1 Welcome, For over a decade Las Chicas has been an institution in Balaclava. Our mission is to provide delicious, wholesome breakfast and lunch, along with our ever- popular ST ALI Coffee. We source fresh, local and sustainable produce to provide you with our Multi Award Winning Food. Fresh products such as our eggs from Country Pride in Devon Meadows one of very few egg farms producing 100% of their own feed. Local suppliers, such as Felice s Place Gourmet Butchers in Elwood, who deal only with all natural, chemical and hormone free meat. Sustainable product choices, such as the raw, organic Panela Sugar we use. Not only is it better for you, being unrefined and retaining minerals, but sugar cane has a high turnover and the waste nothing process means the stalk remnants are used to fuel the fires that burn the sugar syrup to create the crystals. We are committed to giving back to the community and in 2014 launched Las Chicas Community Projects. Our work so far includes developing a Kitchen Garden at Elwood Secondary College and the Free Coffee for Ambos campaign in support of our hard working Paramedics. 2,500 caffeine hits on us (and counting!) We pride ourselves on our fast and friendly service, so when it s busy we regret that we can t offer menu alterations. Sorry, no split bills. $5
