Why That's Amore Cheese wins locally
Consistently high ratings (4.5★) backed by 604 reviews signal repeat demand. Likely the benchmark incumbent new entrants are measured against.
Lesson for new entrants: Compete on a tighter daypart (early breakfast or late specialty coffee) rather than matching their full menu breadth.
Rank #1 among cafés within ~800m of Thomastown centre (Google Places cache, June 2026).
