All the baked goods look amazing, so hard to choose. We came for breakfast with a dish view, had eggs on toast. No picture because I ate them down before i thought of it. Gluten free bread options. Good coffee. Well worth going into this cafe while visiting the dish.

We decided to have breakfast at the cafe to extend our visit to the Dish and get more views of the Dish. So glad we did. Super nice, friendly and fast service. They even made a special small yoghurt and fruit for me. My son got the pancakes and they were delicious. We are pancake aficionados so that says a lot. Great tea.

Didn't actually go to the cafe but did fo for a gander at the Dish which was brilliant. The large array of hands of activities, lectures and the main event itself were all well worth the visit!

Visited this place during our road trip from Queensland. Decided to have a cuppa. It wasn't many choices at the time, but their scones and jam caught our eyes. The coffee was perfect, the scones were warm fluffy and light, the jam was REALLY nice!! And YES, they use real whipped cream!! Not the cream out of a can. Really enjoyed our time here. Plenty of seating area inside or outside. The staff were friendly and welcoming, the price was a bit stiff but its worth with the view of the dish. Overall was very nice. Highly recommend this place
