Wow what an experience! First Impressions; Greeted by an absolutely gorgeous silver fox (the man in charge) who met my personal 'breadline' easy as pie. The front of house staff also did a plum job! It meant a 'latte' me to walk in and see big happy grins staring me back. Anyways lets 'taco' bout how delicous the food is. Started with the chips which were 'berry' delicous but then they had me 'wonton' more. Decided to get a Ham, Cheese and Honey Mustard Toastie and could not 'brielieve' how good it was safe to say toasties dont get much 'feta' than this. Definetely worth checking out if you visit the shoalhaven area, definetely has a 'pizza' my heart ;)

The cafe classic ham and cheese toastie was firstly the best I have had since forever. Good bread, very good bread. The ham is tasty and good quality plus the cheese and honey mustard were layered just enough. If you can’t get this right you’re probably not a cafe to visit! The service was great - the staff they were friendly - especially after a long drive down on a summers day it is quintessential to be greeted with smiles and humor and that’s a plus if it’s in hospitality. The flat bread was warm and had a chew perfect with the house hummus. The tomatoes salad - the bed of cheese was a lot more generous that I had expected however the produce is fresh for both heirlooms and blood oranges. I enjoyed the seating, and the atmosphere it was modern and comfortable. Indoors was pleasant due to the aircon! Outdoors was lovely if you wanted to stay outside had a lovely view of the building and houses. Overall lovely cafe and coffee. Price wise was much more generous than that in the cities.

But you were fortunate to spend the day at the Arthur Boyd Bundanon art museum and managed to grab lunch while we’re there. Photos I did the food justice as it was incredibly fresh and great produce great coeliac options as well.

This is magic spot..beautiful views. And most importantly fabulous food. I had the chicken which was cooked perfectly, my partner had the snapper and we had all three sides. The star of which was cauliflower and chickpeas in a stunning curry leaf broth. The food here is v much made with care, detail and love. And a good wine list too. V few people have found this spot so far. I can't see it staying hidden for much longer given the quality of this kitchen. Can't wait to return.

I'll never forget the meals here. So delicious, so well crafted, so well executed and designed that its as great as the life changing arr exhibition we enjoyed inside. I chastised myself for not specifying that I'd like the cheese and Kim chi toastie to be heavy on the Korean condiment, and light on the cheese...you know, usually you'll get a lava ooze of cheap cheese overwhelming a waft of Kim chi, barely discernible. Not so here. The balance was perfect and the deftly made ricotta (?) only used to bring the fermented wonder in balance. The tomato salad a triumph, except for the tomatoes, sadly losing the battle with refrigeration..a place they should never be. All the other dishes shone like a full moon on calm seas. The coffee too was enough to make this bondi coffee snob wish the team would relocate to my hood. Start your visit with a meal here and linger over the art and surrounds long enough for a second round. At these very reasonable prices, it's the best you'll do for many km.

Love Ramox. We go there regularly and it is just delightful. The outlook is so peaceful, and the menu is creative and very very tasty. And the coffee is excellent. Our favourites are probably the dhal, the kimchi cheese toastie, the ragu…actually the favourites list is quite long.
