Popped in this afternoon for a proper country style thickshake… had a delicious Vanilla and Espresso shake that was just perfect. So thick that the straw failed to do it’s one job!!! Will definitely be back!

Just discovered this absolute gem. It is a training cafe, helping young people work towards working in hospitality. Because of this, prices are VERY reasonable. Seriously the best omelette I’ve ever had ($9.50!) and the biggest coffee ever ($4). My friend had the big breakfast for $10, and it certainly lived up to its name. This will become our new “go to” breakfast place. It’s only open to 3pm, but it opens at 7am.

I've lived in dubbo for four years and have only just discovered this place. The breakfasts are amazing and very well priced. The only downfall is there is no nice outdoor seating, but the food and service is great.
