Great healthy options at Cafe La Vie in the heart of Bordertown. We opted for a GF wrap, burger and toasted sandwiches. All excellent. Coffee was great and Almond Milk no problems either. Service was excellent. Highly recommended.

Lovely cafe' to stop in Bordertown located across Tolmer Park and next to Foodland! A nice variety of sweets and savoury items with your drinks. Toilet is very clean and has also a baby change table: coffee tastes good and there's a small gift section as you enter the cafe'. Walk across the Park and go for a stroll with your coffee/cold drink.
