Hot Shott

ONE OF THE VERY BEST BREAKFAST EVER! Coming from Melbourne which prides itself as the Cafe extraordinaire - GC has a secret up their sleeves. The food was amazing. Every bite was delicious and a feast for the taste senses. We loved everything. The coffees were also very good. Great service too. It was very busy for a Wednesday morning so can imagine this is a top drawcard in the area. If I lived around there I would be here all the time. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!

August 2025 Our Sunday brunch at Hot Shot Cafe was quite enjoyable. The atmosphere was lively, the service was friendly and attentive, and the food was fresh and delicious. However, we did encounter an issue with a side of avocado that we hadn’t ordered. We decided to keep it, but unfortunately it had a hard texture and was black inside, indicating it had passed its prime, so we had to have it removed from the bill. Despite this hiccup, I would highly recommend this cafe for a lovely experience at Main Beach.

Design Your Own Juice is such a charming spot! The brunch menu is not only delicious but also feels packed with fresh, healthy ingredients. I especially loved the açaí bowl—the portion was generous, and the flavors were balanced so well that I just couldn’t stop eating it! Their burger was also fantastic. The patty, bun, and sauce all came together perfectly. Plus, the extra avocado was fresh and served in a generous portion, which I really appreciated. Service was quick and friendly, and now I totally understand why this place is always buzzing with people. Would I go back? 100% yes.

Great spot with delicious food and coffee, but service let it down a little. I’m giving it 4 out of 5 stars. The food was fantastic once it came out correctly, and the coffee was excellent. However, the experience started off poorly due to the waiter rushing through our order without paying attention—he was looking away while taking it, which led to mistakes or it could have also been the kitchen that got it wrong. Thankfully, it got fixed quickly. The place is quite noisy too, so it’s hard to hear the person across from you. That said, once everything was sorted, it turned into a great experience overall.

Great food great atmosphere. Huge portions decent price. Only thing was it was advertised to shut at 4pm but they packing away tables and chairs slightly past 3pm.

I have had breakfast here twice both times great meals eggs Benedict with coffee on first trip pancakes and juice second meal all fresh and tasty.

We had lunch here. It was so busy but we were lucky enough to get a table inside. As we walked in, everyone's plate looked amazing. The service here is incredible. We were shown to our table and for glasses and water straight away. The menu is excellent, and there are great food options. Love that breakfast and lunch menu is all day! Even though the whole restaurant was busy, our coffee came out pretty quickly, and food also came out soon after. The kitchen is running like a machine. Well done to staff and kitchen team.

Very welcome and friendly service, nice little spot. Food is as you expect from this type of restaurant. Nicely done with good flavour and presentation. Fresh ingredients and many options. Would recommend! The carrot juice was a stand out !!

Excellent service from all the staff this morning even though they were very busy. Also very accommodating with our not on the menu orders. And when the food arrived it was delicious. Note that my wife and I had the best coffees we've had on the coast here! Highly recommend you give them a go for breakfast.

Great food, great coffee and atmosphere, you definitely pay for what you get though so we definitely couldn't afford to eat here every day. Amazing service too everyone was lovely

A must to eat and sit while you are drinking coffee hot shott on Tedder Ave has not just great food and coffee but amazing service with a smile

The newest place @ Main Beach. A great place for breakfast and lunch. We arrived at 1245 and didn't leave till 1600 and the place was still nearly full. Menu not extensive but the food quality is very good. Has a great outdoor area on the street. Alcohol is well priced.

Awesome food and an awesome location. My only drawback was that our order came out wrong and we were charged for something different to what we had asked for. Prices are reasonable for what you get and the coffee is good. The place always seems to be busy. I would go back but be sure to double check on the bill.
