  Its the perfect place for a 3.5 score if only that score was available to award.

  This is a good local option for a meal or snack. Laneway Expresso appears to do a bustling business on what we saw. There were plenty of people in here on a cool Melbourne winter day today. The cafe did well to make sure they had enough people to keep up the service.

  The place has quirky decor with no apparent unifying theme other than retro. Its not unpleasant though and it gives the place a warming eccentric feel.

  The worlds most beautiful woman chose a chicken and avocado toastie which she declared to be good and competently made. She liked it. I selected the mediterranean breakfast which was quite good as well. It needed the added side of bacon though I thought. The eggs were beautifully done and I was delighted theyd seasoned them really well including with some very good pepper. The accompanying salad was very well made and had excellent flavour including from some abundant and nicely blended feta. All in all, the dish worked well.

  Nice place here. Ill certainly return.

  My friend & I stumbled across Laneway Espresso after a night away in Dromana. Its a great little cafe attached to an antique type shop. A cute laneway outdoor area which I imagine would be amazing in summer, right opposite the beach.

  We ordered coffees & breakfasts which arrived really quickly even though it was pretty busy. The coffee was strong & both our dishes were delicious. They also have a great range of cakes along with take away options. The service was fast & friendly & Ill definitely go back next time Im in the area.

  The latte is great. However, due to having only one machine, the line is quite long. It took us 30minutes to get our coffee.
  The desired extra hot latte was not hot. The takeaway cups with sugar should come with spoons.

  Overall, the place is lovely. Id like to come back later.

  Set facing the beach a heritage decorated cafe. Staff are professional and friendly. Coffee smells awesome. Smash pumpkin favour balanced with acidity and added nuts for crunchy texture. Love the peacefulness sitting and resting after the long drive.

  The locals stated its worth the wait (referring to the coffee) After receiving our coffee from a 25 mins wait, we can surely tell you it wasnt.

  Apart from coffee, we absolutely adore their delicious cakes and even though we havent tried their food, we can understand why this is a local favourite. The blueberry cheesecake and carrot cake caught our eye- they were both fluffy, light and not too sweet.

  If youre in the area and dont mind the wait, you should drop by and check out what they have to offer.

  Would I return? If I was a local for sure as it seemed to be the best caf for miles. In saying that it is not up to Melbourne standards but they charge the same price.

  Laneway Espresso Dromana is a large caf attached to an antique shop. There is a cute laneway outdoor area which I imagine would be amazing in summer, right opposite the beach. The cafe has quirky decor with no apparent unifying theme other than retro. It is pleasant and gives the place a warming eccentric feel. A great place for large groups, families and everything in between. If you like Antics and alike its would be great to be able to have a wonder through the shop before or after your meal.

  The coffee came quick and was good especially if you were to compare to others in the area. We also ordered a juice which wasnt fresh but from a bottle which is always slightly disappointing. Our food ordered consisted of the Old Fashion Bacon & Eggs and the Mediterranean Breakfast.

  The Old Fashion Bacon & Eggs was just that. Two pieces of toast, with bacon and two eggs. Simple! The bacon was definitely done in the oven and was a dark golden red – that’s how bacon should be! The eggs were running and cooked well also. The Mediterranean Breakfast was something I havent seen anything like on a menu before. It was basically a Greek salad on bread with eggs. That may seem gross to some people but my partner said it tasted pretty good so check out the images. Overall both dishes were cooked and presented well however for the complexity of the meals and their ingredients it was a tad over priced.

  Service? Would be better if you didnt have to order at the counter
  Wrap up: This place is a reasonable staple for brekkie in Dromana.
  HOT TIP: They have several newspapers to share around if you can grab one.
