When passing through Johns River on the Pacific Highway, stop and revive with a bite to eat at Rosie’s Café as locals mingle over brunch. Accommodating almost any occasion, Rosie’s Café combines a warm dining space for enjoying drinks and snacks with a gallery displaying homewares for purchase and local artwork, as well as an open-air performance area for local events and large-group catering. This charming country cafe also boasts a kitchen garden growing entirely chemical and pesticide free produce used in some dishes, and fertilised by compost made from the café’s food wastage. Stay awhile and devour a chicken schnitzel burger with fresh garden salad, garlic aioli and chips before treating yourself to a slice of housemade cake and a Holy Goat coffee to keep eyes open on the road.
