My favourite cafe to stop at when commuting from the central west. I always plan my journeys so I can either stop here for breakfast or lunch and look forward to their delicious coffee! The service is great, the B&E rolls are amazing value, made with quality ingredients. Pies and cakes are really great too. Definitely the top pick to go in the area!
