Cafe Enzo is part of Peppers Creek Village and Peppers Creek winery…read more They have breakfast, lunch, and a cheeky "in-between" menu. The place was busy with high spirits and we were still seated right away. Food came pretty quick which was nice because we had wine tasting appointments to be mindful of. Egg and Bacon Roll 2 fried eggs, plus bacon on a pita roll, with homemade sweet and tangy tomato chutney. Great combo sandwich - larger than expected. "Enzo" Big Breakfast 2 eggs (seemed like at least 4 actually) your way, bacon (more like rustic farmhouse style American ham), whole mushrooms and roasted whole tomatoes on two thick slices of toast. This is like a big boy chunky style brekky - you have to cut everything but it is hearty and delicious. Make sure you're hungry! Cappucino - frothy, large and smooth! Love this place, there's really nothing to be picky about here. Expectations exceeded, service prompt, helpful and nice, yet efficient. That's all...

It was VERY filling. Our server was delightful. She checked on us regularly & made sure we were okay.

My family and I came here after lunch on a weekend. The first thing we noticed was how busy this…read moreplace was, it was packed. Upon queuing I was so sure we wouldn't get a seat, but the friendly waiter instead asked if we want to sit outside, of course we said yes, that's the best seat in the house! With beautiful view overlooking the Lambloch vineyard on a beautiful day, I knew this is a start of something good. The menu was extensive. Choosing over their huge selections of delectable desserts was not a walk in the park. I wanted to try their soufflé but they run out, so I had the Portuguese Traditional Chocolate Mousse instead. The portion was generous. The mousse was soft and creamy, moorish without being too sweet which I prefer. We also had the Medley Tasting Plate. It's a plate with selections of Ferrero Rocher Gateau, Mini Lemon Curd meringue in a sweet pastry, Strawberry mousse & mixed berry compote topped with Strawberry, Black Forest scheibe topped with amorello cherry and a caramelised nut triangle tart. Perfect for someone like me who can't decide on one dessert. I have them paired with a glass of Lambloch Vineyard Diva Sparkling Wine. Heavenly! The kids had the Kids Chocolate Dipping Plate, which my kids were so excited about, because they get to dip strawberries, poco loco, marshmallows, snakes, Jelly Babies, honeycomb and banana lollies into Sabor's chocolate pod. It was priceless seeing the smile on the kids face and how much fun they had. So, I sit back with my Sparkling in one hand, breeze softly blow through my hair, taking everything in, the beautiful view, the precious time spent with family and for a moment time stood still. It was a beautiful way to end a trip to the Hunter.

Stopped here for lunch after visiting both the aqua golf and putt putt while wandering the gardens…read more A fairly nice restaurant with lots of outdoor seating, and very casual. Order at the counter and they bring it out to you. Looking at the menu there was a few thing to choose from. I chose something a bit more traditional and got the beef (added bacon) burger. The chips were quite nice and the burger... okay. It wasn't anything amazing. A little boring is all I could gather. It needed something like ranch or tangy aioli to give it a bit more zing. Overall a decent place to stop for food and for a reasonable price. But nothing totally amazing.

My partner and I had lunch here after playing putt putt and Aqua golf. It had gone 2 pm and since it was a Tuesday it wasn't as busy as I've seen it in the past. Weekends can be a rush. I ordered a chocolate thickshake which came in one of those massive metal mixing cups. I love spooning out the ice cream before sipping my way to a full milk belly. It was delicious! My roast chicken wrap was pricey for the size. $18 with no accompanying chips but it too was tasty and I enjoyed the combination of the mellow tasty cheese with the red onion and roasted capsicum. An ice cream shop adjoins the building; I think they are both linked under Oscars.

Ah Polina's not only do you have the same nickname as my mother, but you make a coffee good enough…read moreto back up that name. Being in Cessnock *Hunter Valley* you'd think a café in the country wouldn't be able to compare to its city counter parts, oh how'd wrong you be. It all starts with Polina herself a very jittery and quirky lady from Europe who us extremely friendly. Then comes the food an assortment of Aussie classic breakfast foods with a little touch of class to them. Lastly comes the best part the coffee, it's the best I've had in Australia perfect amount of coffee to milk ratio and frothed perfectly! So if you're from the Hunter or just here on a wine trip you have to stop in! PS the bathroom in here is awesome, I won't say why but it goes hand & hand with your coffee.

Great cafe and bakery. The gourmet pies are the ones to go for. The chicken, leak and mushroom is…read moremy favourite and hard to go past. The steak, bacon and mushroom is also very good. Good value and only a little more expensive than the standard pie range (which is also quite good). Lots of other products apart from pies including cakes, sandwiches, rolls and the normal cafe stuff. Nicely renovated seating areas indoors and out. The outside section at the back is quiet and relaxing. Coffee is good but not top notch. As this review is more about the pies, I still rate it 5 stars.

We called ahead and booked a table for a medium sized group. When we turned up there weren't too many customers (alarm bells should have been ringing but we continued anyway). The chicken was awesome - cooked perfectly and on top of a big arancini ball which was full of flavour. Unfortunately everyone else was pretty disappointed with their meals. Gravlax salad was covered in salt for some reason, they'd renamed meatloaf as 'compressed pulled pork' which caught out a few people, and their wedges were completely inedible and soggy. We actually sent all the wedges back and the staff vented about how the good wedges were expensive so they bought the cheap ones and you just can't expect any better than that. They threw them in the oven a bit longer but basically they came back hotter but still inedible. On the plus side though you can take your receipt to the cellar door next door (Gartlelmann Wines) and get 10% off.
