The Broadway Cockatoo Cafe
Proprietors: Anna, Phillip, & Katherine Ashton
The Broadway Cockatoo CafeThe Broadway Cockatoo Cafe in Dunolly operates out of a building that has had a long history of being a food establishment, starting in 1860 as a bakery. One of the more interesting characters and a long standing resident was Ms Nora Thompson who ran it as a Tea and Coffee house for many years. there are still locals who have childhood memories of milking the cows and churning the home made ice cream after school.
Interior views of the Cockatoo Cafe
The Broadway cockatoo cafe opened in 1993 which was 133 years after the building was established. We initially wanted to address a strong yearning for good coffee out here away from the city. It was nowhere to be found, so what to do, open a cafe, the idea was well accepted and now 4 years on we offer a welcoming environment in which you can get great food, local wine and of course COFFEE!! Another feature that has evolved is that the cafe has become a venue for music nights featuring local artists as well as community and private functions.
Since opening four years ago the cafe has earned a reputation for the quality of the home made pastas, home made ice cream (with not quite as much work as Nora's took) the use of local wines, entertainment and generally the atmosphere generated by everyone involved.
