My friend and I just had the pleasure of visiting 9Grams, the new coffee shop in Lara, and I couldn't be happier with my experience! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a delicious pick-me-up. I ordered a coffee and the Bannana Bread French Toast, and both were absolutely amazing! The coffee was rich and flavorful, and the Banana Bread French Toast was a delightful twist on a classic—sweet, fluffy, and simply irresistible. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring we felt welcomed from the moment we walked in. It’s clear that they put a lot of thought and care into their menu and service. I highly recommend stopping by 9Grams for a great coffee and a tasty bite to eat. I can’t wait to return and try more from their menu! Welcome to the neighborhood, 9Grams!

Came here for Brekky on a Sunday morning. Was pretty busy. Staff were very attentive. Got us to a tailor-made table quite quickly and took our order as soon as we were ready. Food came out quick and it was a solid meal. Cuppa was great too.

I recently discovered this cafe 9grams and it's become my go-to spot for breakfast, lunch, and everything in between! The moment I walk in, I'm greeted with a warm smile and a cozy atmosphere that makes me feel right at home. I travelled all the way from Melbourne to Lara specially for breakfast by just looking at their wonderful tempting menu. The food is absolutely delicious - from their coffee to their creative dishes, every bite is a flavor explosion! My favorite dish is the smashed avocado and a banana bread, it's a game-changer. The presentation is beautiful, and the portion sizes are generous. The service is top-notch - friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable staff who make great recommendations. They're passionate about their craft, and it shows in every aspect of the cafe. If you're looking for a spot with a long drive. Must go place.

After a refreshing 10K walk at the You Yangs, we stopped by the newly opened 9Grams Lara for a well-earned tea and soup break—and it did not disappoint! The soup of the day was absolutely delicious, served with a few slices of fresh bread, and just what we needed to warm up. The service was professional and friendly, and the interiors had a modern, inviting feel. They also have function areas upstairs, which is a great addition. The menu looks impressive, so next time, we’ll definitely be back to try out the lunch options. If you're in the area, highly recommend stopping by!

I am so happy this place exists. I have been here a few times and it's been such a great experience. First day they opened I grabbed a coffee and to be honest it wasn't the best but I figured  it was probably first day jitters. Since then the coffees have been great . The food...ohhh my!! Just delicious! Full of flavour, fresh, hot, appealing! I can tell the Chef takes pride in their work. I have family who live close by and my goal is to try everything on the menu . The southern fried chicken burger 12/10 so far my favorite! The 9grams burger 9/10 Zucchini & Corn Fritters 10/10 Mediterranean Lamb Wrap 8/10 Crispy Chicken Stack 10/10 Great selection of patisseries including muffins and donuts! Fantastic job with their staff - their energy & vibes when you walk in is welcoming, warm, familiar, feels like community. A couple weeks ago I ordered food to go and it was packed with care and very generous with their condiments . Having been to 9grams on Pako and now here, it's pretty amazing the consistency across the two cafes! Plus I just love their motto - thankful & blessed .
