Balwyn takes its cafe culture seriously. If you find that Balwyn is a central meeting spot for a catch up, we recommend trying out a brunch at Snow Pony at 95 Whitehorse Road, Balwyn. There are several dining spaces, including a covered courtyard – a nice, well-lit spot for a long chat. If you like these photos of the corn and zucchini fritters (with salmon, herb dressing, poached eggs) and fries, you are going to enjoy the taste of them even better – flavours of the fritters are interesting and unique. The service was attentive but be prepared to be patient if Snow Pony is packed.
On the outside, it is quite unassuming. On the inside, it’s an adorable cafe you wouldn’t expect to sit along the busy Whitehorse road. We had a great experience. Tasty food and nice environment. The coffee was nothing to write home about, but in the suburbs you can’t complain too much. I thought their menu had a nice array of attractive options. What we chose didn’t disappoint. I would go back and try something else. I can definitely recommend this place for a nice, fairly priced brunch in a relaxed setting.
I ordered the grilled salmon bowl which was delicious as well as colourful and beautiful. They have a warm, cozy, friendly environment and drinks and food are catered for both sides of the health spectrum leaving people with satisfying choices. Snow Pony is a great place for breakfast, brunch, lunch and afternoon tea!
I am new to the area and discover this cafe in my local . Interior and back yard is okay-ish. Varieties of menu ideas . I had a special vegetarian bowl which was very nourishing . Coffee is “all press” which was nice smooth and creamy . I would definately be back to try other meals and recommend this place .

Located on Whitehorse road (towards the corner of Burke) Snow Pony is in a prime location for the morning coffee drive-by. This was my second time this week getting almond lattes from here and I was very impressed! The coffee flavour was rich, sweet and strong.
Great cafe with friendly and accommodating staff. We are regulars here, and the staff do not chase us out even when we overstayed a little bit past their closing time. Appreciate the flexibility. Great coffee and ice chocolate. Will recommend.
I honestly love this place so much, the staff are super and the food is probably the reason why I keep coming back! I always order the Avocado Addiction Ricotta Pancakes alongside with some coffee and I couldn’t be happier. Very lovely place!
One of my favorite spots in the area for a coffee.Definitely don’t miss the cakes cabinet; Nutella bombolini, lemon slice, house made muffins more.The bright yellow door is as warm and inviting as the people who work here.

Headed to this local cafe for quick bite to eat. Lovely service, quick arrival, light and fresh dish. Nothing to fault. Enjoyed my experience immensely well done snow pony 5/5.
Good little cafe for the locals. Popped in as we had an appointment nearby and arrived early. Decided to have some brekkie. Average breakfast good coffee. Pleasant staff.
