The best Cannoli, EVER! Absolutely divine!! Theres so much to this Store, the women serving are so friendly, the Coffee, excellent, hubby bought me the Apple Pie for takeout/later, as he said it looked amazing, well it tasted amazing too!! They also have a Deli kind of section, so will be popping in before we leave to stock up on some items from that section, but definitely to have another Cannoli! If you have to do one thing in your lifetime, head in and have a divine Cannoli-you will not be disappointed!!

Great cafe find in Maldon. Very nive Mocha and Latte coffees followed by the Ham & pickle baguette which was delicious. They have shaded outdoor out back and a great selection of food in front. I'll be back!

We stopped in Maldon, having not been there for some time and discovered The Good Food Providers. The service was warm, friendly and professional, which was matched by a lovely calm ambience. A perfect environment to enjoy thoughtfully curated classic deli style food and many other delicious home baked and prepared goods. I highly recommend Granddad's Apple Pie. A beautiful buttery shortcrust, enveloping delicious unsweetened and gently cooked apples, all coming together with a light sprinkle of sugar. Oh, and served with cream, of course! My ham, cheese and pickle baguette was very tasty and definitely hit the spot. Also, if you're after a great selection of cheeses and complementary items, including take home meal options, look no further. Thank you, we'll come again. Perfect

We made a slip up with meal ordering. The staff were accommodating, polite, and professional in sorting it out. The food was wonderful to boot. It is a great cafe to eat, greet, and be hearty. ????????

What a find on a soft rainy day. Just took the steam train from Castlemaine. This is a lovely place to have a coffee or lunch before the return journey.
