Cute little cafe, as expected, very busy on a Sunday afternoon. Stopped by for some lunch, the pokie bowls are apart of the specials menu in store, usually comes with chicken or tofu, extra charge for smoked salmon. It was wonderful! Everything was super fresh and well prepared. Though I would say that it could have used more peanut sauce as the quinoa and edamame were not seasoned. All elements and ingredients went very well together and it was overall an awesome dish! Zucchini Spaghetti was so crunchy and nice, very well seasoned on it’s own as well. This is a “low carb” dish! Only down side is that though the meatballs were very well seasoned, they were really dry and over cooked - which made it quite difficult to eat. Banana Buzz Smoothie was blended with rolled oats, which made it super thick and nice. Also sweetened with honey, which gave it the perfect amount of natural sweetness. Overall the service was good and prices were really decent. Zucchini Spaghetti & Meatballs, Salmon Pokie Bowl, Banana Buzz Smoothie

Went here for brunch & tried multiple options which were all delicious. Had the Chicken, Avocado, Spinach & Aioli Focaccia which was cripsy & full of fresh ingredients. The Koko Omelette was also flavoursome & satisfying. The butter, cheese & coleslaw with Hot Potatoes was also nice with the butter melting in your mouth. The Special Winter Baked Eggs were the highlight, baked in a pan with a tomato, potato & feta gravy was full of tangy flavour bursting with a variety kf spices (not spicy). It also comes with crispy serving of bread on side to dip into the gravy to enjoy. The Spanish Omelette with chorizo was also good & perfectly balanced with the variety of ingredients used. The cappuccino was also good, not too strong, not too light. Coupled with the quick & friendly service, it hits all the right boxes. Highly recommend this cafe, seems to be a popular spot for local brunches.

I have been here three times in recent weeks with various loved ones. The Eggs Benedict is to die for, and I will come here knowing it will be fantastic on every occasion. The French Toast is also a winner. People I've brought say the coffee is decent (I don't partake!), and I can also say that the tea is done well in pots that generally don't leak! Friendly staff who you can see do an amazing job even when they're under the pump. My only gripe is the the main inside seated area has acoustics that lend themselves to making it louder than it should be. Sitting out front or in the courtyard is more pleasant, even if it's a bit chilly on a winter morning!

  • Mike and Josh C

This is a great local coffee that we go to a lot. Nice hot and strong coffee. Coffee 4.5 - Nice size (Large) coffee which is always hot, nice and strong too. Only downside for us - no cream option which is a bit annoying. Food 4.5 - Cooked VERY well - poached eggs perfect with sausages and bacon cooked just the way we all like, fried tomato very nice Value for money 5 stars - Portion size is generous and for the price outstanding. Service 5 stars - Can’t the service - alway nice greeting and good prompt service even when busy.

  • Cheong K

This is our pit-stop when we cycle from Koomba Park in Wantirna. Total distance round trip is about 26Km. Quite a pleasant ride and to have a break at Koko Lime Cafe is a huge bonus! The coffee is great. And some of our friends had breakfast, and the serving is big and it looks so yummy. They can also split the bill, which was very convenient. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Plenty of places to park our bicycles. I would highly recommend this place for food and drinks and for a pit-stop in your bicycle ride.

  • Phoebe Martin

Koko Lime isn't what it used to be. Chipped plates, dirty cups and the food was disappointing. Asparagus and cheese grilled sandwich was two pieces of Coles white bread, three sprigs of asparagus and plastic cheese toasted on one side for $11. Every vacant table had piles of used plates and cups, the whole place was a mess and smelt like fryer oil.

We came across this lovely cafe on the way to the Dandenong Rangers. Wasn’t expecting much but ended up having a great experience in there. A wide range of food choice with very reasonable prices. The dishes were massive and the coffee was delicious. I also really enjoyed chatting with the friendly staff and I can see that they have built great relationships with some customers in their community.

