What was previously the cafe Vegas and Rose, the venue shut its doors and after several weeks of renovations has opened with new owners, a new name and a new look. Oh, and did we mention a new menu?
Since opening on Thursday, March 16, Start Cafe has been slinging out coffees and their delicious waffles topped with ice cream and fruit. They also have a number of menu options catering to dietary requirements.
You can find them at 96 Humffray St, Ballarat, on Facebook or Instagram.
