I've been driving past this cafe for months on my weekly trek to Canberra. "It's only another 50 minutes, I can wait before stopping", I thought. Wrong. The Chubby Cat Cafe is the small town 90s nostalgia kick that i didnt realise my soul needed. Amazingly fresh food, top tier coffee, themed decor that doesn't go over the top and awesomely friendly staff. This cafe has rapidly become the highlight of my 2.5 hour weekly drive to the office.

The food is freshly cooked and baked by the owner. It all looks delicious. We had the apple slice and cheesecake. Both highly recommended. Everyone in our large group enjoyed their food and coffee.

We stopped in for a bite to eat. My friend loved the blue berry muffin, was fresh out of the over, she raved saying it was the best she has ever had. I tried an egg and bacon roll because my friend was saying how fresh her muffin was. When I tell you the best egg and bacon roll I mean it. The bread was super soft it was clearly baked on the premises. Highly recommend this cafe!

Thanks so much guys for staying open after hours to feed us cyclists riding the Prologue 500km out of Canberra on the long weekend, it really was appreciated with us being able to refuel before riding off into the night. Thankyou from us all Anne and staff !!! The burger was delicious.

Outstanding! Really good! Fast home cooked food at reasonable prices. Had the bacon and egg roll with all the trimmings, an iced coffee and my partner had the chicken wrap. Everything was fresh and tasty and generously sized. A triumph.

The sausage roll was very delicious - tasty pastry and the meat was very flavoursome! Chuckle cky chicken pie clearly contained real chicken and was very yummy. Best sausage roll I have ever had!
