I had my 60th bday at Cafe 3858 last Saturday and the place was just perfect for the fun loving rowdy group of people who attended. The food was excellent and catered for all ages. The decor is welcoming and at this time of the year the open fire was so appreciated. Zac was cheeky and kept the lunch on track. The menu had variety and the food was fresh and delicious. Well done! to the young team of waiters who were very professional and courteous. A very enjoyable day. Thank you Zac and Jamie.
Don't arrive late-morning on a Sunday! My friend and I arranged to meet at Cafe 3858 on our way to retrieve some walkers near Lake Tali Karng. On arrival we discovered that the breakfast menu was finished and that the lunch menu was not yet available - which was made more frustrating because the display cabinet had already been filled with the food that was to be sold as lunch!!! As we knew that this was to be our last available café until our return 5+ hours later, we ordered coffees and a muffin. The coffee was acceptable, the muffin had been reheated and lost its structural integrity. I'm not sure I rate Cafe 3858 as Good, but Poor-Fair seems a bit too harsh. I've had a lot worse in small town cafés. I would not travel to Heyfield for this café, but if you are already passing through when the kitchen staff are working it is probably okay.
As part of a CFA Strike Team 1401 attending the Aberfeldy - Donnelly's Creek fire on 25/01/13 - 27/01/2013, we went into Cafe 3858 for coffees after our second patrol run on the Saturday. Coffee was great and service was fantastic. Then on the Sunday when we returned following our first patrol run, the owners were exceptional in shouting the full strike team a round of coffees (approx 30 coffees)!! This was very much appreciated and I would recommend everyone to support this cafe when you are in the area!!
