The Macaroons at Farmers Daughter would have to be some of the best in Canberra. Their coffee isn't bad either. We like the Yarralumla store, but they have other locations throughout Canberra.
The most impressive thing about Farmers Daughter is the amazing picture on the back wall. If you can tear your eyes away from the cakes and quiches, that image will be the icing on a delicious meal.
Great quiche, good coffee, fresh salads and hipster wait staff make this a keeper - but pick your time as the clientele gets a fair bit older than other coffee spots nearby :)
Baked eggs are sooooooooooo yummy. Good healthy serve of bread on the side. Partner had a sweet rhubarb toast with icecream for bfast they loved it too. Coffee could be hotter.
Great fitout, good coffee, something for everyone on the menu and inviting for groups and families. A lovely way to spend the morning on a weekend :)
Busy but worth it. Always enjoyed this place. The omelette was lovely, the coffee solid.
Reasonably busy but the wait wasn't too long.
A favourite. This place has quickly become one of my favourite breakfast venues. While it's usually pretty busy staff always seem to make sure you're well looked after. Prices aren't outrageous but do add up if you have a few sides, I don't mind though as they are terribly delicious and given generously. The fit out is lovely, the use of different cuttlerly and dinnerware are appreciated - it's all in the detail after all! But I have to say the biggest star here is the staff. One young man in particular who is always quiet by friendly and accommodating.
Yummy Breakfast. Good breakfast with a decent size serving. A little expensive than most places but the coffee is spot on.
Good breakfast, slightly controversial painting. Been trying to find good pouched eggs, they did them well here. Great coffee. Only criticism is the seats a little uncomfortable.
Delicious. Some of the negative reviews are a little harsh. When we visited the staff were great. Very professional and happy to help. The coffee is nothing to complain about either. The eggs were brilliant.
I like the food even though expensive compared to others around.Shame you cannot book a table.Has been slow service every time we have been .Staff seem nice. Would prefer to be able to sit outside in summer but only a few seats. Very noisy inside.
Delicious brunch! Food was well presented, coffee was delicious, and my brunch came with an apple :) will definitely come back.

Great Addition to Canberra's Cafe Scene. I was surprised to read a multitude of pretty bad reviews on Farmers Daughter. My own personal experience was terrific, my partner and I were given a $60 gift voucher for Christmas and went in April. When we were driving there we realised our voucher was 2 days past its use by and we called to see if this would be an issue and they said it was fine and we appreciated the flexibility.
When we got there we were both impressed with the semi industrial feel to the place and noticed lots of nice details, the small juice bottles with the paper straw (loved the concept but quite a small serve of juice), nice crockery, and I for one quite like the painting of the woman milking a cow, i think it is meant to embody the 'farmers daughter' concept but i guess i can see how conservatives could find it sexist. I also disagree with other comments regarding the coffee as i'm quite a fussy coffee drinker however i enjoyed my coffee, it was strong and the right temperature (which is often not hot enough for the majority)
My partner and I both enjoyed our meals a lot, a slightly different take on a couple of classics. we had something bruchetta-esque and i had a breakfast burger i think it was. The burger was ok, but the bruschetta was delicious. We then very lavishly ordered dessert and had the crepes it came with fig and fresh honeycomb. a perfect finish to a delicious lunch. When we went to pay the meal had come to exactly $60 which we both thought was pretty good for 3 meals, 2 coffees and a juice. Although i must admit they were closing up the cafe as we were finishing which would have been around 3pm, which as others have mentioned seems quite early for this type of cafe who would do well in the afternoon trade. The service was also good, friendly and attentive but not intrusive or pretentious. thumbs up, i'll be going back next time i'm in the area.
I have had lunch and breakfast here several times now. Good food excellent service and funky decor. It my new favourite.
I like this place, I've been a few times and I like the coffee. The menu is great too, I've had breakfast there twice and enjoyed it, and the macaroons are to die for! However, I am put off by anywhere that is too precious to take bookings - seriously if I can't be guaranteed a table, why would I bother going?? For this reason I tend to go to Beess & Co if I'm having breakfast in Yarralumla. Just as good if not better.
Pleasant but Pricey. A busy little food hotspot under the gorgeous draping trees of Yarralumla. It's popular so get here late (after the bikers rush around 8am) for breakfast or a scrumptious lunch from midday.
Museli is great and well presented, eggs always cooked to perfection and coffee goes down a treat.
Staff are normally delightful, just watch out for those ditzy waitresses who can't seem to remember that they have customers sitting outside.
However, the prices are little grander then most Canberra breakfast spots.
Great coffee and fantastic service. We shared the continental as a mid-ride snack and found it perfect to refuel. Will come again.
Excellent. Great coffe, yummy food and a proper sized table to read the papers on Saturday morning. We love farmers daughter and the macaroons are delish!
Great. Awesome coffee and nice food. The staff were friendly and efficient. Yummy!

Overall a very cute space to meet up with friends for a coffee and some very nice sweets. I would love to go again and hope it does well as it shares the Yarralumla shops with two other bakeries/cafes.
My potato and bacon frittata was also quite tasty, with a nice crunchy crust on the top, and creamy potato slices in the filling. The bacon imparted a subtle smokey flavour through the layers of potato. Then there was the side salad. My experience with side salads has mostly been a measly pile of random green leaves and possibly a wedge of tomato or
The menus are on cute little clipboards and it’s one of those occasions where everything sounds enticing; enough adjectives to intrigue but not so many as to overwhelm. I consider the french toast, described as ‘soft toasted brioche slices served with fresh summer berries and lavender cream’, but I can never quite go past a savoury brunch and so I choose the fried egg bruschetta with romesco. Breakfast dishes hover around the $16 mark, so you know if it’s less than perfect I’ll be sending it back.
The best vanilla latte I’ve found in the Canberra area among the MANY coffee shops. The porridge is something I’m still craving- it was absolutely delicious, came in a large portion and I found myself continuing to eat it despite how full I was. It was THAT good. It’s tucked in a tiny little shopping strip.
This is really nice cafe to sit and relax. My dirty chai was of a reasonable price and quality. From what I could see of the food being served, it too was of good quality and quantity. I didn't hear any complaints from the clientele! Recommended.
We booked a table for six. It was all ready when arrived. The service was quick. The coffee was strong, hot, and delicious. The meals were fresh and creative. I had poached eggs and they were perfect. My companion had the chicken salad and all the elements were perfectly cooked, seasoned, and the vinaigrette didn't over power the dish but made it taste zesty and vibrant. We will be back!
Great cosy, and busy Cafe. Food was great and snappy service. We took our pooch and sat outside. Nice lively Cafe!
Coming away from Canberra, popped in for a hot chocolate. Lovely Cafe, friendly staff and delightful pastries. Seems this is the local " hanging out " joint . Busy.
My regular coffee haunt in Canberra. Never regret coming here, though I wish the croissants tasted a littleeee fresher for the price.
EQ in Deakin is better for this
Had a lovely leisurely brunch here. Fantastic food and coffee, and great service. Recommended!
Very nice Cafe with brilliant waiters. A young boy tamed Riley treated us very well and swiftly delivered the food
