Why it's worth checking out
Simply D’Vine Cafe is a breakfast and lunch stop in Pokolbin, serving an all-day breakfast menu alongside sweet food, savoury dishes and hot, cold and iced drinks. The cafe says its menu changes over time and makes use of fresh local and seasonal produce, matched with coffee from a local bean supplier. That gives it a clear focus on familiar cafe fare with a few more distinctive touches, rather than a narrowly defined style of cooking.
The breakfast menu includes substantial choices such as the Big Breakfast, with bacon, eggs, a house-made potato pancake, roast tomato, mushrooms and chorizo, as well as lighter options including Warm Chia Oats with berries, coconut yoghurt and a nut mix. Other named dishes include Lemon Pancakes, Eggs Benedict, the Breakfast Taco and a Bacon and Egg Roll made with a house-made roll. The cafe also caters for different dietary preferences, with vegetarian, gluten-free and vegan options noted on the menu, and further gluten-free or vegan adjustments available on request.
For lunch, the offering includes Sweet Potato Curry with house-made flat bread, a mince and chorizo Chilli, Gochujang Chicken Burger and Soup of the Day with house-made bread. The menu identifies several dishes as gluten-free or adaptable, though guests with specific requirements should confirm details with staff. There is also a selection of sweet food for an afternoon treat, alongside the cafe’s drinks menu. The website’s emphasis on food made in-house extends to items such as the bread, flat bread, crumpets and sauces used across the menu.
The setting is designed for a relaxed stop rather than a quick takeaway alone. On sunny days, guests can use the outdoor area with a coffee, cold drink or treat, and the cafe invites visitors to spend time exploring the adjoining nursery while they are there. Simply D’Vine has been operating under Suzi’s ownership since 2019, with the business describing its approach as centred on quality service and an evolving menu. With breakfast served throughout the day, lunch options and space to linger outdoors, it suits visitors exploring the Pokolbin area, as well as locals looking for a casual cafe meal or coffee. The venue has a 4.4 Google rating from 624 reviews.
