Not only that it's a massive space with a first floor as well, with numerous rooms filled with local artists pieces. Even a room or 2 for meetings? Specialised Art classes out the back of the original post office in another separate building as well. Oh did I mention they do food as well? Open early (7:30am!!!) for coffee and more their hours seem to be far from consistent. It might be an idea to define far more consistent hours IMO. The menu is extensive and we only had pizzas on our visit. We will be back for sure. They do sandwiches, cakes, scones and so much more. Haven't had a coffee there and let's hope it's good. Early days yet and the concept is great. Let's hope it works!!! They deserve everyone to vist and the locals are already embrassing it.

Groups of tables and chairs divided by half walls which lower the noise and bench seats across one wall add extra comfort. Framed antique posters are a striking decorative feature and large sliding windows open to a footpath alfresco area. Separate menus for breakfast lunch and dinner offer a wide range of international, contemporary dining options. The locally roasted coffee was excellent. Definitely noted in our diary.

For breakfast however, it wasn't very good for me as there were very limited lower carb/higher protein items. We ordered an almond croissant and a sausage and shiraz roll along with a flat white coffee. We sat outside as they didn't have the AC running and it was really way too warm inside. They have table service inside and servers that run out the food you had ordered at the counter. They were all super friendly and even asked if everything was satisfactory as they cleared our table. Unfortunately, neither of the baked goods were great. The almond croissant had a nicely laminated dough although it needed a tad of salt. The dough was buttery however lacking flavor most likely due to a lack of salt in the butter they used in the dough. The filling was almost like really dense cake batter with basically no almond flavor - the texture seemed almost right, maybe they forgot the almond paste or almond extract. We are used to a much, much stronger flavored almond croissant with almond paste inside. There were nicely toasted almond slices on the top. The sausage roll was a real disappointment. Although it looked really nice it was very heavy, seemed greasy and had two fundamental flaws. The dough was too thick around the sausage so when they wrapped it and baked it there was way too much dough and it was actually nearly raw all along the bottom edges. The sausage was not crumbled or taken out of the casing so when you bit through the roll (or even cut it as we did) the entire sausage slipped right out of the dough and left a big empty hole! It did have nice caramelized onions and some herbs or spinach (didn't eat enough to know exactly!) between the dough and sausage - they might have contributed to the wet/raw sogginess of the dough if they were not cooked enough and then released water into the dough. They were very gracious when I asked if I could get a refund for the sausage roll as I could not find anything else I wanted to get as a replacement. Our server could not have been any more professional and nice about it. He got approval from his manager and gave us the refund. The flat white was very good. If I needed to eat some lovely desserts I'd give them another try given their professional staff and good service.
