Motoring museum and collectables shop - all banged up together in an olde worlde service station called The Motorist.
It was a public holiday so the cafe had a limited menu - but the coffee was ok.
(Was puzzled why they weren't going full steam ahead on a public holiday when folks are out driving around and looking for a cafe, but hey. Maybe the staff wanted a holiday too.)
The motoring museum had quite a steep entrance fee and I am not that stoked about cars so we didn't do that.
But husband was thrilled to see an old Rolls-Royce parked around the back.
The collectables shop had some great stuff, I enjoyed poking round in there.
My thrill was to find two great books for 3 bucks. Woo woo!

What a pretty town. Stay safe now.
We took a run out to this pretty little town last week. What a charmer. It is close to the Dandenong Ranges (the Puffing Billy ends up here) but it is over the border and in Gippsland.
