About

The Courthouse Cafe operates from a historic building on Elizabeth Street in Collingwood, serving breakfast and lunch daily from 8am to 3pm, open seven days. Food is made fresh on site, including bread baked in-house, with a focus on locally sourced produce such as mussel chowder and market fish. The cafe hosts a Saturday pizza night and offers self-contained accommodation next door at Potters Cottage. Reservations can be arranged and dogs are welcome.

Reviews

I was in Collingwood for two days and visited The Courthouse Cafe three separate times for coffee, breakfast items and lunch. Everything I've had has been wonderful. Definitely recommend.

The best place to go if you are in little Collingwood. Fantastic staff and atmosphere. They don't have internet so expect it to be like being in a noisy Avery on their busy days (most days), but that has to be a good thing, right! Food is always really good, coffee is always great. I've given 4 stars, only because as a local it would be nice to see some new choices. They do cater for gluten free but if you are both gluten and sugar free, it's a bit more challenging, but just ask as the staff can always help. And the bonus is that they also have a potters gallery with the most divine ceramic pieces made by owner Sue Dasler. Check them out.

Absolutely amazing place, filled with locals and so welcoming. I came for breaky before a long day hiking, I had the eggs benny and it’s by far the best I had (and I had a loooot of eggs benny). I sat outside and it was quiet and peaceful. I didn’t have to eat all day after such a lovely meal. Thank you!

We loved it there! Coffee was incredibly good, as well as the carrot cake we had. We came back the day after to enjoy it one more time before we left the area.
