If you’re cruising along the highways of Silkwood, QLD, make a stop at the Coffee & Food Cart, a hidden gem that locals are raving about. This quaint café is not just about grabbing a quick caffeine fix; it's about indulging in an experience that tantalizes your taste buds while you enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

The atmosphere here is laid-back and charming, perfect for a quick break or a leisurely snack. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the air, and the friendly staff are always ready to greet you with a warm smile, adding a personal touch to your visit. The cart may be humble, but the flavors it delivers are anything but.

Begin your day with a cup of their Excellent Espresso, which includes choices like Flat White, Long Black, and Mocha. Each sip promises rich, robust flavors, skillfully crafted to awaken your senses. If you prefer something indulgent, opt for a Hot Chocolate or a spiced Chai.

But the offerings don’t stop at beverages! The food selection is equally impressive, with options that cater to all cravings. Picture yourself biting into a scrumptious Steak Cheese Bacon pie or savoring a Bacon and Egg Roll, which both shine with their delightful mix of textures and flavors. As customer Denise Mueller notes, this café is the “best roadside stop for fresh bakery treats, espresso & grilled toasties,” a perfect summary of the experience you can expect here.

For those on the go, the menu includes convenient handheld delights like ham, cheese, and pineapple sandwiches or the deliciously comforting sausage rolls. Gavin R's comments about them serving the “best coffee on the highway” paired with a “pretty good toastie” truly convey what makes this stop a must-visit.

If you're on an adventure, just like Silke Zimmermann who enjoyed a delightful breakfast of a bacon and egg roll alongside their coffee, you may find that this little café becomes a highlight of your journey. Don’t forget to try the original-style custard tart that Paul Neville speaks so highly of—it’s the perfect sweet finish to your meal.

With everything from fresh bakery goods to quality espresso, Coffee & Food Cart presents a charming pause in your travel itinerary. Next time you’re cruising by, take a moment to enjoy the friendly vibes, delightful food, and, of course, some of the best coffee in the area.

Well! I had seen the signs. But, possibly like many others, had passed by this little roadside cafe numerous times. Yesterday, I decided to stop in for a light lunch and check it out. I was very pleasantly surprised. A tasty selection of food was on offer. Including pies, sausage rolls, different types of cakes and a good selection of sandwiches. The coffee, the toasted tuna sandwich and the fruit cake which I ordered were all delicious. The covered, simply but tastefully furnished area more spacious than I had thought it would be and the service good. I shall return. Highly recommended!

A simple but fabulous stop. The best iced chai, great bacon and egg rolls, home-made pies, cakes, coffee, milkshakes etc. Such a hidden treat to fuel you up until the next stop. Large parking area to drive in and turn with a boat/trailer/caravan.
