A Historic Gem

Housed in a building constructed in 1860 by John Barnes, our café preserves its original shelving, floorboards, and open fireplace. The space exudes history—John Barnes' legacy lives on, despite the dramatic chapter involving his encounter with Ben Hall's gang in 1863.

Enjoy the cozy warmth of our roaring fire as you sip on coffee that warms your soul.

Whether you're a coffee enthusiast, a tea connoisseur, or a food lover, we offer something to delight your taste buds.

Join us at Barnes Store Emporium & Café for a journey through art, history, and flavour during the Hilltops Off The Beaten Track Art & Cultural Trail!
