Harvest Cafe & Store

We visited Harvest Cafe & Store for Sunday breakfast. The place has a nice atmosphere, and the outdoor area is great , we were even able to watch a cricket match while sitting there, which made the setting enjoyable. We ordered Eggs Benedict with bacon and calamari with chips. The coffee arrived quickly (around 5 minutes), which was great. However, the food took about 45 minutes to come to our table. While we understand weekends can be busy, the waiting time was quite long for two breakfast dishes. The place itself is good and has a nice vibe, but the delay in serving food made the experience a bit disappointing. With improved service timing, it would be a much better overall experience.

We stopped in at Harvest Cafe & Store, located in the Bathurst Visitor Centre complex, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Parking was super easy, and we loved that there were both indoor and outdoor seating options – perfect for any weather. We grabbed a coffee and one of the local soft drinks that the western region is known for – such a great way to get a taste of the area. For lunch, we both had the steak sandwich, which was absolutely delicious and came with crispy, golden fries that were packed with flavour. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the service was quick without feeling rushed. The attached store is also well worth a look – it’s stocked with a lovely range of local produce, from jams and chutneys to honey, oils, and more of those signature soft drinks. Whether you’re just passing through or spending some time in Bathurst, Harvest Cafe is a must-visit for a great bite to eat and a real taste of the region.

I had breakfast with five others here last Sunday. This place is connected to the information centre right on the road through town and onto Sydney from Orange, located on a park, which is a huge draw for parents with children or pet owners. The coffee is strong but not bitter. As you can see from the menu shown, the eggs come in at a reasonable price. Bacon cold on this occasion 😕. On convenience alone, I would come here again.

Great location on the highway. If your in the area and love a nice meal or coffee this is a good spot. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and served us a Chicken and Bacon pie. It was hot. A very nice blend of pastry with Creamy chicken and bacon flavour. Very delicious and tasty. Thank you so much Jess and your friendly staff

So we have been here before and enjoyed it for the most part of each visit! Today, however wasn't the best experience! While I understand staff may be a little slower due to being in training or their first time in the role, service wasn't that good today! I had to repeat my order 4 times and it still didn't come as ordered! Coffee came out and it was lukewarm at best. Then the food came, I asked for fried eggs sunny side up and they came out well done with no sign of soft yolk. In fact they looked like had been cooked on/in a pan/hot plate that hadn't been cleaned for a while! It was the same with the grilled chicken on our other meal. I only ate 1 & 1/2 of the eggs because I was starving! Although this review seems negative, we enjoyed the space and fresh air seating and will come back to give it another shot.

Charge your EV since food takes at least 40 mins. Beverages come out really quick so make it last while you wait. Not really happy about surcharges, especially when prices are above average already. Captive audience, I guess, because of the information centre co-location and charging stations. Too far to walk to anywhere else.

Great service, amazing food and a great view. We were driving through and found this amazing spot. Parking was tricky but once in, you can order food from your table with ease. We sat outside and watched the cockatoos play in the trees right in front of us. Food is swift and delicious. Certainly worth a visit when in Bathurst!
