The Braidwood café attached to Gallery Altenburg on the main street through Braidwood has always been a good spot to stop for a coffee on the way to the coast.

It has a gorgeous garden setting, homely service and food and there’s the opportunity to browse the lovely gallery while your order is being prepared.

Coffee is good and there are always delicious home-made cakes and slices at a good value price.

However, it’s also worth considering the well priced interesting brunch and lunch options.
