Tick Tok is a nice unpretentious cafe with nice character and its own semi-old-school charm.

Tick Tok Cafe appears to be a family run business and I liked this aspect of Tick Tok. It was nice seeing the kids helping out behind the counter. It was also great chatting to the owners and the immaculate placement of all the cakes.

Tick Tok Cafe is busy and I always find this a good sign in the suburbs as repeat business always bodes well for the more casual diner. Of course being busy also adds to the cafes positive vibe, also a plus if you've nabbed yourself a seat. Tick Tok is a pretty small and narrow cafe so getting a table may be a challenge but still worth the wait.

Tick Tok isn't what I call hipster but you can tell they have made an effort to give the place some character. There is a definite charm to Tick Tok.

The food at Tick Tok is contemporary modern so you don't get any really surprises selection wise. Howver we can definitely vouch for the food tasting great as well as their attention to detail in the presentation. The food really does stand out on the plate and is ro be commended as it definitely adds to the dining experience.

You can definitely say that Tick Tok is a cosy cafe. It does extend out the back but overall doesn't have that many seats. The narrowness does add it Tick Toks charm but it can definitely be a bit of a squeeze walking in and out if they are particularly busy. I'd still rather be in a busy cafe any day of the week though. It's all part of the dining experience although if you have a big group or kids Tick Tok may be a bit of a challenge.


In a nutshell
Tick Tok may not appear to be the most trendy cafe going around. However a charming environment, a busy atmosphere giving the place a positive vibe, a family atmosphere and great food quality and customer service make Tick Tok an easy cafe to recommend.

Location
Tick Tok Cafe is located at 181 Nelson Place in Williamstown. This is easy to find on the main dining street in the Gem Pier waterfront area of Williamstown.

Sebastian
Sebastian is a Basque inspired restaurant offering a wide range of pintxos, small and larger plate dishes aiming for a generally higher end customer. It's great that such a unique and different type of restaurant is willing to open up in Williamstown. Maybe I'm not the target audience but it seems a bit too expensive for the quality. Still we recommend trying at least once if you live locally and if you live further afield read plenty of reviews and decide for yourself if you think it's your cup of tea.

The Strand
The Strand is a nice attractive looking restaurant offering a finedining experience. It has a particular emphasis on seafood fitting for the Williamstown location. I would say the Strand offers an outstanding menu to select from. The Strand is a pretty restaurant and the food is generally good but does vary in consistency. For most up to date recommendations I suggest checking as many recent reviews as possible and then deciding if The Strand is for you.

Monzarella Italian Restaurant
Monzarella Italian Restaurant is one of longer lasting restaurants in Williamstown. This is a testament to Monzarella Italian Restaurant delivering on their promise of good honest food and a providing a nice dining experience. While Monzarella Italian Restaurant isn't really special in any particular way I think it's value proposition has helped it stand the test of time. Great for locals, regular visitors to Willaimstown and value hunters. If you are looking for a very special experience then Monzarella Italian Restaurant may not be for you but for others it may be a perfect match.

Yamabuki
Yamabuki is probably best for Williamstown locals who love Japanese cuisine and are desperate for their Japanese fix. For others Yamabuki may be a hard sell unless you are into old school 1980's vibes.

Capiz Bistro
Capiz Bistro is probably best for the inquisitive diner who has never tried Filipino food before and cake and dessert lovers. For others just check the menu and see if it takes your fancy. Capiz Bistro is a nice attractive small bistro and it's definitely quite pleasant sitting in the front looking out onto the Williamstown High Street.
