About Tourist Cafe

Situated on a quiet street in Cooma, this café offers a relaxed setting ideal for anyone looking to enjoy a calm break from the road or a laid-back spot to catch up on some work. With seating that welcomes solo diners as well as groups, the atmosphere stays casual and unhurried throughout the day.

The menu here leans heavily into breakfast and lunch, featuring hearty options like poached eggs on toast served with butter-fried mushrooms and bacon, alongside lighter fare such as toasted bagels with cream cheese and house-made jam. Coffee and tea are clearly a focus, with standout offerings like a chai latte and a smooth, rich double-shot cappuccino on full cream. For those after small plates or a quick bite, the options cover everything from seasoned wedges with sour cream and chili to a classic club sandwich, making it easy to find something satisfying without rushing.

This spot tends to attract a mix of locals and travelers passing through Cooma, especially those en route to the Snowy Mountains or down the coast who appreciate reliable, comforting meals and well-crafted drinks. Families are also welcome, with a kids’ menu and high chairs available, alongside ample parking that adds to the convenience.

Overall, the café has a gentle hum during the day—quiet enough for focused laptop work but welcoming enough for a casual catch-up. Those who enjoy a grounded, straightforward place to enjoy good coffee, healthy options, and a menu that balances quick bites with more filling meals will find it a solid choice in the neighborhood.

This cafe serves pretty good breakfast and lunch meals. The big breakfast is delicious and filling. The breakfast omelette is another amazing dish worth trying. The calamari rings and chips is also yummy especially the chips. Cooma is a common place to stop by when travelling down the coast or to Snowy Mountains and this one is worth stopping by.

Fellow travellers, in the words of Molly Meldrum (showing my age), do yourselves a favour and drop in for lunch here. Club sandwich was fantastic. Tea great. Service even better. Highly recommend. Enjoy.

Nice coffee. Bacon and egg roll was juicy. Would prefer the eggs to be more runny. Friendly service.

Sure! Here’s a review you can use or adapt: I recently stopped by Tourist Cafe in Cooma for a quick takeaway and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered a cappuccino and a chai latte, and both drinks were excellent. The cappuccino was smooth, rich, and had a lovely balanced flavor without being too bitter. The chai latte was perfectly spiced and comforting, especially on a cold morning. The staff were welcoming and efficient, and the service was quick even though the cafe was quite busy. A great little spot to grab quality coffee when you’re passing through town. Highly recommend!

I went here for the first time today and had one of the best meals ever! The ham and pineapple melt is sooo good like it’s the most memorable melt I’ve had and will dream about it long after I’ve gone home to Brisbane! The chips are amazing the best I’ve had ever n years! So crunchy! I hope to come back very soon! Also the chocolate thick shake was wonderful!!!!!
