Lumbar & Co

"Lumbar cafe scones do not disappoint. What a beautiful spot to spend a Sunday afternoon. The staff are friendly and the food is fantastic."

"Had a lovely lunch here with friends ! The staff are super kind and accomodating. A lot of us got one of their toasties and they were all so good, with pretty big portions and beautiful fresh bread and ingredients. Also their fresh scones are must! would definitely recommend for a cozy lunch or breakfast and will definitely be coming back ourselves :)"

"A big shout out to Rick and Paul for the best customer service experience ever, their hospitality is something you pray to come across the steak sandwich was outstanding and the cake was everything!! The scenery while we ate was something out of a book. Highly recommend "

"What a great cafe. Found it by accident and am so glad I did. Great food and coffee. The location is exceptional and in this cold weather have a great fire pit to stay warm if outside. Inside is also warm and cosy. Staff are so friendly. Can’t wait to go back for lunch but for now I can say the coffee and scones are excellent."

"I had a fantastic experience with Lumbar & Co! The chef is very professional, kind and attentive since he really takes time to listen and talk with customers. The team was knowledgeable, welcoming, and truly cared about my comfort. The space stays inside Brimbank Park and it is clean, calming, and beautiful. I left feeling so much better and confident that I was in great hands. Highly recommend Lumbar & Co to anyone looking for exceptional care and top-notch service!"

"Lumbar & Co is a true gem in Brimbank Park, a café that goes above and beyond in both food and service. Every visit is marked by warmth, professionalism, and genuine hospitality. The setting is beautiful, but it’s the people that really make the experience memorable. Rick, the chef , is nothing short of outstanding. His meals are consistently fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. Beyond his skill in the kitchen, he’s always friendly, courteous, and incredibly efficient, making guests feel looked after from the moment they arrive. Sue, behind the coffee machine, is an absolute star. An excellent barista, she takes pride in crafting the perfect cup every time, always professional and precise. What makes her stand out is her ability to remember every customer’s name and order, adding a personal touch that makes you feel like more than just a customer. Together, the team at Lumbar & Co embody what great hospitality should be, welcoming, attentive, and passionate about what they do. It’s not just a café stop; it’s a place where you feel part of a community. Highly recommended for anyone wanting great food, exceptional coffee, and even better service."
