Made here, every day

A little cafe with a very full cabinet.

Railway Cafe sits on Railway Terrace in the middle of Tailem Bend. Brick walls, timber floors, plants trailing down the shelves and a cabinet full of baking.

The food is homemade, and the menu keeps moving. Regulars notice new things turning up between visits, so there's usually something you haven't tried yet.

Sweet and savoury, breakfast and lunch, with gluten free options in the cabinet.

The pies

Twice as deep as a bakery pie.

The homemade pies have a following. Lamb and rosemary, butter chicken, and more, with a flaky top and a proper filling all the way through. Ask what's on today.

“THE best lamb and rosemary pie that I've ever had! Twice as deep as an ordinary bakery pie and stuffed full of lean pulled lamb, no gristly bits whatsoever!”

“I tried their Butter Chicken Pie, wow it was huge and exceptionally tasty. Top was flaky and the casing firm 9 out of 10 in my opinion.”

Found this cafe very reasonably priced, friendly service and food freshly made. Not a wide variety but arranged carefully both savoury and sweet lunch and breakfast items along with coffee, hot chocolate milkshakes etc. I ordered pesto chicken that they made fresh with plenty of chicken and avocado. Really liked that. Both the staffs were very friendly with the customers.
