Love this cafe and the retro look. Ladies in there are lovely. Coffee is really good. Always drop in here when heading to Phillip Island.

Look, PLD (as I now know it as) possibly saved my life. Day after New Year's Day, heading East, absolutely fanging for some proper fried dimmies and a choc milk (a meal that cures almost anything). And the PLD delivered with a smile. Perfectly fried Marathon dimmies and a Choc Oak on the river bank... inside the venue is like a dive bar meets Al's Diner (Happy Days for you young people) - which is a ridiculously good thing. If Happy Days was to do the gritty reboot, this is what it would look like and it would be amazing. 6 stars out of 5 if I could.
