The Cat’s Meow

Great atmosphere and friendly staff. The decorations were so cute and the idea of putting the menus in storybooks is so clever! Delicious cakes!

Just had a delicious breakfast and coffee. I normally have 1 sugar with my coffee but my coffee was so delicious I didn't even add a sugar. Salmon omelette was beautiful and my husband's eggs benedict had perfectly poached eggs with plenty of yummy hollandaise

Quality local produce and interesting menu. After being taken here by a friend who in turn had been taken here by his mother, I have had the pleasure of visiting this kitsch gem twice now, have recommended it to some ten others and will return again. Hidden away in one of the old shopping arcades on Charters Towers Road, this cafe, deli and purveyor of strange odds and ends is serving some of the most interesting breakfasts I have seen in some time. On a menu that bravely had the listed special as crumbed brains was a range that included house made feta on toast with honey and locally sourced Backfatters bacon.<br/ <br/ Most recently, I ordered a full breakfast, while my girlfriend ordered mushroom and tomato bruschetta. My breakfast included both maple and regular bacon and chipolata, all provided by Backfatters and all delicious. In addition, the large serving board included eggs sunny side up, house made baked beans, sourdough toast, mushrooms and a most exquisite potato, herb and mozzarella hash that made my morning. A friend who went there on my recommendation, twice now, has said that it was busy to the point of staff advising a reservation, but also sang the praises of the food.

Loved the quirky atmosphere and decor, staff and food. I felt like I walked back into my childhood. The menu offered a great variety of beverages, breakfast, lunch and desserts. Staff are super friendly and welcoming. A really nice place to sit with friends and enjoy what the establishment has to offer.

It's rare to feel like you have entered another world when you walk into a cafe, here I totally there was another world. Food is delicious and huge portions. Service is great and atmosphere just delightful.
