Pleasant Hill Coffee Van is a casual coffee spot nestled in the gardens at 83 Flaxman St, Warrnambool. This little coffee van is a popular stop for both locals and visitors looking for a relaxed morning or early afternoon break, especially on sunny days when the outdoor seating fills up with people soaking up the open air and natural light.

The atmosphere here is informally welcoming, with background music softly setting a cheerful tone while families picnic nearby or dog walkers pause with their pets. It’s the kind of place that feels embedded in the local rhythm—part coffee run, part social hangout, part pause for a simple, satisfying bite.

Known for serving some of the better coffee options in Warrnambool, their offerings include the Wide Open Road Coffee blend, alongside a small but thoughtful selection of teas like English Breakfast and Earl Grey. The coffee quality draws regulars who appreciate a well-pulled cup without fuss. Complementing the drinks are toasties made on sourdough bread, with flavours such as tuna, mushroom, and bacon. These are a common choice, often enjoyed as a light, flavourful breakfast or quick lunch that pairs well with the casual outdoor vibe.

Visitors tend to come here for a quiet, sunlit moment outside rather than a formal sit-down. Given the location, it’s easy to combine a coffee stop with a stroll through the nearby gardens and a visit to local spots like the Fletcher Jones market. Dog owners will find it accommodating, making it a convenient place to include furry friends in the outing.

Best times to visit are during clear mornings and early afternoons when the outdoor seating can be fully enjoyed. On weekends, the spot has a lively yet laid-back energy as families and groups gather in the green space around the van. For anyone passing through Warrnambool or locals wanting a casual coffee experience with attentive service and a simple menu, Pleasant Hill Coffee Van offers a straightforward, pleasant spot grounded in its garden setting.

Great little spot for breakfast. Toasties are delicious and on the higher side but tasty. Coffee great as well. Sit outside and enjoy the sunshine and then visit the gardens and Fletcher Jones market for a quick squiz.

Food (Ham Toastie) was fantastic. Great atmosphere with music playing and families having picnics. Certainly helped by a beautiful Saturday. Well worth a stop if you are in Warrnambool.

What a find! Feels like a hipster Melbourne institution but by the coast (and without any of the pretention!). Cool tunes and staff, great laid back community vibe, amazing space with shady trees to lie under and kids running around having a ball. The coffee was by far the best we had anywhere in Warrnambool or Port Fairy (and we tried lots of cafes :) The toasties we're absolutely delicious- I had tuna melt, my partner had egg and bacon. Not sure what the magic is, maybe quality ingredients or the fresh parmesan grate? But they really were moreish. Will defo be back.

What a wonderful place to arrange to catch up with friends from afar, passing through town. Good food, excellent service, great location-easy to give directions, gardens to wander around, and the Mill Market for added interest. Gourmet toasties and good coffee were ideal for breakfast, with a windbreak of plants behind us. Sitting in the warmth of the sun chatting with friends made a perfect morning, lunchtime beckoned and so did the shade of a tree, along with the donuts and another round of toasty with the opportunity to try another flavour. Then the Mill Market entranced the guests with the massive quantity of wares. A fabulous day, highly recommended venue and food.
