Yum Yum! A nice little gem with classy food for a regional town. A unique take on the bacon egg roll with a 'special sauce', comes with cheese that must be melted on the hotplate with the bacon and a fancy artesian style roll. Tasty coffee too. $21+ for large mocha and bacon egg roll, reasonable in today's climate. Nice seating area inside and loads of outside dining space. Must have been an old servo once upon a time.

The delicious food, friendly service and warm energy draws us back to The Local 165 again and again. Even though we live an hour away, we make this special trip just to enjoy their beautiful ambience and consistently mouth-watering meals. Everything in this cafe carries the personal touch of people who care about their customers and their food.

Everything about this meal was perfection — the chicken wrap was packed with flavour, the coffee smooth and strong, the chips crispy just how I like them, and the vanilla slice… next level. An absolute standout. Highly recommend! ChefsKiss

We were happy to find this place as it was all that was open on a Sunday morning! While not cheap, the food was delicious (steak sandwich + a bacon & egg roll) and coffee was decent (the cappuccino was a lot tastier than the espresso). Was a little disappointed to be told the cheese on my roll couldn't be put on the steak sanga instead -- I was then charged extra for cheese on the sandwich even though I didn't ask for it. Overall though, the staff were mostly friendly and the place was clean with plenty of self serve water and a nice vibe. Definitely worth a visit if you're in town!

Good choice was good. Best egg & bacon roll that I have eaten. Being on a special diet they were happy to cater to my v request on how I need it . to be done. Coffee is excellent too.

What a nice surprise this place was. I got the chicken burger and it was excellent - tasty, big size, good bun and it come with a big serving of crunchy seasoned fries. Definitely a cut above the average country cafe.
