Modern Aussie Cuisine with great coffee by day, and apparently a good thai restaurant by night…read more We visited the 'polished' and very 'modern' feeling and looking place twice in two days whilst in the KV. First time for tea and coffee and the second, the next day for lunch. Both occasions left us feeling happy and satisfied with our food and service. So - the tea and coffee. Important to note that we hate paying 3.50 for a bag of tea in a mug with hot water, so it was really nice to have a personal POT of with good quality loose leaf tea in it. The little things count for us, so when the tea came out with come water too (in case you want to cool down the HOT water), we found that to be a nice touch. You will see from the uploaded pics, that this place boasts to have the 'the best coffee'... Now for a Sydney sider that drinks great coffee every day, I would say I was surprised to have such a great coffee in the KV. I had another the next day too. The food was also good. Standard menu with good all round food, but certainly not gourmet by any means. Good place overall, at the right price with a clean fit out and friendly staff!! Looking forward to trying the thai!

We were on our way down the coast and stopped in for a bite of lunch in Kangaroo Valley. We found…read morethe ? to have a quaint appearance and appeal. Once inside we were greeted by some extremely friendly staff. The decor was well styled and thought out. We order 4 lunch meals however were given the option of the entire menu form Breakfast to the specials. We only had to wait a short amount of time before the food came out. The food was fresh, hot and delicious. I am a big eater so I could always said the portions need to be bigger but everyone else was pleased with their portions and weren't hungry when we left. I found the air-conditioning on a hot day to be a god send. I would recommend calling in for a meal if you're in the area.

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).

The service is excellent - vibe is great and the menu has so many delicious dishes. I am sad we didn't get to taste anything besides breakfast but not sad because breakfast was AWESOME!!!

If you're in the area go to the Blue Goose. You will love it!

We came around 11am on a Saturday when it wasn't too busy so it was easy to find a nice table. The breakfast menu didn't excite us too much so just waited for lunch to start (11:30am, it is an all-day brekkie). During that time we had coffee, milkshakes and frappes, everyone all really liked their decisions. At lunch I got the D&S burger and chips which was really really nice, it had a bit of a Big Mac taste but with bacon :) This is definitely a good place if you have kids, room for strollers and an inside play area for kids. Plus there is a small park and playground (swings/slide) out the front that looks out onto the river and bridge. Plenty of parking out the front too.

Beautiful location in the town of Georra with fantastic fresh sea food on offer.

I was very happy with the Irish Whiskey choices to top off a wonderful evening.

But when the cars stop the bell birds come through loud and clear and you soak up the sun shine in joy. There's a huge parking lot to the right of the estate, easy to find a spot. There's a small kids park/playground with a swing set up. You'll find this place sort of a throw back as the guys that run this place are living true to olden day times. No modern doodads and the ladies have super long locks as they don't cut their hair with their cotton clothes. They make the bread on sight, the eggs are laid by the cluck clucks out the back so my toast and eggs were divine. The coffee is actually surprisingly good! They have small cups and big mugs for those of us that need a super hit to keep driving instead of curling up under a tree in the sunshine. There's oaken tables inside and seating outside under umbrellas out the front and a cosy outside area out the back too covered in trellis flowers and seating. There's small items that are all handmade for sale inside that I'll be going to check out soon. So if you're in the area or want to do a day trip, this is a beautiful country road drive out here with fresh air and wildlife to listen to. The cars are a watching point too. As are the bikes on good days. Lovely day trip if you want a day out.

I visited this place a week after the other so it was still vivid and fresh in my mind. They are different places ran by the same people. Even the menu items are different. But as with the Yellow Deli, the food was amazing and worth the wait. Next time I think I'll try the Ruben Sandwich that they are known for. The green drink is also done right and it was my first time having it. Will be back here again and tell all my friends about it. They also are priced quite reasonable compare to most places these days. Their pies are amazing too, don't usually go for dessert but no skipping that here.

From the owner: At Earth Walker & Co, we exist to reignite the primal connection between food, fire, and community…read more By day, we are a sunlit café rooted in simplicity — a warm, grounded space where wholesome meals, house-made bakes, and ethically sourced coffee flow with rhythm and soul. Our food honours the land it comes from, the hands that grew it, and the people who gather to share it. By night, the fire takes over. Flames crackle, smoke curls, and stories unfold through each dish. We create immersive, open-fire dining experiences that awaken the senses — showcasing native ingredients, seasonal produce, and the raw beauty of cooking over embers. No shortcuts. No pretence. Just food with integrity, served with ceremony. We’re not just here to serve meals. We’re building a movement — one that champions small-scale farming, sustainable practices, creative expression, and soulful hospitality. Our general store reflects this ethos too: a curated extension of our kitchen filled with pantry staples, artisanal goods, and fire-forged flavours to take home. Every choice we make — from the timber we burn to the sea salt we sprinkle — is deliberate. Local. Ethical. Thoughtful. At Earth Walker, we believe food should be felt, not just tasted. It should nourish the body, stir the imagination, and connect us to something ancient yet new. We’re here to create a global-standard experience with deep local roots where rustic meets refined, and every guest leaves inspired.
