Beautiful rustic cafe with great coffee and homemade cakes. We stopped here passing through and were very glad we did. There are so many yummy things to choose from. Also, clean toilets nearby. Highly recommended. We will be back. Sit inside or outside. They even have dog treats. There is plenty of parking with space for a caravan to park and turn around.

We stopped in for coffee, toastie and treats on a road trip between Mudgee & Sydney. A really cute spot with beautiful produce. We sat on the balcony in the sun. Lots of outdoor seating available as well as indoor by the fire. We had the signature toastie + ham which was delicious. As well as coffees, a slice of lemon cake and a burnt butter and cinnamon choc chip cookie. Everything was tasty and appropriately priced. Only issue was our coffees came out long after we had finished our food. Would stop in again.

We had been camping in Hartley for 5 days and when leaving we thought we would head into Lithgow to grab a coffee. Looked on maps and realised this place was only 7 minutes up the road Just sat on the bench out front and chilled with our tea,coffee and Fruit n nut toast.
