Great setup inside and out. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Most importantly, the coffee was excellent—hot, well made, and spot on for a range of orders (chai, lactose free, long black etc). No complaints from the group. Highly recommended??

Brady, Renee and their lovely staff catered for our wedding in Dargo on Saturday 22/3/25. They catered spit roast beef and lamb, salads, baked spuds, desserts and also nuggets, fish and chips for the kids. They were more than happy to cater for all the dietary needs that we requested. The food was an absolute hit, full of flavour, presented well and everyone loved every single bit of it and our guests continued to talk the next day about how wonderful the food was. There was more than plenty to go around, enough for seconds or thirds. The service, friendly staff and communication was outstanding, and the was pricing was also really good. We highly recommend Tradies Cafe to anyone wishing to have their event catered for. Well done guys, awesome job and thank you for for making our day extra special with your delicious food and outstanding service Tam & Dave
