Jackson Dodds has been a long-time staple in Preston and an all time favourite off mine - I’ve been coming here for years. The menu has something for everyone, the coffee and service are always on point and the food is delicious! If you can, keep an eye out for their pop-up dinner service! Highly recommend.

It's the best cafe in the area. AndyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My favourite cafe in Preston. Their jerk chicken roll hits the spot every time, and their chai latte is the best in Melbourne, so creamy, it's like a hug on the inside. Always heaps of staff on, and the takeaway queue moves quickly. Tony AbousattoutTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
