Bellas

Café is great! Located in Parkes’ CBD - easy to locate ;) I love their patio where you can enjoy the fresh air and sunlight while sipping coffee in the morning.

Omg. What an incredible find tucked away in the regional heartland of NSW. Bella’s Cafe puts many of its big-city counterparts to absolute shame. The venue itself is warm, inviting, and delightfully quirky. Don’t be fooled by the Italian signage on the shingle outside — once inside, it’s more funky tiki bar meets millennial French café, and it works beautifully. The staff? Super friendly, welcoming, and genuinely accommodating. I ate here twice, and both visits were outstanding. Now, the drinks — flawless. The cappuccino was perfection, with an almost honey-like sweetness (and no sugar added), truly divine. The large iced latte was as big as my head in the best possible way, and the banana smoothie was sweet, smooth, and spot-on for consistency. The food, though — wow. The salmon bagel was a genuine work of art. Not just salmon slapped on a bagel, but layers of flavour: fresh rocket, Spanish onion, chive cream cheese, and a surprising but perfect berry jam. Every bite balanced beautifully. And then there’s the waffle benny… out of this world. A house-made waffle topped with double-smoked ham, melted cheddar, maple bacon, a crispy hash brown, and two perfectly soft poached eggs, all smothered in rich hollandaise sauce. Absolute showstopper. If you’re in Parkes, it’s not The Dish you should make sure you visit. It’s every dish that hits the table at Bella’s. This place isn’t just worth visiting; it’s a must-experience.

Big City Quality, Small Town Soul !! If you haven’t been to this café yet, you’re missing out on something truly special. This family-run Italian café isn’t just the best in town – it genuinely rivals the finest establishments in Sydney. The coffee is hands down the best around. Full stop. And the food? Absolutely exceptional. Every dish showcases fresh ingredients, authentic flavors, and that rare attention to detail that elevates a meal from good to unforgettable. The ambience strikes the perfect balance between sophisticated and warmly inviting. What truly sets this place apart is the heart behind it. Owners Matt and Tara have created more than just a café – they’ve built a community hub where everyone is treated like family. Their personal touch in the service makes every visit feel special, and the staff share this warmth with genuine friendliness and ever-present smiles. This is the café you’ll recommend to everyone and keep coming back to. Regional Australia at its absolute finest.

Bellas is always the place I trust in getting my daily shot of coffee, the staff are always polite and energetic and their food always stands out with their bold colours and taste. Highly recommend stopping by and supporting them if you’re after coffee, food or a beer or wine as they’re also licensed.

literally my go- to. I always get my coffee here and I love it! the staff are the sweetest. food is amazing!! I would personally recommend the Benny breakfast burger, fried chicken burger, sweet potato fries, the pumpkin salad, Asian brekky bowl… honestly everything at this point.
