Open 7 days a week from 10am to 5pm. All day coffee.
Right here, on ground shaped by courage and conviction, our café invites you to pause, gather, and refuel. Just as the diggers once came together under the Southern Cross to share stories, strength and simple comforts, we welcome you to do the same - over expertly brewed coffee, honest food, and warm hospitality.
