The food here is amazing! Highly recommend the corn and zucchini fritters. Service was friendly and quick plus there’s plenty of space inside and out for groups and kids. Can’t wait to come back again.

Social Foundry in Kyneton is literally a whole vibe! Let’s talk about the smashed avo toast. It’s next level. Period. The avo is so fluffy (like, how do they even do that??), and it’s BFFs with the goat’s cheese—seriously, they’re a dream team. The pesto drizzle just ties it all together. The lattes? SO velvety and smooth. You could drink them all day. The vibe here is super chill and welcoming—perfect for a catch-up or solo coffee run. Plus, the staff are actual legends - so friendly, just genuinely nice humans. What really makes Social Foundry special is what they stand for. They’re all about giving back and making a difference, and honestly, it just restores your faith in humanity. Massive respect to these superstars for everything they do. If you haven’t checked this place out yet, what are you even doing?? Go, go, go!

Came up from Melbourne for the day and stopped in for some brunch. I must say I have NEVER in my life had sourdough bread as soft as this. It was so fresh I’m amazed! I tried their pumpkin smash dish, it was absolutely delicious. Coffee was smooth and strong. Great choice of seating outdoor, in the front of the cafe or in the back with some comfy couches and lower lighting. Great atmosphere and lovely attentive staff. Love that they highlight inclusion and diversity and donate to charity! It’s a must try!

Excellent coffee and atmosphere. Spacious area for relaxing with an artificial grass outdoor space. Work space and toilets out back extend the offerings.

I really enjoyed the avocado toast with goat cheese. Although it came as a single slice, the bread was thick, making it surprisingly filling. The creamy avocado paired perfectly with the tangy goat cheese, creating a delicious and satisfying dish.

Great vibes. Had the SOHO burger, halloumi burger and fries which were delicious. Coffee tasted great and the artificial grassed area was perfect for the baby to have a crawl around.
