The Style: Which Craft and Coffee Cottage is set inside a house which was built in 1902 and as you open the front door, it feels like you are popping in to visit an old friend. The dining room at Which Craft and Coffee Cottage is quaint and cosy - it is like the quintessential country kitchen from story books with a beautiful embossed ceiling, timber floors, tapestry wall hangings and a pantry bursting at the seams! In this case, the pantry is jam packed with local goodies for sale including jam, chutney, oils, dried fruits and cakes all at reasonable prices.

The taste: There is nothing nicer on a cold winter morning than Devonshire tea and the version dished up at Which Craft and Coffee Cottage certainly didn't disappoint. The scones were light and fluffy and the helpings of jam and cream were generous. Other items on the menu include quiche, sandwiches and cake.

  1. Gotta love Devonshire tea! I've been meaning to check out Which Craft & all the second hand shops at Harden for a while now- we haven't explored Harden much yet since moving, except we went to the bowling club the other day for the Chinese lunch special which was pretty good. Have you been to the pickled pantry in Coota? I've also been meaning to check it out.
