The Salty Sparrow Cafe

Hidden down a quiet Ballarat laneway, the Salty Sparrow Cafe invites visitors to step off the business of Lydiard Street North, and into a serene, tucked away courtyard. It is a destination that feels like a discovery, perfect for those drawn to urban exploration and the charm of finding something unexpected.

At the heart of the menu are the cafe's signature hot chocolates, made with real melted chocolate, for a rich and indulgent experience. The coffee menu features Dukes Organic Coffee and milk from our local award-winning Inglenook Dairy.

Dog-friendly and welcoming, the Salty Sparrow Cafe is more than just a place to eat. It's a hidden retreat in Ballarat.
