Popular for breakfast
There is a wide variety of options on both the breakfast and lunch menus and produce is mainly sourced locally, such as the free range eggs from the Hawkesbury and bacon out of Trunky Creek in Orange. They even grow a majority of vegetables and herbs from their own garden.
The coffee is well regarded and comes from Cassiopeia, located further up the Blue Mountains in Katoomba.
Kids activities

At other times a wander through the small public gallery is also popular with kids, available at each and every visit.
