Cafe Seventy Two is located just inside Mount Gambier Central. It has indoor and outdoor seating. Charmaine is the owner of this awesome Cafe and she makes all the cakes and sweet treats herself. The menu here is quite extensive. All items are available to dine in or take away. There is a massive selection of sandwiches, wraps and rolls. Ranging from chicken, lamb, ham, vegetarian, breakfast rolls and so many others. Included on the menu is a selection of hot foods like chips, chips and gravy, potato cakes, dimsims, chicko rolls - to name a few! I had a chicken, cheese, avocado and spinach wrap which was toasted and served quickly. It was hot and delicious. Cafe Seventy Two has a large range of hot and cold beverages. So many coffee options and iced drinks. I had an iced coffee, which was made with ice cream, milk and coffee and it was perfect! I would say it is one of the best iced coffees I have had in Mount Gambier!! The staff here are super friendly and efficient. The dining area and outdoor seating is clean and well maintained. Comfortable seating. Orders can be made in advance. You can also dine in or take away. A great Cafe in the heart of Mount Gambier to meet up with friends or to sit and have a bite to eat and a coffee. I had one of Charmaines home made Biscoffe Cheesecakes. It was amazing! I highly recommend Cafe Seventy Two. Pop in and see Charmaine and her team on your next shopping trip.

Coffee was perfect and the bacon and egg toastie we had was fresh and clean, not oily at all. Staff were friendly and to top it off they recycle their milk cartons as cup holders. 10/10! Thank you

Ordered a coffee & cake to go. Staff were attentive and my order was just as requested. I asked about the sign to do online orders and staff explained how it worked. Five star added as I see how an online order goes. Looking forward to the next tasty experience. Online order today was spot on. Will be back.
