5 stars all round! Book in advance to avoid disappointment. This is our go to place to take Sydney visitors when in berrima. We combine the local history walks and lunch here. I've had the salt & pepper squid a couple of times. Delicious. Friends have had the prawns or lamb kebabs which they loved. There is a very different romantic feel at night with great wine and I'd recommend the duck and apple upside tart. Service, quality and price slot on.

This is high end patisserie. The house made pastry simply melts in your mouth. The 7 tiered chocolate cake is incredible! Georgeous range of pastries, tarts and their savoury food choices are excellent. Including savoury house made pies & vego sausage rolls. Aromatic strong rich coffee. It's a little pricy and more expensive definitely than closest competitor GumNut - but the quality and standard justifies it.

We used to go here a bit but find the quality is no longer there for the food or coffee and the prices are over the top (even for Bowral). The menu sounds very impressive but the food is too pricy & disappointing.

I used to go here all the time when I first came to Bowral. I used to really enjoy the smoked salmon vegan brekkie and a great coffee. I used to get there around 7am and have great service from owner. I went a couple of times at lunch time and waited for over an hour for salad & coffee. Both were disappointing. Salad was drenched in oily tastless dressing and coffee tastes burnt. Not sure what issue is - if they haven't got enough staff both on floor and in the kitchen but there are many other smaller better quality and cheaper lunch options close by.

This is the patisserie hub where it all happens and gets distributed out to the various outlets. It's set in industrial setting. Staff welcoming & accommodating. Same range as sold in high streets - just a couple of $ cheaper. Good value if u r on a budget.

This place is packed with tourists most weekends. They seem to love the range of pies, sausage rolls & croissants. The pastries & cakes are very rich and very yummy. The caramel tart, coffee eclair, Easter hot cross buns are extra special. Pecan pie and date loaf are staple afternoon delights! Coffee average.

I've really enjoyed this local CAFE in Mittagong. It was a breath of fresh air when it first opened for bit of a culinary sleep town. The coffee is consistently good. Staff are attentative and welcoming. Accommodating and good attention to detail. I've had brekkie of goats cheese vege omelette which was a really generous serving. I've also had the beans with eggs which was delicious. Last time I had trout salad with Beetroot & goats cheese. I had aioli on the side which was good as I believe it was store bought and gluggy so u didn't put it in the salad. This place generally has a great buzz about it and recommend the brekkie.

The food here has s good range of quick bites, wraps, sandwiches & salads. The cakes delivered are fresh and yummy. The coffee is consistently good. The staff overall friendly & welcoming. For all these reasons I'd love to go regularly but I don't as myself and my friends find the prices over the top and not worth the quantity. For example ham & cheese croissant at $9.50. Soup for $23....I mean it's soup!!. Take away lunch Salad $17.50. There are at least two other really good lunch options in moss vale where the quality is same, quantity is bigger, generally organic and locally sourced and much cheaper.

This is my new go to for morning coffee. The staff are welcoming, accommodating and make delicious hot coffee. The menu has a bit of a spin on typical CAFE choices with use of international spices. I've had lunch here a couple of times with the spiced vegetable stack, goats cheese and 2 organic poached eggs. Delicious each time. They try and source everything I organically and / or locally and you can tell. Their prices are really reasonable and they should stay this way as they will get the business that other moss vale cafes are starting to push away with overpriced average food. Keep up the great work vale cafe - locals love this place.

This is a quaint little sweet CAFE. There is a small but good quality selection of quick bites like wraps, frattata with salad. Range of GF cakes. Coffee is ok depending on who is making it. I've stopped going in mornings on way to work as find barista mood challenging first thing in the morning and not very welcoming. Not a pleasant way to start the day. When I used to go here for lunch had overheard the chef/ cook being quite unpleasant to staff and customers. It's a small kitchen so everything can be heard in the dining / eating areas. I did used to enjoy the breakfast made here but have found other local places where you get better food, cheaper without overhearing uncomfortable conversations from the kitchen. A Shame to give this review as I know the owner has worked really hard to rebuild this CAFE. Some changes would see many people like myself returning as we'd like to support owner as a local.
