Set right on the edge of the park, this village cafe dishes up hearty post-ride breakfasts and nostalgia with zero fuss. Cyclists coming off the rail trail lean their bikes along the wide covered terrace, settling into bench seats with flat whites and corn fritters alongside smoked salmon and hollandaise. Table ordering via QR code skips both sign-up forms and payment surcharges. Regulars pair beef burgers and hot chips with house garlic aioli, rounding out midday stops with thickshakes spun straight from the scoop gelato cabinet.
