Over the Road Emerald is our established Emerald eatery and coffee house, serving barista-made coffee, breakfast and lunch seven days a week. There is plenty of space for families, friends and groups, including larger tables when you need them.

We're close to the junior footy oval and easy to reach from Belgrave-Gembrook Road, with plenty of parking opposite. It's a handy breakfast stop before sport, coffee after a game, a relaxed lunch, or a place to stop before heading further into the Dandenong Ranges.

Coffee matters

Proper coffee, made properly.

Coffee is a big part of what we do. Our trained baristas serve General Road Coffee — a bold, traditional-style blend that works beautifully with milk and stays rich and syrupy served black. It is carefully roasted in Melbourne using 100% Arabica beans sourced from single estates and small farmer communities.

  • Trained baristas focused on consistency in every cup
  • 100% Arabica coffee, carefully roasted in Melbourne
  • Bold, low-acidity blend with plenty of body
