General Store
The Upper Beaconsfield General Store has been part of local life since 1885. Today, this family-run business offers visitors a taste of the Hills through its café, in-house baking, gifts, pantry provisions and country-store character.
Take a look at Chug, the orange vintage tractor, and discover a connection to the orchards and rural properties that shaped Upper Beaconsfield. Browse the shop, stop for coffee and something baked on site, or settle in for breakfast or lunch.
The Barnyard continues the store’s practical country tradition, supplying local gardens, animals and homes. Keep an eye out for Bugs, the resident cat, whose name recalls a chapter in the store’s history.
Make the General Store a stop on your drive into or out of the Eastern Dandenong Ranges, alongside a day visiting Puffing Billy or exploring nearby villages. It is a working local store where visitors can experience everyday life in the Hills.
Opening hours:
