Fronts directly on to the pavement with just a couple of tables and nowhere really to leave a bike. Maybe ok if there's a couple of you, so one can look after the bikes while the other goes in, but solo riders or larger groups would be better somewhere else.

On a busy main road and with obscure access. Not the best option.

Espresso for your overnight Dun Run needs. Also sells Cannoli, 2023 cannoli were good... but 2024 ones weren't great :) Stop here for coffee though!

Open for the Dunwich Dynamo, with 2024 being another record year for them. over 30kg of bananas, 350 eggs and 1000 coffees sold to riders that night. One of my fave stops on the way to Dunwich.
