Great people. We left a package behind by mistake. We went back a few days later and they had the package. They kept it expecting us to return for it. Another thing is they have good coffee. What more could you ask for. Very pleaded. Jim

This place is fantastic! The food and coffee were both delicious, and came out really quickly. They have gluten free bread and chips, so you have a wide range of choices. They also have a cute little gift shop. Love this place, will definitely be coming back!

We got stranded in Barcaldine recently with floods, so got to dine at this cafe. The food, coffee, staff were all good and it has a pleasant atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating. It was interesting watching the silver perch migrating up the flooded gutters and it’s only a 10minute walk up and down the Main Street taking in the many interesting historical sights and information plates.
