    We always enjoy paperbark. Service was great today & I love the vanilla slices . Their are definitely some weird items on the menu, however enough normal ones also to keep our group happy.

    Overall a great place for brunch. The presentation of food was excellent. Sat outside. Very windy but still pleasant although table was sticky which was annoying. Some food under table drew ants. But; great coffee & food was delicious and a different take on than the normal most cafes have. Could do with a breakie burger though! Scones worth trying. Excellent shop and nursery to browse through after. Picked up some nice gifts & rustic things for the garden. Nice to see it’s dog friendly too. Did have to wait a while for scones although waitress did follow up when she realised we hadn’t got them after some time. Would visit again though! Also, had a sneaky wine or cocktail on offer which I’ll try next visit. Did get great help from gift shop lady when trying to decide on fragrance.

    Beautiful entrance via well stocked, interesting gift shop. Portion sizes were too big for us and could be simplified ( ie: truffled scrambled eggs). Friendly and efficient service. Will visit again and order from extras on the menu.

    Lovely place for morning tea or lunch. We were there for lunch and it was great, nice chicken pesto rolls with chips which were hot and crispy. English breakfast tea was strong as we like it. Only complaint would be the table was very sticky, they need to use a more powerful surface spray probably.
    Paperbark CafeResponded on 2 April 2025
    Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We appreciate the feedback, the table stickiness we are improving by resurfacing our tables over the next month. It appears the surface cleaner we have been using is breaking down the existing timber stain. Appreciate you letting us know. Look forward to seeing you next time. Thanks The Team @ Paperbark.

    We enjoyed a lovely lunch at Paperbark Cafe. The food was delicious, and the service and ambience were excellent. We also had a lovely view of the native gardens and nursery. We will be visiting again soon.

    Wow, my friend & I shared the "Benedict". Here is the description for reference: "Sweet potato & corn fritter, lemon aspen hollandaise, kale pesto, nashi sauerkraut, rosella cured salmon, poached eggs on house-made english muffin" They made it with a gluten free English muffin that was excellent & did Not charge me extra (which is very rare). The eggs were perfect, the pesto was punchy fresh & Amazing, the nashi sauerkraut had the Perfect amount of acidity, the cured salmon was out of this world... & the sauce (which neither of us usually like) was Hollendaise perfection. The dish was Beautifully presented. There was a corn fritter was was just gorgeous. The whole dish was Outstanding. Next time I am Not sharing. Wow! Thank you All so evry much! The service was wonderful. We both really needed a good chat & some yummy food TLC & this was The Best place to be. I cannot wait to come back.
