Pioneer Cafe has the best coffee and a cracking selection of freshly cooked food! Friendly, organised and I always feel welcome. This being my 3rd visit, I thought I owed it to them to write a review as they deserve to be noticed and those that visit frequently, should show their appreciation too. Until next time guys!

Ordered minimum chips of $3. They were pretty busy selling chicken and chip packs. Chips were perfect, right amount of chicken salt. Decent size. Will go there to try the rest of their menu.
