Great little cafe! On holiday from South Australia seeing family. Stopped here and really enjoyed the cappuccino I had. Cute and homey interior with a cute back area. The people here were super friendly but also really professional. Great spot!

Definitely worth the visit if you're in the area! So many delicious gluten free options. I opted for the Arabesque without spinach and added avocado. It was delicious! The balance of flavours, the crunchy home made gluten free bread and the perfectly poached eggs! I purchased a gluten free loaf to take home. The environment has a community feel, staff are lovely and very attentive. Will definitely come back when I am in the area again! Thank you

This place is a workday staple for me, their food is really tasty. The staff are very friendly and remember your name when your a regular. It is a chill space to have a wet chai on a rainy day. I highly recommend the Arabesque, or Fire in the hole (when it is on the menu). Their beetroot relish is so good and worth the price.

Cute and cosy family run Cafe with the warm personality and service to match. Ordered a magic and the Sheepish (warm) Salad (lamb based) - $38 with added poached egg and pumpkin but will defs return again for this. Fresh and quality ingredients are used! Limited seating inside (about 12 spots in the front end, more in the back) so get in when not too busy. They also have outside seating but it was too cold/windy today for that. Apparently they don't take bookings but accommodate as best as they can.

Stopped in for a matcha latté and was so pleased with the warm welcome from the staff that I decided to stay for something to eat. Waffles were so good! Thank you for your friendly service and delicious food.

This is the second time I’ve been here. The second time was much better. Yummy food, the cornbread is to die for.My only concern with this place is the pricing. It’s a little expensive for what you get.My plate had halloumi, cornbread and an egg and was around $22-25. It’s just a little on the pricey side.Lovely staff :)

Just meh.. we paid $30 dollars for a breakfast bowl with avo, cornbread, eggs, hot sauce and feta.. just lacked flavour and finesse. Got the oat hot chocolate which was chocolate coloured but tasted just of oat. Avocado and corn salsa has an overpowering citrus (lemon) flavour and everything else was just so so. Croissant wasn’t to bad but $12 for ham a cheese for it to be just ok doesn’t really make sense. Was hoping for so much bud in the end was disappointed.

Fairness and flavours that unite!We recently dropped by The General Store in Emerald for Sunday brunch and were super impressed. Their commitment to fairness shines through in everything they do.The cleverly designed menu is all about keeping things fresh and local, using seasonal ingredients sourced from the best spots in Victoria. The brunch options hit the bullseye, delivering tasty meals with quality ingredients that didn’t disappoint.The crew at The General Store aren't just friendly, they're on top of their game. Knowledgeable, helpful, and with a laid-back vibe that sets the perfect mood. The service? Quick and efficient with no time wasted. You'll be in and out with a smile.Now for the coffee. They've partnered up with the coffee gurus at Coffee Supreme in Melbourne, and the result? Pure java bliss. Seriously, their brew is top-notch and will give you that caffeine kick you need.But here’s what truly sets The General Store apart: They walk the talk when it comes to fairness. They’ve created a workplace where everyone is treated right, paid fairly, and respected. That positive energy permeates the place and adds an extra sprinkle of goodness to your visit.If you’re hankering for a brunch experience that combines deliciousness with a dedication to fairness, The General Store in Emerald is where you need to be. They’ve got it all—friendly staff, locally sourced goodness, and a vibe that instantly makes you feel right at home. You won’t be disappointed.
