Stopped for a coffee on way through Coolamon. Seriously good coffee. Very prompt service despite it being lunch time in Father's Day.

This darling little cafe is situated on the end of the train platform where access is easy if you are limited mobility - accessing straight from vehicle parking outside with no steps to navigate. The staff are so super friendly and the cafe style food is fresh, simple and tasty. You won’t be disappointed at all stopping here for a bite to eat or a quick cuppa, especially if you are after a relaxing and friendly vibe!!

This is such a unique experience right beside the railway track. It is exceptionally friendly as soon as you enter even when they may be flat out, you are noticed upon entering. Food is amazing, love this place

This hidden gem proves that the best fare in Coolamon is not necessarily in the main street. Got a local tip to try this new cafe, which was established in late 2020 and is located in the historic Coolamon Railway Station building next to the Lions Park, on the south side (Wagga Wagga side) of the railway crossing (turn into Wade Street at the roundabout). Customers can choose to enjoy their meals in the sun in the alfresco area located on the actual station platform, which provides unique views along the railway and to the silos. Alternatively, there is indoor seating where the ambience could be described as a cozy "hygge" vibe. An extensive variety of indoor plants, charming pots and giftware for the home are also available for sale in the adjoining rooms. The owners and staff are lovely and enthusiastic, the coffee is superb and presented well, and the meals are delicious. Overall, our unplanned visit was a great experience and recommended for anyone staying in Coolamon, visiting for the day, or making a coffee stop on the way through town. Currently trading Fri-Sun, this cafe is well worth seeking out.

What to do when visiting Coolamon? Head straight to the Station collective. The people running this cafe are super friendly. Once you have ordered your food and beverage, head outside where one can sit on the table by the side of the platform and have their meals. It's such a great idea and amazing Instragammable views. Don't be fooled that this station is no longer used. Passenger and freight trains still pass by from time to time. The shashuka was perfectly cooked and tasted amazing. Dip in the bread served and be prepared to the brought to another level of enjoyment! This establishment is a must visit place if you like taking nice pictures and enjoying a peaceful cup of coffee. Amazing!!

OMG!!!! The best cafe in the WORLD. Like golden gaytime waffles and Korean steak burger were one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten. Annalise

Best coffee we’ve been served, over the past 9 days of travel. Excellent!! Fabulous little spot, run by a local woman, who’s passionate about what she’s doing. Yummy locally made produce… we bought to take away.

A lively cafe for a small town, right by the railway. The coffee and cakes were good, and it was nice to see kids' options like Coco Pops. The only downside was that the train never arrived!
