What a gorgeous hidden gem! Overlooking the river in the stunning village of Tumbulgum. Have just enjoyed a very tasty chicken avo and cheese toastie washed down by a great hot choccie. It's set in the grounds of the Church and it's dog friendly (there's plenty of seating and a lovely lawn). I was tempted by the baked goodies but will save them for next visit!

A quick detour in to Tumbulgum and we discovered the @Blondebaker. We had a latte, double shot Macchiato and the coconut raspberry slice. The coffee was brilliant and OMG the slice was sensational, five stars from me
