Ben's Cafe

Not much choice in Lawson for brunch on but lucky came across a nice little cafe. Burger portions were decent. Both pulled pork and beef burger. Chips could have been cooked more. The place looks bigger from the outside than inside. Has a nice wrap around verandah and has aircon. Perfect for cooking down after a hike in the mountains.

Lovely cafe in Lawson. Wholesome home made food and friendly service

Very accommodating staff, here you eat with your eyes and tastebuds. Really wonderful. I asked for a coffee milkshake, even though that wasn't on the menu options but they were more than happy to supply. Also coming over to check it was ok and if it was too much coffee flavour or not enough. It was lovely.

Food & service were great. Coffee tasted nice. Unfortunately a tradie was sanding the building & there were no tables inside. Both us & our food were covered in dust. It was really not appropriate or customer friendly to have renovations done during my meal

A community cafe with great customer service. The food is decently priced but can take a while to come out, so try elsewhere if you’re in a rush. This is definitely the best cafe in Lawson though, I must say. The sourdough and ricotta and yummy. Nothing special but a good staple. The smoked trout and hash brown was delicious. The basil sauce and egg on the top really added to the flavour. The steak sandwich was a bit hard to eat. I wouldn’t get that again as the steak was tough to chew. Flavour wise, it was good. The pasta had a good flavour and I really liked the olives that were tossed in. It was pretty filling so I would recommend sharing this with someone if you’re a small eater. The iced chocolate was very sweet but a nice treat. There was a scoop of ice cream and a generous amount of whipping cream. The cappuccino was regular but I am not a coffee connoisseur so I wouldn’t be able to give you a good review. The chai latte was very disappointing. The milk overpowered the chai, I tasted milk all the way with occasional hints of cinnamon. Overall, I would return to try the extensive food options as well as support the community cafe.
