Friendly team, long waits when busy, coffee is nice. The people are really lovely and there’s a nice setting on the railway.

What a hidden treasure! The volunteer-run café at the old Stanthorpe train station - Artworks cafe - is a warm and welcoming spot that truly captures the spirit of the community. From the moment we arrived, the friendly volunteers made us feel right at home — their genuine hospitality was just as heartwarming as the coffee. The food was absolutely fantastic — fresh, and full of flavour. Whether it was the perfectly baked scones, hearty breakfast, or delicious milkshakes, everything tasted like it was made with love. The service was quick, kind, and full of smiles, making the whole experience feel extra special. Set against the charm of the historic station, this café is a must-visit. A huge thank you to the dedicated volunteers who make it all possible — your efforts truly shine!

Such a wonderful experience. The heratige gardens on the side are so beautiful and well cared for. The art works are in the heratige Stanthorpe railway station. The art is done locally and was very impressive. The cafe was quaint and the staff were very friendly. Highly recommended a visit
