Sitting in picturesque surrounds near Bathurst, linger-worthy local The O’Connell Avenue Café & Store is the place to stop for a coffee and home-baked treat. This more than 100-year-old former butcher shop on O’Connell Road has a huge outdoor space with market umbrellas and fireplace, while indoors oozes rustic charm with worn brick, rich terracotta and pale-yellow walls, creating an earthy ambience. Leisurely breakfast plates include a buttermilk pancake stack with seasonal fruit, or bacon and egg roll, rocket and tomato relish; while lunch-goers opt for bruschetta with Roma tomatoes, onion, balsamic and pesto. Those with a healthy eye, may choose Greek Salad My Way – olives, feta, cucumber, tomato, onion, spinach and chicken - for a sweet finish, choose a freshly baked muffin or slice.
