I have strict dietary requirements, and they handled everything perfectly without a hitch. Thank you! It's a beautiful spot with fabulous coffee and the perfect milkshake. The food is wonderful, and the restrooms are clean. They have an excellent Covid protocol in place. Everything is well organized, making it such a relaxing place to be. I just wish I lived nearby so I could visit all the time!

I ordered the breakfast bruschetta, which was a slice of chewy sourdough topped with avocado, soft garlic sautéed cherry tomatoes, bacon, and a soft poached egg. The dish also came with dots of delicious caramelized balsamic vinegar on the side - yum! The portion was just right, especially after indulging in many hearty country meals. The coffee was good, although I would have preferred it slightly stronger, but it had a lot more body than others I have tried in the area. My companion enjoyed light, fluffy pancakes with ice cream and grilled banana. The only downside was that the caramel on the pancakes had hardened and become more like toffee. We also grabbed a white chocolate macadamia cookie to enjoy on our trip to Goulburn, and it was delicious. I am glad that I live far away from Parkes, or else I might find myself indulging too often. Despite the restaurant being quite busy when we arrived, with a table of 6 already ordering and another 8 people arriving shortly after, the service was efficient and reasonably quick. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant.
