A Williamstown local since the clock started ticking

Coffee, cake and a long lunch under the iron lace.

Tick Tok sits on Nelson Place, a short stroll from Gem Pier. We open at 7am every day - close at 5pm on weekdays, 8pm on Sundays, and stay open till 10pm on Saturday night with the full bar. Whether you're after a slow breakfast, a long lunch under the iron lace, or a glass of red after sundown - we're open.

The kitchen runs three menus a day. The patisserie counter runs all the way through. The laneway courtyard stays warm with overhead heaters when the weather turns. Bring the dog, bring the family, bring a book.
