What a great place to stop along any A1 trip. We needed public toilets which are close by and found Chatsworth General Store. We enjoyed toasted sandwiches as other guests enjoyed bacon and egg rolls. Coffee looked good too. The atmosphere and service were real stand outs. Our dog enjoyed the attention outside.

A lovely place to have lunch in a quiet little spot only a few minutes off the highway. We enjoyed the milkshakes, hot chips, the kofta wrap and chicken caesar wrap. Lovely baked treats too. Generous serving sizes and wonderful friendly service, proper country hospitality. There are public toilets a couple of doors down, at the old church, and benches overlooking the river across the road if you prefer to eat outdoors. Don't forget to check out the garden gnome village and thong tree.

Absolutey stunning experience. Very Cheap and I was shocked about the quantity of the chips in just $6.50 Location ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Owner of the cafe was very friendly. We were over the moon that we got a chance to visit Charsworth and ofcourse this cafe too. I would definitely come again while I go to Coffs Harbour or Sydney by road in future.

Delightful stop just off the highway. Delicious coffee and great friendly service. Wish we hadn’t already had our breakfast as the food looked great. Have saved as a favourite for future travel.

Dropped into this slightly off the beaten track Cafe for an early arvo coffee and look at the village. An interesting place and I need to find out more about the "tree of thongs" whilst the "tree of knowledge" was quite amusing. If you are in the Clarence River region drop in.

We enjoyed a delicious cooked breakfast and smoothie. The service was prompt and very professional. The food and drink were the best we'd had in a long time. We even went back for the yummy cakes! Highly recommend a stop here on your next road trip.
