Popped into this Cafe 3 times while in Parkes visiting my parents.Wow, never experienced a cafe like this!Firstly the beautiful owner offers 10 free meals a day to those who are struggling!! Watched the owner help an elderly man into his seat and fuss over him, it was so beautiful to watch her genuine, kind interaction!The young boy working there was amazing! So friendly and great at his job! Great coffee and ice coffees! The meals Wow! Had battered fish, chips, and salad! The fish was what I expected from an inland cafe. The salad was beyond amazing, and it even included asparagus!! 13 for a meal far too big to finish!! Highly recommend stopping by this little gem! Oh, and open when the rest of the town was closed!!

Had the Big brekky for 14 and also the salmon eggs Benedict with hot choc and mocha. Delicious food, came pretty quick on a busy Sunday morning. Quirky old school style diner, comfy tables and chairs. Staff friendly and attentive. Outside seating as well. Overall great food at good prices . …

Had a birthday lunch at the Paragon on Sunsay, and it was absolutely fantastic. Hubby had a mixed grill, that stood about 3" high, and I had grilled fish, yummy! Salad included everything you could wish for and the chips were just cooked to perfection. The staff were magnificent and I will be definitely going for another meal next month for another special meal. Yummy.

We had breakfast on a Sunday morning. Three of us. The food was really good. The owner was just fantastic. Made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. It was genuine hospitality and a great sense of humour without being intrusive. She is a marvel. Great experience. Pity we live so far away.

Affordable and wholesome good old-fashioned tucker. You know its good value when older members of the community & families fill the seats.

What a place. There is a place called Paragon Cafe in Goulburn and that is one of the best places, and this place is pretty darn good too. I wanted to eat here because I saw in the window they give 10 free meals per week to the needy, which I think is just absolutely awesome. More businesses should do this. The sandwiches are great and they do a pretty good milkshake too. If I could change one thing it would be the electronic music, it was a bit much for me but didn’t ruin my meal.
