I love the vintage European theme. It's quite cool even though I was a very hot day. Staffs were lovely. The food was delicious, however the oil or butter on my toast has a rancid smell.

I can say this café truly amazed me. From the moment you walk in, the entrance is inviting, with a beautiful old vintage design inside and out. The coffee and food are both excellent, but what I love most is how cosy and warm it feels during winter. The fireplace is always lit, and the scent of burning wood brings the true feeling of winter to life. Definitely adding this to my list of favourite places to visit!

This place has so much character, it’s off the charts. Iced coffee was the best ever, food is delicious and the staff very friendly. If I was going to open my own cafe, this is exactly what I’d do. The menu is cleverly done, not complicated but enough options to suit everyone.

If you’re looking for a spot where both humans and furry friends get the royal treatment, Avalon Café is the place. Our dog (she’s the queen of the family) had the best time—pretty sure she was ready to claim her own table! Breakfast was . We shared the smash avo with poached eggs —and those eggs were poached to perfection. Paired with smooth, delicious coffee , it was the kind of breakfast that makes you want to stand up and cheer for the chef. The window display was pure temptation —almond croissants , apple slices , and other treats that looked divine. Next time, one of those croissants is definitely coming home with us. Inside is cozy and welcoming , but the outside garden really stole the show —relaxed, beautiful, and perfect for families, kids, dogs, and cyclists. We’re already planning to bring our cycling crew for a breakfast stop after a ride. Great vibes, great food, great people. Avalon Café—you’ve officially won us (and our pup) over.

Avalon of Woodside is an absolute gem! The coffee here is consistently amazing, rich and full of flavor. The breakfast options are equally impressive, with fresh ingredients and generous portions that leave you fully satisfied. The cozy atmosphere, enhanced by a charming fireplace, makes it the perfect spot to relax. The staff is warm and welcoming, always going above and beyond to ensure you have a great experience. Highly recommended!

Our first visit certainly ticked all the boxes. The ambience was enhanced by the crackling fire and the open kitchen. The coffee was good, as was our food. We had the lunch menu. Our son was able to have something from the breakfast menu that the crew was only too happy to cook. We will be returning to try the breakfast menu with some interstate friends soon.

Adorable little cafe hidden off the main road. Plenty of signs around to find though! Lovely friendly service and super quick, such an efficient little team here and they were fantastic! Great prices for great quality here! A little more maple syrup wouldve been nice with the pancakes. Recommend!

We had a wonderful brunch in this gorgeous cafe! The service was great, the food was tasty and it definitely has a secret garden vibe. There's plenty of room for little ones to play while the adults enjoy their coffees
