On our trip north, stopped in for lunch and I had one of the best ham/tomato/cheese toasties ever, my wife had a lovely fresh Scone, and they were washed down with some great coffees. Highly recommended...

Cafe on Kelly is more than just a great coffee spot—it’s a place with heart. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the coffee is consistently excellent, and the service is full of genuine smiles. What makes this place truly special is its mission: as a social enterprise, they’re providing meaningful employment opportunities for people with disabilities—and you can feel the pride and purpose behind everything they do. Every visit feels like you’re supporting something that matters. Highly recommend stopping in for a cuppa, a bite, and a reminder of the good that exists in the world.

Delicious egg & bacon roll and chai latte this morning, served quickly by friendly & caring staff. A really warm and inviting country cafe experience within this business. According to the signage inside and outside the cafe, they serve Toby’s Estate coffee and all food is made in house fresh. The owner Jill, of Cafe On Kelly provides young people with disabilities the opportunity to work in the hospitality environment, learning valuable work and life skills. What an amazing and forward thinking social enterprise business !!

Fantastic. In-house baked goods punched with flavour, great taste and variety of hot drinks (ginger spiced chai latte just beats the cinnamon chai latte) and slices. Social enterprise associates. Great seating options. Don't miss this spot when you head through town :)

Lovely atmosphere, great service. Honestly the best banana smoothie I have ever had. They also went above and beyond to meet the dietary requirements of my friend. Highly recommend! (Sorry about the bad picture I had to stop to take a photo before it was all gone)
