Vanilla
32 Main StBest heart attack breakfast in town! Great coffee
There were 8 of all together and we tried a variety of pizzas. Each and every one were excellent..and great value. I loved the quirky setting of the restaurant ( about 20 mis from Lithgow) the smell of wood smoke on entering and the friendliness of the staff. Basic wooden benches tables and chairs add to the atmosphere ...give it a try!
