Of all the places to stop in Kojonup this has been our favourite so far. Nice spacious venue. Small, simple menu, but yummy food. Breakfast wrap and burger were great. Decent coffee and the bathrooms were very clean.

Came around lunch time and tables are almost full inside n outside. We waited pretty long almost 45 mins only to realize that there may be only one chef in there! Food is pretty good. We love the soup n bread toasted to perfection. Chicken wrap is on a sweeter note but very nice. Chips are yummy n batter crispy. Coffee’s hot n nice and our favorite is their wild berry with mint smoothieif u are driving from albany is this the next best thing to fill ur tummy with.
