THE LODGE

The Lodge is a unique little spot that serves up hearty meals with a side of community vibes. You pop in for a quick coffee and end up sticking around for the gluten-free cake and custard you didn’t know you needed. The outdoor seating is a real bonus, especially if you want to feel like a local while munching on some scrumptious sandwiches that they let you customize.

However, be warned if you’re considering booking the place for a larger gathering. There’s a chance you might end up with cold coffee instead of the hot lattes promised pre-event. So while the food is solid, steer clear of any major functions unless you want to test the management’s crisis skills. For casual lunches and coffee dates, The Lodge nails it.
