"We ordered the soup of the day (Tomato corn soup), shepards pie and a hot Chocolate. It was just amazing to dine here, I have never had such amazing soup"

"A little pricey for my liking but the food was so worth it, my partner and I ended up coming here to eat lunch TWICE on our four day visit to Colac. Great food, great people - they were all so lovely. Food: I had lasagna which wasn’t my favourite but still pretty damn good - salad and chips were great too, hot chocolate was spot on (both times) and lastly was a toastie which was once again spot on! You’ve gotta try this place at least once. I know I’ll certainly be going there everytime I’m in Colac."

"The cafe, simply named as On the Lane has its charm with vintage interiors and sells tea sets that are like heirlooms. If the weather is fitting, best to dine al fresco. We had our breakfast here and loved the food! Very filling and the coffee was great as well. Staff were friendly and had an overall great experience. Will definitely recommend this place in Colac!"
