PaintsVille Art Cafe

We ordered a large variety of dishes from Paintsville and were impressed with every single one of them. We tried a mix of breakfast favourites — the adult serving of pancakes with their beautiful berry compote on top was phenomenal. The pancakes were exactly what pancakes should be: soft, fluffy, and full of flavour. The kids’ serving of pancakes was also a great portion size and just as delicious. We also had the big breakfast, which was presented beautifully and incredibly generous for the price. The smashed avocado with bacon was another standout — the portion was excellent, with plenty of avocado spread across both slices of bread (not just one!), and it even came with a lemon wedge to squeeze over the top — such a nice touch. From their front window display, we couldn’t resist grabbing a few of their homemade cakes and treats. We tried the orange flourless cake, Malteser balls, and a homemade muffin — everything was absolutely lovely. We were eyeing off their passionfruit sponge, which looked divine, and we’ll definitely be trying that next time. The service was even lovelier than the food — warm, friendly, and attentive. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and the bathrooms were clean and easy to access. All in all, Paintsville is a fantastic spot that clearly takes pride in both their food and their service. We’ll definitely be back!

Attractive cafe with indoor, street or out the back seating. Breakfast, lunch or snack meal options including ‘Taste of Vietnam’ items. Enjoyed our lunch here. Take away coffee and cakes excellent! Friendly, helpful and organised service. Good value. Thank you!

This is no doubt one of the best cafes we have ever been to! Coffee and food were delicious - it's like a Homemade meal by mum. The atmosphere is simple and cosy, their cabinet has the most stunning range of food, and lovely gluten free options. Also the prices were super reasonable! We have been to HEAPS of cafes that preach quality, but are always disappointing and use marketing and aesthetics to charge ridiculous prices - BUT NOT THESE GUYS THEY ARE AMAZING! Exactly what you want in a Cafe

We love Paintsville and feel very lucky to have it as our local. I regularly go there and I'm always happy with the service , cleanliness, food and coffee. With the recent changes it works even better for sitting in. They have a lovely court yard area out the back where you can catch the suns rays on a nice day. They also have several tables out the front overlooking the water and where you'll usually find someone who's up for a chat if you feel like it or just take in the peacefulness of Paynesville Esplanade.

Great food and excellent service! Stopped in here recently and was surprised to find some great Vietnamese favourites on their menu! We ordered the Beef Pho and the Pork Bahn Mi and both were really delicious! After chatting to the owner it turns out there is a connection to Vietnam which is evident with how authentic these dishes tasted! After an amazing lunch and with full bellies, we could not walk past the treats in the window and after much deliberation (they seriously ALL looked amazing!) we chose the Chocolate Brownie and Apple Pie. Happy say that they did not disappoint either!! Would definitely recommend stopping in to this cafe for lunch / afternoon tea / just about any reason will do!

Awesome decor. Lovely vibe. Delightful courtyard. Competitive prices.

Paintsville on a Sunday morning was less congested than 3double8zero and I was happy with the result. The food was not trendy/fancy and that suited our group of 5. Staff were super friendly and helpful. The place itself was aesthetically pleasing with assorted artworks on the walls - all for sale to art lovers. Recommend this place
