Beautiful, convenient drive through or dine in cafe in Strath! Just the best service and lovely coffee, they always have fresh food ready to go or take the opportunity to sit down and have a well cooked meal.! (The best sausage rolls too)

My friends and I love to catch up at least once a week and Wistow is our fav place. Coffee is always awesome and great service. The place is a good vibe and Annie definitely makes it even better. Thank you for helping with my coffee addiction!

The convenience of the drive-thru coffee is so helpful for me, when I am busy and have kids in the car. Super quick service, great coffee, and welcoming happy faces on every visit. Love this place!

A pleasant and welcome addition to the Strathalbyn cafe scene. I very much enjoyed my first visit to this cafe/drive through that opened about 4 weeks ago on High Street with seating indoors and out. They offer a good selection of hot and cold foods - including delicious cakes - and great coffee with a biscuit on the side. It's still a bit of a work in progress in some areas but that does not deter from the enjoyable experience of being served by friendly and accommodating staff in a comfortable setting.

Delicious food, Devine coffee and super friendly staff who go above and beyond to make sure you are happy! The drive through is a massive bonus too - but chilling on the verandah is the ultimate!!

Every time I walk into the cafe, it feels like home. Everyone is super welcoming and hearing Annie’s beautiful singing while I sit for a coffee with my children, is one of my welcomed (almost daily ) routines. It’s the ‘pick me up’ needed before (and after) a big week. Thanks so much Kelly and Darren, you’ve made us feel so welcomed
