A group of family and friends met here for lunch and birthday celebrations. Unfortunately the table which we had booked was taken by another group, but after some waiting, the staff set up a table for us. The cafe itself is located in a lovely location surrounded by a few other little gift/art stores which adds to the atmosphere. It... More

Been going here for a few years. The food is always very good, but it is rather pricey. Expect to pay $20+ for a meal. Decent portion size, doesn't really cater for kids on the menu. If you have children bring something for them to do - there is a large grassy area, but no distractions provided. Bring a hat... More

Just 15 minutes from Toowoomba on the New England Highway located at the charming village of Highfields is this little gem. A rustic style cottage with the option to dime inside, on the verandah or enjoy the outdoor village green area . Order from an extensive menu from light to gourmet meals and mouthwatering desserts. Browse the inside cafe for... More

The Chocolate Cottage is a great destination if you have visitors - the setting has nice views and the deli shop invites you to browse. Also, the food is very good, but portions are a tad bit too small and quite pricey considering it is a cafe only (even at lunch time). Expect to spend $30 per person. I would... More

Waited 45 minutes for mains, was offered dessert first. Waited another half hour, dessert never came. Asked for a refund for dessert, manager overheard, instructed girl at register to "give them a refund" that's it. No apology from him, no acknowledgement. Burger was nice. That's it.

Lovely views over looking the valley but over all a bit pricey for what you get. Had eggs Benny, very adverage, iced chocolate came with no under saucer or serviette & cream whet all over everything. Best friend told me to stop and get some hand made chocolates but could only see pre made items. Not in a hurry to... More

I love the views and the setting, looking out across the valley. The service here is always a little slow and not so friendly, I think because it is always so busy. The food is always excellent though. Not cheap.

Been here a few times and love the atmosphere! Food variety isn't a lot and sometimes they are quite inconsistent. Sit outside and soak in the sunshine, but remember yr sunscreen n look out for the birds attacking leftover food by customers who have left!

Met friends for lunch. The service was good and the food great. Only problem - our group sat outside and we were unable to avoid the harsh sun. The outdoor umbrella could not be moved so half the guests had to dine in the sun
