Take a look at what we found, tasted and LOVED …
SHACK EXPRESS – Coffee & Art is the perfect country-style eatery for those who want to feel like they’ve escaped the city while remaining in it. We can easily define their food as homely, heart-warming and belly-filling … the kind of nosh that is well worth the drive. We were hugely impressed by their simple menu – not too many choices but enough to cater for everyone’s taste. Smashing breakfasts, consistently good coffee, Cheezas, a Shack-style burger (made with a freshly baked waffle instead of a bun), gourmet shakes (think lavender and rose or coconut Lindt!) and cake tasting platter are well renowned. A lovely nursery offers a perfect excuse to do some plant shopping, not to mention the home décor shop – there’s local hand-made and painted art, antique finds, pots, concrete décor, chalk paint … the list is endless! And bring the kids along – there is a dedicated play area and loads of space to run around! Head on over, you will not be disappointed!
