Green Head Gallery Cafe

Oh so happy we came across this Cafe on our walk this morning. It's so lovely - a house that has converted to a Cafe, so there's a real cottage 'homey' feel with a beautiful garden and veranda with seating all about. As it's a hot, blustery day - Rog and I happy to go inside with the air-conditioning. Doing this, love the styling here too, feel like we've stepped into the kitchen, dining area with lots of lovely baked goods sitting about - freshly cooked. The 1st thing the lovely young girl, serving inside does is apologise for the elderly golden retriever dog lying on the floor near the counter. Apparently they don't normally let her (dog) inside during Cafe hours - but she's persistent on the warmer days as she's after the air-conditioning too. We're happy to truthfully say we don't mind, as she's just lying there being very quiet and good. On obviously liking the dog - as Roger has gone over to pat her, the girl explains she's a true 'rescue dog' - a family member found her while overseas (South Korea) in a 'dog shop' waiting to go on the menu. So long story short - they got her on a plane back to Australia for 'Mum' to pick up and look after. Well she's an elderly dog now living her best pampered life that's for sure.
Roger orders a mug of cappuccino and a custard pastry, I go for a tea, lemon and ginger, and can't resist the amazing looking custard pastry either. Mmmmm - so good, 'magnificent' in Roger's words to the older lady who does the baking here.
While we're relaxing here, we make the decision we'll check out the caravan park - we saw their sign "4 nights for price of 3" - and if we're happy with the deal we'll stay in Green Head.
On finishing here, we continue our walk, via the caravan park for enquiry, back to our ute and van.Read more
