Stopped in here on the way through to the snowy mountains after a friend recommended it and we weren't disappointed. The coffee was excellent and the pecan pies were not too sweet and had lovely pastry. Service was very friendly and the waitress even made sure to offer us a plastic plate and booster seat for my toddler.

We always plan our trips to and from the snow around lunch/brunch at The Lott, and we have never been disappointed.

All the bread is delicious and freshly baked, the service is friendly, there are plenty of papers to read - and if you're lucky you may be able to snag a spot by the open fire. The hearty breakfasts are particularly good.

The Lott also sells a small range of kitchenware, unusual cookbooks, and collectibles; the last time we visited I was tempted to pick up a few vintage American milk bottles.

I have been here a few times now. Menu is not huge but good healthy meals are available. Coffee is always good and some yummy desserts. Service can be a bit slow at times. This is one of the better cafes in cooma.

Approximate cost: $15
