This is a compact little cafe within the museum serving breakfast and lunches. Coffee is great and the cakes are all home made and delicious. A great place for a light meal.

Ignoring the oh-so-tempting homemade slices, we opted for "the big breakfast" - and it was! Two eggs (any way you like), more rashes of bacon than we could handle, two tomatos, a local beef sausage, baked beans and two slices of toast with butter. Great value (for Lord Howe) at $18.50.

The food is nice, and interesting venue in the museum which is worth a visit. We had lunch here twice in a week.

We stayed at Leanda Lei for a week and each day, as part of our travel package, we had breakfast at the Coral Cafe. Each morning, we were greeted by a beautiful smile from Stephen as we arrived. Stephen would cook up bacon, eggs, baked beans, etc ready for us to eat when we arrived. We were never offered the... More

There's not many places where you can find the museum curator running around in bare feet, fixing internet connections after a subtropical down pour one minute, introducing an audio visual display to a group of visitors or chatting with visiting scientists over morning coffee the next but this is one of them. Coral Cafe is nestled in the Tourist Information... More

The museum is a must for the history buffs, the cafe is best for a cuppa and homemade slices. The lunch menu is not spectacular, simple wraps and sandwiches and the staff are pleasant.

After a walk to the museum and then over Transit Hill, the lunch stop at the museum was relaxing, and very enjoyable. Toasted sandwitches and a drink on the verandah - quality food and friendly service.
