The food was incredible, starting with the shoe-string fries served with rosemary and aioli, followed by a delicate calamari entrée, and the scallop ravioli paired with crisp leeks and pumpkin salad. The ice cream was absolutely divine, featuring flavors like burnt caramel and fig, as well as rocky road. The decor was unique and captivating, right in the heart of Sofala. Definitely worth the drive!

This cafe is fantastic! The food and coffee are superb. Honestly, it's the best coffee we've had in ages, made from locally sourced, incredibly fresh beans.

Pastries cooked on site each morning (I asked Vanilla slice (with passion fruit icing, I had! But the lemon curd tart looked delicious, and the fat scones would have been equally as good! The coffee was so good! I learned it was Bills Beans blend, The Godfather, I think. We also had bacon and eggs!! Don’t drive through Sofala without a quick drive up the quaint street. They had eftpos, and phone service, which was great after no service through the hills! Youll�it
