The best place for a weekend morning coffee and pie. All of their food is fantastic and the coffees are spot on every time we go. The great service we get from Courtney and Dylan makes it a no brainer to keep coming back week after week. What a lovely spot to unwind, relax and take your dogs for a play

First impressions, plenty of space especially for parking, good area to bring your dog (or children) to run around. My partner and I ordered 2 oat mochas and a sausage roll. Received the sausage roll first. It was delicious. Good amount of filling, flaky buttery pastry. The coffee we waited at least 10-15 minutes only for it to be too hot. Even 2 other customers who ordered after us received their coffee before us which was annoying. I personally didn’t like the coffee taste (they use 88 degree brand) and both my partner and I could barely taste the chocolate. If it wasn’t for the food and atmosphere I might’ve given 2 stars. But nice pitt stop area overall.

The best coffee and pies in the Vineyards and surrounds. Being a local I drop in here on a weekly basis. Plenty of parking and always great service. The Full Throttle brisket pies are always a winner and the coffee is great. An open fire going throughout the cooler months just adds to the atmosphere. Keep in mind there is usually only 1 staff member on, if you have to wait a few minutes for your food or coffee, just relax and take in the surrounding environment.

Rusty Jack's is a little gem along Wine Country Drive. Amazing Staff with friendly greetings. This coffee hub, you meet of so many people in locals, and those who are passing by or just spending the weekend in the Hunter Valley. The brisket pies, Sausage Rolls simply the Best! Try Tebor’s Weekends: Egg, Bacon and Cheese rolls are delicious, whatever desire's the palette, and to complement it all, grab a coffee with a Funky Monkey Cookie made Locally so many delicious flavours to die for! Corey the owner, genuinely cares about his business and customers, making this place truly special. We are regulars and love the views. Highly recommend it!

What a nice find on our exploration around the Hunter Valley wine country. Pulled in and tried the brisket & curry, brisket & cheese and the brisket and gravy pies. The pies were fantastic, all with lovely flavour and thoroughly enjoyed. Service was friendly but the location is what really topped off this experience. On the day we stopped it was a great place to watch a storm roll in.
