This is now The Post Office cafe and it is indeed very cute and charming. The menu does not change…read moredaily, but they have some nice standards and the interior has been lovingly updated to reflect the heritage nature of this place (the original Post Office in the little village of Moss Vale). The new owners as of 2017 spent time to really highlight the history and it shows. From their website: Built in the late 1800s, the Post Office, located right next to the famous Moss Vale train line, linking Sydney to the Southern Highlands, was the main official building of this small town. ​ It played a vital role as it delivered mail to its inhabitants as well as provided constant communication between the city and the area to visiting governors. ​ It stayed as a Post Office for over 100 years. In the 1990 it began morphing into offices, a bank and 20 years later, cafes. ​ In March 2017 restorations began to bring back to life, and back to the 21st Century, this beautiful heritage listed building. ​ It is situated right in the midst of Moss Vale, which is no longer a little sleepy, country town but, a vibrant place to be with now, an array of boutiques, restaurants, shops & an easy train ride up to Sydney (or down to Melbourne).

A SCUBA diving…read morebuddy always questions me if I have difficulty getting into my wet suit by asking: "Eating too many pies?" My response is usually the non-verbal kind. I also love making pies (and pasties) during winter. I'm not a pie-making master but I know what I like, how it should be constructed and when I am paying too much for a mediocre one. Enter Bowral Country Hot Bread in New South Wales' Southern Highlands. As the name suggests it's a "hot bread" shop - a term used by most Vietnamese-Australian bakers. The bakery has a selection of breads, rolls, bread sticks and cakes and biscuits (nothing out of the ordinary) but, unlike most bakeries in the town and in the area (who proudly display awards and commendations), offer what I consider to be the best value-for-money pies in the Southern Highlands (with quality and prices that would rival most bakeries in NSW). Bowral Country Hot Bread doesn't offer fancy pies with gourmet fillings - the fanciest would probably be the steak and kidney. Pies are cheap (around $3.50) and there is a variety to choose such as steak; steak and mushroom; steak and onion; pepper steak; and a pretty damn good beef, bacon and cheese. I'm not going to intricately break down every pie I have had from Bowral Country Hot Bread but the beef that is used is ground - not minced and I have never found one skerrick of gristle in them. The steak pie is full of chunks of tender gravy beef (it seems the ground beef is used for the combination fillings). The steak and mushroom pie has quartered or halved button mushrooms depending on the mushroom's original size (not a couple of slivers of sliced mushrooms), and the gravy used for most of the pies is rich and dark and nicely seasoned with a bit more pepper than the usual bakery pie. Fillings are also generous, so much so that the only criticism is that the pie tends to sag at the base from the weight. The pastry is slightly buttery with a flaky lid. Possibly the one pie that I crave is the beef, bacon and cheese. This sinful pie has ground beef mixed with bacon cubes and melted cheese - all integrating into a smoky and cheesy cholesterol-laden sticky puddle. Great for breakfast but bad for neoprene. Yes, it's just a small country bakery in New South Wales' Southern Highlands but it should be commended because this family-run bakery offers well-made and filling pies at considerably lower prices than its surrounding competitors, and, they're even open on public holidays (and don't hit you for a holiday surcharge). Bowral Country Hot Bread is a little gem and proves that you can make a damn good pie and sell it at a decent price - city and country bakers should take note. Nothing fancy - just generous.
