Hidden in up a laneway off Market Street this is a great place to escape to on a hot day…read more The outdoor dining area is a narrow little area wedged between two old buildings. Grape vines span the space between the two buildings creating a cool, shaded area in between. The place has a real rustic feel to it and its obviously popular with the locals as it fills up every lunchtime. They do a great Reuben sandwich which oozes out what I swear is a homemade version of McDonalds big mac sauce. One of the best I've had for sure. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor area with water bowls spread around and a few pooches also enjoying a break from the heat on the day I was there. They're only open for dinner on Friday and Saturday night which is a shame as it would be a great dinner venue during the week.

As we were walking around, exploring Mudgee, I spotted a little cobblestone entrance and saw a courtyard covered in vine leaves. We quickly made a reservation for dinner and were not disappointed. We were seated in the courtyard, underneath the vines and there was even a live band playing some soulful tunes. It was absolutely perfect. For dinner we ordered the baked Brie (yes it was as good as it sounds), pumpkin dip with bread and stuffed mushrooms (plenty of vego options available). The food was excellent and we chose some local wine from Mudgee to match. All in all a great atmosphere, wonderful service and great food!

Love their baguettes, way better than Bourke Streets Bakery, as it's crispy on the outside while soft and slightly salty on the inside. The owner/baker is originally from France and makes beautiful pastries. I usually get the Flourless Chocolate Cake and Creme Brûlée. Excellent coffees and iced chocolates as well. Service is fast and friendly. It's best to enjoy everything in the front patio seating, while watching the locals go about their day. The only downsides are that it's so far from Sydney and they are closed on Sundays and Mondays.

Turned out it was 'Crema' which is literally just a little hole in the wall coffee shop that sells nothing but coffee. Obviously they do a great job of it because there is always a queue despite there being plenty of other warm and indoor coffee options within a few metres. The price is reasonable and I found their coffee to be strong but smooth and not at all bitter or burnt. They cram three staff members into a very small space so with on taking orders and two making the drinks service is quite fast.
