This tiny little cafe exudes the straightforward charm of the outback. The space is fitted with picnic tables, brick walls, and some interesting art pieces. The main highlight here, however, is the menu, offering perfectly flavorful and light meals catering to breakfast, lunch and dinner cravings. Breakfast is served until 1p, offering staples such as ciabatta toast, egg plates and fruit salads. For a more filling lunch or supper, patrons can order from their selection of Australian-themed burgers and chicken sandwiches. Their panini and pastas are the favorites of the regulars; try the "Posh BLT" with prosciutto and avocado dressed with aioli, or their shrimp pasta with chili oil, lime, tomatoes and arugula. Wash it all down with a robust coffee or beer. This is a hit with the local Aussies.
