The Station Cafe - Atherton

This is a fantastic place, beautifully decorated with fairy lights, flowers even crocheted blankets The staff are so friendly happy and thoughtful and the food… awesome

Off the main drag and tucked away. A small oasis for a hungry traveller and local alike. Delicious coffee and food AND all the cakes and pastries are made on-site (not bought frozen like so many cafes now). You can taste the difference. Wonderful staff. Dogs welcome too. And it's definitely worth a walk along the railway track to the bird hide and back (6.2km) to work up an appetite for cake!

When you have a dedicated crew who can make really good coffee AND you have home made food to add to that…. You are on a winner! Well done Clare and crew!

Located next to the Platypus Park and close to the CHinese Temple so I recommend visiting all three when you are in the area. I loved the repurposing of the train into seats within the carriages as well as the seating on the platforms, all the bright colours and plants. I had the carrot cake and hot chocolate, which were delicious.

My husband and I and our great friend Payam from Sydney enjoyed a day out in the Atherton tablelands. A great day all round and the Station Cafe was a real highlight. A fantastic rail and garden themed location, scummy vegetarian food, and warm friendly service. And hats off to the waiter she very kindly took our tourist pix thank you for a really nice experience.
