Take a look at what we found, tasted and LOVED \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

SHACK EXPRESS \u2013 Coffee & Art<\/strong> is the perfect country-style eatery for those who want to feel like they\u2019ve escaped the city while remaining in it. We can easily define their food as homely, heart-warming and belly-filling \u2026 the kind of nosh that is well worth the drive. We were hugely impressed by their simple menu \u2013 not too many choices but enough to cater for everyone\u2019s 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 d\u00e9cor shop \u2013 there\u2019s local hand-made and painted art, antique finds, pots, concrete d\u00e9cor, chalk paint \u2026 the list is endless! And bring the kids along \u2013 there is a dedicated play area and loads of space to run around! Head on over, you will not be disappointed!
