Welcome to Expresso Eatery, a hidden gem nestled at shop 29/248 Penola Rd in the heart of Mount Gambier, SA. This quaint café is more than just a place to grab a quick bite; it’s a vibrant gathering spot for the community, where every visit feels like catching up with an old friend.

At Expresso Eatery, the menu is a delightful journey of flavors that caters to all tastes. Imagine starting your day with eggs Benedict, perfectly poached and enrobed in a rich, velvety hollandaise sauce. While one reviewer noted a slight bitterness in the sauce, they still celebrated the experience, highlighting the café's exceptional coffee and their amazing chips and gravy as the perfect sidekick. For lunch, you can't go wrong with the salt and pepper squid – a crispy yet tender treat that’s popular among diners, or the indulgent pasta la espresso, bursting with cheesy goodness and aromatic garlic that dances on your palate.

The beverage selection is equally impressive. Dive into an iced chocolate that will transport your taste buds to a world of dark chocolate bliss, or opt for a creamy caramel milkshake that your partner will surely adore. The café’s smoothies are also praised for being refreshingly delightful, but do keep in mind the service experience can be a tad hit or miss; one customer shared a less-than-stellar interaction with a staff member, though many others raved about the attentive service.

What sets Expresso Eatery apart is not just the food but also the welcoming atmosphere that envelops you as soon as you walk through the door. Families, friends, and couples alike can gather here, and even special occasions like birthday parties are seamlessly accommodated, as shared by a satisfied customer who praised the team for their exceptional service during her daughter’s celebration.

With a commitment to delivering excellent food and warm ambiance, Expresso Eatery is a spot you’ll want to revisit time and again. Whether you’re fueling up for a day of exploring Mount Gambier or simply treating yourself to a moment of indulgence, this café promises an experience that will linger long after your last sip of coffee. So, why not pay them a visit? Your taste buds will thank you!

My fiancé and I just had lunch here and I ordered an iced chocolate which was amazing as it tasted like dark chocolate, my fiancé loved his caramel milkshake. For lunch we had the salt and pepper squid which was yummy and the pasta la espresso which was so cheesy and garlicky.

"Great service! I had my daughter’s birthday party at Expresso Eatery, and they were fantastic! Best coffee and milkshakes, and super quick service. We were a little delayed, but they were awesome and very accommodating."

We only had drinks...their smoothies are amazing BUT the lady who served us was not the most pleasant person to deal with..my partner wouldn't order anything because of her attitude.
