The Olde General Store

Best Known For

Gourmet toasties and homemade soups, freshly prepared for a comforting and satisfying café dining experience.

Step through the doors of The Olde General Store on Parker Street in Cootamundra and feel time slow gracefully to a stop. Housed in one of the town's oldest buildings, established in 1861, this enchanting café, tearoom and general store is a heartfelt celebration of simpler times, cherished memories and the enduring joy of handmade things. Lace tablecloths, fine china, locally sourced Riverina produce, artisan breads baked fresh daily and the gentle music of a bygone era create an atmosphere as warm and nourishing as the home-cooked meals served here. Inspired by lunches at Gran's house, handwritten recipe books and afternoons spent watching pikelets being baked after school, The Olde General Store carries those cherished traditions forward with genuine love and care.
