Cornerstone Café is Ballarat’s brunch favourite

Words by Chloe Cicero

Cornerstone Café is one of Ballarat's cosiest places to stay caffeinated and indulge in delicious breakfast and lunch treats.

Local Ballarat gal Nicole had a dream of creating a small and welcoming café, and just 12 months ago, that dream came true. By bringing you Cornerstone Café, owner and chef Nicole has well and truly smashed her dream, and has ensured the locals and passers-by of Ballarat have somewhere cosy to enjoy. Not only is the vibe cosy and welcoming, but the food and coffee is spectacular. Brewing a delicious cup of Melbourne local Coffee Supreme will definitely have you coming back for more.

If you’re looking for somewhere to go that serves amazingly crafted breakfast and lunch dishes that will not only inspire you, but leave you feeling completely satisfied, Cornerstone has you covered. Featuring a menu that rotates with the seasons, some of the current menu highlights include the Turkish Eggs, Rigatoni alla Vodka, the Banoffee Waffles and a Hot Honey Haloumi Burger. The menu also includes a couple of breakfast cocktail classics, which are definitely right up your alley. 

Cornerstone prides themselves on using local suppliers as much as they can. They use eggs from Sunnybank Farm, mushrooms from the Mushroom Connection, bacon from Istra Smallgoods, goats cheese from Wedgetail Farm, hot chocolate from Grounded Pleasures, and some absolutely incredible cookies from Sweet As El – rumour has it they sell out constantly, so you better get in quick. The café also stocks DC Cartel Chilli oil, Goldi olive oil, Saltbush Kitchen native salt, and Prana chai, which are all Victorian products. The local products don’t stop there, trying to stick to local Victorian brewers such as Shedshaker, Bells Beach Brewing, Noodledoor, The Happy Winemaker, Cheapstowe Winery and Mt Coghill Wines, just to name a few. 

Whether it’s a takeaway coffee before work, a relaxing weekend brunch with the gals, or you just need a reason to leave the house, Cornerstone Café comes highly recommended for all things caffeinated, sweet, savoury, and most importantly, absolutely delicious.

Visit Cornerstone Café now at 206 South Street, Ballarat 3350. They are open Tuesday – Friday, 6:30am – 3pm, and Saturday & Sunday, 8am – 2pm.
