Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Fresh sandwiches packed with goodness. Great coffee and heavenly cheesecake. But why is it closed so often? Why the unreliability?

Hubby and I stopped at this lovely quaint cafe in Bulahbelah on our way north for some breakfast. I have to say we were pleasantly surprised. Scrambled eggs on toast and muesli and coffees went down a treat. The ladies who run this cafe were...very friendly and welcoming. They had lots of nice looking treats for morning tea if you’re interested. Well worth a visit.More

We have stopped here regularly for lunch on our way north over a number of years and have never been disappointed. Their sandwiches are delicious, with really fresh bread and generous and tasty fillings and there is a very good range of yummy home made...cakes. Coffee is good, prices very reasonable and service pleasant and friendly.More

Stopped here for a quick bite to eat on our way north, takeaway only as after 2pm but we were welcome to sit at the outdoor tables. Lovely fresh sandwiches made to order, good coffee and a selection of delicious home made cakes. Very convenient,...easy street parking on the day we visited, and what a pleasant change to be able to buy a simple, fresh and healthy sandwich while road tripping. Thank you!More

We stopped for breakfast at Cafe on Main. The place was very busy, the staff were welcoming and friendly. We gave them our order and sat outside at the tables provided. It wasn’t long before our coffees and then our food arrived. The coffee was...awesome and the meals were big. I had bacon, eggs and tomato on toast while my husband had sausages instead of bacon. It was very tasty and great value at $13.50. It was nice to get a small container of strawberry jam to have with the toast at the end of the meal.More

I pulled off the highway for a look at the town. Great 'Visitor Information Centre' was followed by this lovely family business. Walking the street I passed someone having breakfast and decided to order for myself. I was not disappointed. Friendly staff, quick service and...an very nice meal for what I thought was a most reasonable price.More

Thanks for the review, it’s so nice to hear you enjoyed our food and service. ☺️ Our little town has a lot to offer. Next time you’ll have to go next door and take some sausages home from our amazing butcher!

Coffee time on the way home, and we decided to try Cafe on Main for a change - we've used others in the past, and hadn't noticed this one. The coffee was fine, the seating was a little rudimentary, but the cheerful, positive attitude of...every member of the cafe's staff was a joy to behold. It will be a pleasure to return next time we're passing through Buladelah.More

Excellent spot to stop on travels when leaving Sydney. Great little cafe in a beautiful little town on the river. Coffee was excellent and the staff really friendly. Town has lots of parks and a great play area for children and clean public toilets.

Stopped for a quick lunch on a drive from Sydney to Port Macquarie. Limited menu - basically sandwiches and burgers. We ordered burgers and they were very nice. Staff were friendly and welcoming
