My favorite in Albury! Great seasonal menu using local produce and inspired specials. Always busy, recommend booking a table! Cool funky staff, great vibe, some of the best coffee in Albury. Reasonable price too! Can't go past this place, haven't had a bad meal.
Very quick service even though it was busy. Food came out quickly as did the coffee which was amazing. The big breakfast was also amazing highly recommend this place great first time experience.
Great coffee, staff were very friendly and the food was a good portion. Ordered poached eggs on toast with haloumi and smoked salmon. Great way to start the morning.
Best coffee I ever had in Albury. My partner and I ordered the French toast and filled mushrooms. The portions were so generous. I absolutely loved my French toast as it was so refreshing and delicious. The mushroom dish was also tasty with a variety of grilled mushrooms. Good vibe and polite staff. Will definitely come back and recommend it 100 percent.
Excellent food and friendly approachable service. The staff, in particular the waitstaff, are I find friendly and hospitable and were able to cater for small modifications for dietary needs. The tea was nice, the steak sandwich was delicious and filling, and the bacon and egg full breakfast was generously portioned and made up of good quality ingredients. Basically, we had a good breakfast here and would recommend this place to anyone wanting a quality cafe to enjoy Sunday morning with food and friends, or even by oneself! I had a friendly conversation with one of the waitstaff who was from Sydney’s north shore originally, and I was impressed by his enthusiasm for the food, the town of Albury, and the establishment where he works. It appears even the staff are generous in spirit, as the food and drink is delicious and would stand up with the best of a capital city. A nice find - Recommended.
Great coffee and friendly service. We had the taco and mushroom and garlic butter. Chai lattes. Outdid seating. Nice tucked away brunch in Albury.
Stopped in Albury for a quick breakfast recently. Found this nice cafe only 5 minutes from the highway, friendly staff and a great menu. Garlic mushrooms were superb!
I can’t believe I have only just discovered this cafe for my road trips between Sydney and Melbourne. Delicious coffee (Padre beans), friendly service, great menu and a light and airy fit out! We ordered the orrechiette with smoked trout, pesto, capers, cauliflower purée and lemon and it was delicious. Not pretentious but packed with flavour. My son ordered the French toast. It tasted great but for a 14 year old growing boy, we did not feel one piece of toast was a complete serving. We will come back to try more goodies off the menu!
We stopped over in albury from Melbourne this long weekend. We were pleasantly surprised with how good the espressos were. The service was genuine and the staff were all really lovely. Top it off with really yummy food, my 5 yo and husband were all well fed and ready to hit the road again.
Great breakfast & coffee! Egg and bacon sandwich was amazing. Friendly staff. Nice find in Albury when passing through, will come back if in the area
Late morning on a sunny Saturday & the place is packed, which is not a surprise given its good ratings. Managed to squeeze into the bench seats along the window, behind a group of a dozen on a long communal table.
The waiters were really friendly and all the food looked amazing. Unfortunately my hunt for the best waffles is still continuing. The "banana and salted butterscotch waffles" ($15.50) were good, but something was missing. Perhaps another triangle half of a waffle would have moved this dish up into the realms of amazing, especially given the generous volume of butterscotch sauce.
The home made honeycomb had been taken right to the edge so the sweetness was tinged with a yummy bitter note, helping to tone down the dish. The vanilla ice-cream is locally made & it was nice to see the speckle of vanilla beans through.
There were so many other good sounding dishes that if I return, I wouldn't order the waffles again. A nearby order of the "grilled haloumi and dukkah eggs" looked particularly attractive!
Saw a number of people leaving with takeaway coffees, so the coffee (Padre, Brunswick) must be good. Takeaway small $3.70, large $4.70.
This local Albury cafe offers a specialty esque menu to its residents and hungry travellers from the Hume.
Coffee ordered:
Flat white and long black. Using Padre coffee from Melbourne, which is a great start, but could have been done a bit more justice. My long black was ok, a bit under extracted, if I'm being critical. Still went down nicely as it cooled. The flat white tasted balanced, the art was absent and the milk a bit frothy. Overall still one of the better coffees you can get out here.
Food ordered:
Kale and pea smash + bacon, haloumi and eggs + chorizo. The haloumi and eggs is a no brainer, an easy dish to whip up and ingredients you can't fault. I was pleasantly surprised at the value and flavour combo of the kale and peas. It was served with fresh roti and the bacon is great add if your a carnivore. I did question the gratings of cheese on top... seemed to clash with the more spice flavours of the dish. But really enjoyed it overall.
Ambience:
Things move a bit slower out here but that said everyone is very friendly. The food took some time to arrive but no complaints from us. I can imagine lots of melbournians pass through and give a bad rating for this place purely out of snobbery, but this is not melbourne and deserves some grace for trying something unique for being so seperate from the big city.
I pass through Albury often on road trips to Sydney. I'll be sure to stop in again for coffee and a meal.
On our trip back from Melbourne we had our pleasant stop at Albury and in search of brunch and stumbled upon the Proprietor, they offered delicious infusions with varieties of sandwich to stews for a generous price.
Would definitely return if we were to pass Albury for a bite before a trip.
Good variety menu, went there for breakfast, it was busy but we didn't have to wait long. Friendly staff .
Tasty food
Stopped here from our drive from Sydney to Melbourne. Even though it was crowded food and coffee came out after a reasonable time. Coffee is great and food is also very nice.
Excellent cafe with superb coffee and food. We stayed across the road at the Quest for a few nights and visited the cafe several times as everything was consistent and reliable. The manager was the consummate host, and made us feel very welcome each time. This was greatly appreciated, particularly as we had our 18 month old with us each visit. Well done.
First time in Albury for my family and I this past weekend.
It was just an overnight stay for work and we needed somewhere to go for a good breakfast.
We found this place and it was better thank good it was in fact GREAT!!!!!!
Much to my surprise they serve Padre coffee which is my very favourite.
We hand the Benedict, Açai bowl, Banana waffles, kids waffles and the big breakfast (forgot the exact name).
All were delicious and full of flavour.
Service was great and the owner was super helpful to get us seated quickly on a busy and cold Sunday morning.
Can’t wait to visit again.
I had the Fish special & omg the flavour combinations were great! Salmon was cooked perfectly, nice and crispy outside, perfect inside & crispy skin. It was with brown rice cooked with all sorts of goodies, very interesting meal all round.
