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.

Visited the Oaklands Farm and Cafe with my partner and we had a fantastic time. We got the Rubens vegan toastie and the sausage roll and salad from the cafe. The food was exceptional! We also had beers from the brewery, the staff were lovely, gave us a taste test of what they had on tap so we could definitely get something we liked! The cafe owner is so lovely, so vibrant and full of energy. She has created a beautiful menu and space. We also had a lovely time looking through the shops they had, full of gifts and things around the home, we bought a few things as the prices were fantastic. We got farm fresh honey for $7.50 I couldn't believe it. 100% would recommend visiting this place. Such a beautiful farm.

My husband and I ate lunch at Oaklands Cafe three times during the week that we were holidaying on the Saphire Coast. Between us we ate eight different dishes and would enthusiastically recommend each one. The range of drinks is impressive and each one we tried was delicious. The staff were pleasant as was the environment. We will remember this place for next time.

What an amazing experience!!!! After being seated in the outdoor area as we had our 2 large dogs with us, the cafe owner, whose name we did not get, greeted us and our pups with open arms. We ordered our morning tea and the owner brought out some tasty snacks and water for the pups. The food was delish and the Scottish Breakfast tea was lovely, hot and strong. The owner took pics of our dogs for her doggie wall. Overall this was a highlight of our time in the Merimbula/Pambula area. Cannot recommend this cafe enough!!! Brett, Sharon, Remmi and Ouzo

This cafe is in a most charismatic building, in delightful surrounds. The food was very good, with lots of tasty and interesting options on the blackboard specials menu. Portions were generous and prices quite reasonable. The service was not very friendly - more of the ‘efficient but no-frills’ variety and (masks notwithstanding) smiling eyes and happy voices were in short supply.

This place is fantastic for food, something to do and even a bit of gift shopping. We came here for lunch and the customer service was incredible. The special board has a large variety - the menu itself is quite quirky and cates for many diets. The meals fill you up and you don’t leave hungry! There is also a nursery and giftware shop to browse through, and a barnyard with farm animals to view and give pats to! The venue itself is just stunning to look at, well designed and well built. There is also a brewery available to eat and drink at. Heaps of parking spots as well. Kids can go for pony rides too for $5. I didn’t want to leave! Great day for families, friends and couples for sure.

This place is a real treat. Everything we had was delicious. The lamb kofta, stuffed mushrooms, pie and blue cheese panacotta, plus special black cherry & star anise drink. All delicious. The service was the best I have experienced in a very long time. Our grandchild children loved their special choc frog treat as part of their kids meal. There is so much to see here. They also loved the pet barn, horses and cricket that we played with an invisible ball. The art gallery was special with beautiful pieces for sale. We will definitely return.

Whilst staying in Eden recently, we chose to drive to Pambula and have lunch at Oaklands. On the day we were there, it was very busy, but we were able to find an inside table. Your order is taken at the table and the meals we chose were delivered to us in a prompt manner. We also enjoyed iced coffees, which we had with our meal. There are some interesting decorator shops and a nursery in the complex, along with toilet facilities.

Attended for breakfast enjoying muesli with greek yoghurt, fruit compote and honey with Wild Rye sourdough vegemite toast. My partner had the fruit toast and tea. Good quality all round. The cafe quickly filled up with locals and visitors. Easy to access by car. Combined with an art gallery and nursery.

Having walked from Merimbula, we were in need of sustenance, and we were not disappointed. Very generous serves of Sticky Date Cake with ice cream (decadent for morning tea) and Spicy Rhubarb Cake. Washed down with pots of tea. This place is crazy busy (for good reason) - I recommend you book, especially for lunch.

The best cooked breakfast I have had, bar none. As an Englishman, I’m no stranger to a cooked breakfast. But I have never had a better one. The bacon and mushrooms, in particular, were very tasty. Everything tasted very fresh and it was piping hot, thanks to the great serving staff. The kids really enjoyed their American pancakes; a filling breakfast which was tastier and fresher than most breakfast pancakes I have experienced without being sickly sweet. We will be going again!

I often come here and it was only after hearing the man at the next (socially distanced) table say he was going to write a review of his exceptional lunch that I too thought of it. What I love about Oaklands is the consistency of the food served - there’s nothing on the menu that is not totally delicious- fresh, healthy and amazing. When I ordered today I said they could really serve me anything on the menu and it would be perfect. The menu is so diverse, even the fussiest eater would have to be pleased! I love the unpretentious of Oaklands and it’s casual vibe. It’s always such a wonderful experience!

Really great service, great food and atmosphere. Gluten free options available - highly recommend. Arrived here for breakfast and the waitress arranged everything, she interacted with the kids and was really attentive to our dietary requirements (we have many). Food was great and serving sizes were ample. Would certainly return!

We had a late breakfast at the Oaklands cafe and it was great. There’s something for everyone such as “normal” bacon and eggs and pancakes etc. but also typical Spanish and Greek dishes. It all tasted great and was ver fresh (try the “Spanish eggs for breakfast, it’s awesome!). The service is great too, everyone is very friendly and helpful; When our youngest couldn’t finish his chocolate milk they offered to put it in a take away cup (dad is forever thankful as the smell of chocolate milk in the car will be there for years to come ;-) ). Great place in beautiful setting with great food. A must visit in my opinion!

We came here for lunch mid-week. The menu was quite varied, the food was delicious, and the surroundings are nice and pleasant. I ordered the stuffed mushrooms which were excellent, the inclusion of macadamia nuts really made it a unique and delicious meal.

Great comfort food! Came back (2nd day in a row!) had the pancakes with yoghurt; almonds; rhubarb and syrup. Tastebuds went to heaven and the organic coffee is so smooth. As Molly says ; do yourself a favour & check it out. A little pricey but this is a tourist town. Food is quality and well presented. Waiters are attentive. 8.5/10.
