Crispy chicken, crunchy bacon, fresh freshly juicy salad, drizzled with hollandaise. It's a burger dream come true at the Old Railway Cafe. Washed down with a cold iced coffee. It hits the spot everytime. See less

First time visit from interstate. Coffee was quite disappointing; I threw it away. I'm sure my experience is not typical, judging by other reviews. See less

On the good side the coffee was good. On the negative side the only way of signing in was by QR code (which I don't have an app for) they seemed unconcerned collecting people's info. There was no wiping down of tables at any time I was having my coffee while people came and went. Nasty! The cafe covid forgot! See less

Their Conductor's Breakfast is their largest meal on the menu and for under $20, it's definitely worth it. They're situated amongst a dead spot in the city, majority of 2 block area is apartments, offices and, of course, the old railway station. The hours are a definitely inconvenient for average working joe; closed weekends, open weekdays 6am - 3pm. But it's due to their outdoor setting. This has more of a deluxe food truck vibe. Tables are outside, and undercover and their whole business kitchen is set up in a small alcove that would otherwise be enough to fit one meeting room. You might worry about the heat during summer time, but I've always found a slight breeze enough to keep me cool everytime I visit. I, however, do understand this might become a problem for those who run a lot hotter than I do. Their counter top displays show a small variety of deserts and cold/microwavable meals, with bang for your buck portions...I should've taken a photo of that slice of lasagne. If you have the time to visit for a meal or coffee, I highly recommend it. Otherwise, I understand if you can't, you're just missing out :P See less

The service was great, the coffee excellent and the food outstanding. I had the avocado smash on toasted Turkish bread (instead of the bagel) with bacon and sauteed herbed mushrooms. I'm not sure what herbs are used with the mushrooms, but they really enhanced the flavour. The eggs were beautifully poached with plenty of yolky goodness! The chef is happy to substitute or modify the dish to your liking. and the 'older' staff also make it a refreshing change from young, inexperienced teenagers. The rapport with regular customers was clearly evident. All the ingredients are there: good location, nicely presented, quaintly styled cafe, and great food, coffee and service. See less
