Recently had the stuffed mushrooms. Excellent. Chips not so good. Surrounds are pleasant especially on a sunny day. Plenty of other things to browse as well after you've eaten, nursery, art gallery, museum. Well worth a visit.

Nice and strong, ready to kick you into the day. Outdoor seating only (two benches), and pay as you collect the coffee. Very friendly owner, working hard to keep his scaled down business going.

This was a gem. Recommended in our guide book we took the chances and never regretted.

Music from Brooklyn radio blasting creating a funky environment where everything's good. Coffee was a 4star deal but the atmosphere and music definite 5. Highly recommended and would definitely go back for more coffee and beats...

Coffee 22 In town for work, so drove downtown to get lunch…read more This place took my eye as I drove past, with 6 people enjoying their lunch at the tables out the front. On entry, I found the cafe comfortable, clean, with nice background music playing . There is a log fire but it was not lit today. Prompt friendly service by the sole waiter. I ordered the pork belly on a bed of spinach leaf. Drizzled with a gravy-type sauce. I was expecting the $10 lunch special, however the price was reasonable and I thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Chocolate thick shake in a tall glass washed it down. Offers free Wi-Fi but will need to ask for the password Highly recommend

In The Mix was a bakery in Merimbula that I visited several times for coffee. though I never tried…read morethe baked goods or sandwiches, I did like the vibe here a little better than Willis bakery down the street; it was friendlier and newer. The staff seemed to appreciate my business, and the coffee was excellent. I also noted that they offered gluten-free baked goods, though I'm sad to say I did not get a chance to try any before I left town. On my last visit, blueberry muffins were the featured gluten-free item; but I had just finished a big breakfast. (I should have bought one to go). The outside seating also looked quite inviting. If I get the chance to come back (next year), I will definitely return here to try more of their offerings, sit for a while, and people-watch.

But what happens when pancakes with bacon isn't on the menu? This is a common problem that we all face from time to time but luckily Willis Bakery is happy to take up the challenge for a mid morning breakfast. Fluffy, thick pancakes with a decent size portion of bacon and maple syrup to top it off. Staff very friendly and accommodating.

Nothing special. Every time I came here the place was staffed by teenagers. Service on my visits was mostly sullen and bored. (which admittedly goes with the territory). Requests by me for a fresh-made sandwich (rather than the pre-made ones) were met by a sigh. (Maybe they don't pay them enough?) But the sandwiches and bread were good, so they more than met the need.
