“ Best road side stop that isn't fast food or petrol station food. Coffee was great and the team was lovely. We enjoyed the pork roast of the day - the accompanying chutney and vegetables were excellent, and the brisket in the pie was perfection. The deli and gourmet pantry goods section has a wonderful local selection. The bathrooms here were clean and well managed. Note: kitchen closes at 2.30. ”
“ What a wonderful stop in, great place to stop for breakfast. Food was fantastic, quick, reasonable priced. Clean, kid and dog friendly. Beautiful presented. Heaps of parking for big rigs. Highly recommended. ”
“ This was phenomenal! I had the best pastry ever! I had the raspberry and cream cruffin and if you like scones, you will love this. Great atmosphere, very welcoming! Love this place! ”
“ This place is "THE BUNNINGS" of the cafe world!!!!! Talk about a mega centre. Easy access heading North or South and accomadating all shapes and sizes. Exterior Pet friendly with an area to stretch 4 legs. Wheel chair accessible because everything is flat and upsized, big door ways, spacious seating and hell if you need height there's a 80 ft ceiling.(Approx.) There's artisan goodies, butcher, bakery, cafe, and bar also a self serve water station equipped with plastic picnic cups for the kiddies. Now all this fabulous offering is smartly spaced out so NO cues clash. The menu board is as a big as a outdoor cinema (drive -in), as the old schoolers know it by and what a menu. So nice to eat from quality crockery and cutlery too. My burger was deeelish, Wagyu meat, fresh salad, condiments mmmm. And chippies. A huge staff working their 9-5 off. Super clean everywhere including bathrooms. I had the honour of thanking the manager or owner I'm not sure but a fine looking gentleman on the floor actually caring and running the establishment. I thanked him for being here and saved me from eating trash you usually get when on the highway. He was lovely . I also grabbed some of the butchers goods, so I can't wait. ”
“ Great place. Coffee 10/10 (dined in) burgers were phenomenal!!! Chicken wings, yum. Worth every dollar. Licensed for a cheeky beeer with lunch. Pet friendly and you know what they have…?? Dog treats at the coffee area. ”
“ This place is always so busy, but the friendly staff work very quickly at clearing the tables to ensure a clean one is always available. The coffee is good, the food is tasty and portions are generous. On this occasion I had the Rueben Sandwich which was the best one I’ve ever eaten. ”
“ If you’re looking for somewhere to eat along the highway, let it be here. The food is very well made. The crispy pork noodles exceeded my expectations — amazing flavour while also being healthy. No notes, though more noodles would have been great. Highly recommend ”
“ Great place for a stop over. Ample parking for cars with or without caravan or trailers. Best pie & pastries in the region. Plenty of outdoor seatings & children's outdoor playground, there's also a small play area indoor. Heaps of seatings inside. Staffs are quick & responsive to customer's requests. Expect to wait a little in the queue during peak hrs. Overall excellent coffee & food. Toilet facilities are very clean & convenient. Almost missed the turn off twice because their signage was not visible enough while passing through at highway speed. The beef brisket pie was excellent but a bit salty on our second visit. All other pastries were excellent. We ended up purchasing a big take away box of pastries to take home on our way back to Sydney. ”
