Local produce, local produce, sustainable local produce...doesn't anyone import anything nasty anymore? But seriously, this cafe (yes, it's an old bank) serves excellent coffee, cakes, pastries and artful breakfasts and lunches, best consumed on the deck beneath huge old cherry-blossom trees. Possum-pelt seat backs and mounted stags' heads conjure a hunting-lodge vibe inside. The chicken burger rules.