  • James Langford

Koko Lime used to be our local cafe. My young daughter and I would often stop there for a hot drink and a biscuit, or a sit down breakfast as the first stop on a day out together. We've since moved out of the area, but my daughter often says she misses our old place and specifically, going to Koko Lime. Thanks for the smiles and for being a part of some highly cherished memories! We miss you

  • khaleah smythe

OMG this place is so amazing. The big breakfast is BIG and it’s so yummy The mushrooms are to die for. The coffee is exceptional and sooo creamy I got a cappuccino. My partner loves the lime thickshake and says it’s packed with flavour. I really think this place is such a gem and worth the extra drive. I don’t think any other place can beat it. I’m convinced I love this place.

  • sandi LPJ

Friendly staff Good food Good vibes Difficult for pram access No toilet for children and babies Courtyard is good but limited access and had to share table some times The food display in the cabinet could do with covers which will give freshness and looks good too. No wait space for people who do take away and its awkward and crowded for people who are dining at the tables!!!!

  • J H

I can’t believe I haven’t rated this place sooner. I’m here almost every day. The staff are super friendly, they have never gotten an order wrong, and everything is great value and super tasty! It does get busy, but that’s because all the locals know how good it is. If you are just passing through and need a coffee - they make the best by far. Definitely worth a stop in.

Great tasting food, friendly staff and the atmosphere was nice too. I had driven by many times, and am glad that I took the opportunity to come and try this place out. Aside from their beautifully presented food and delicious drinks, they were accommodating with any request we had. Also, their seasoning is perfectly on point. We will definitely be back here again !

  • Aidan Almady

$6 large chocolate milkshake pretty much just tasted like plain milk and nothing else. Ordered a strawberry milkshake as well and was not much better, basically tasted like plain milk with next to no syrup. Considering how large the shakes are in a tin, it'd be good if the flavour was significantly improved so it's not like just drinking 500ml of plain milk.

  • Zachary Xavier

Food and coffee were quite outstanding for the reasonable cost. We had two meals and a coffee for under $35. Coffee and Eggs Benedict we're the highlights. Big Breakfast is literally just that, a plate full of food. I expected "just another outer suburban cafe", I am quite proudly wrong :) Also, for those with dogs they have a water bowl set up out front.

  • Oliver

Really good food and coffee! Hidden gem on the foot of Dandenong ranges. The price to quality ratio is great. Service is quick and friendly. The choices and dishes have a great variety, not a mundane menu. Must try!!

Friendly staff and food was nice but we had to leave as the noise was deafening! The coffee grinder was extremely noisy and the chairs on the concrete floor need floor protection to soften them. Or fix the acoustics! Unfortunately it ruined the experience and for that reason I won’t go back.

coffee is a bit better then some I've been served but really its saf when the equipment is wonderful and yet no-one has been able to get a bit of training in to understand(let alone make it) the difference between a cappuccino and a flat white. I am however won over by the menu and pre-prepared foccacias & brightly colored salads..

  • Madison Leanne

Absolutely terrible service. Order an omelette with gluten free bread. Took 25 minutes from them to tell me that they were even out of bread then another 10 minutes until my meal came out. After the 35 minutes my coffee was cold. The omelette wasn't even that tasty after a 35 minute wait. This place put a sour taste in my mouth.

  • Lauren Ashley

Beautiful little cafe we found for brekkie while riding along the Dandenong Creek Trail. Staff were welcoming and very friendly! Our food was delicious and very good for the price compared to previous cafes I have visited. An extra plus was that our food was served on warm plates. Will definitely be returning soon!

Great coffee. Friendly service. Helpful staff.. they were happy to accommodate our time constraints. Perhaps a little bit noisy for my liking .. would benefit from some sound baffles on walls and ceilings.. perhaps disguised as artwork.. just a thought :-)

One pet peeve I have is they label their coffees regular, large, extra large. Had to pay for a drink I didn't want because I thought large was the biggest they have. Why places do this is beyond me. It's not even an extra large. They just
