An unexpected find in a little country town, this chipper wholefoods cafe serves excellent homemade soups, burgers, pasties, vegetarian wraps, fabulous coffee, cakes and slices. There are also vats of nuts, chocolates and spices, and a DIY peanut butter grinder. You'll regret it forever if you don't try the rhubarb cake.
