The Somers General is a delightful café and store located along the beautiful Western Port shore, with a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere that feels a little like stepping back to a simpler time. In 2019 Owners Zoe Proctor and Dean Atkins transformed this historic venue into a community hub, blending the best of tradition with modern comfort.
The café exudes charm, with vintage décor, lush indoor plants and cosy seating, perfect for any season. Enjoy the glorious summer sunshine on the wide wooden deck, or snuggle by the open fire inside when the weather gets cooler.
With the nearby leash-free beach, it's an ideal place for dog owners to grab a take-away coffee and a bite for a seaside stroll, or sit outside and relax with your pooch afterwards. Families are equally well-catered for, with a laid-back atmosphere and proximity to Coolart Homestead and the beach making for a fantastic day out with the kids.
The menu at The Somers General features fresh, seasonal ingredients, with standout dishes like the chilli scrambled eggs and the falafel bowl. The restaurant is fully licensed and serves drinks sourced from local breweries and vineyards. Coffee enthusiasts will appreciate the Industry Beans coffee, or choose from the range of healthy juices. The children, or anyone with a sweet tooth, will love the Mubble ice cream in many delicious flavours, or a classic-style milkshake or spider.
Beyond the café, the store is filled with artisan goods, including handmade pottery, homewares, and organic skincare. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing meal, a shopping experience, or a day by the beach, The Somers General can cater to just what you need.
