Discover the charm of Barnes Store Emporium and Café, a beautifully 1890 heritage building in the heart of the Hilltops Region with history and flavour to explore.

Proudly championing local produce, Barnes Store crafts a seasonal menu filled with fresh, thoughtfully prepared dishes designed to showcase the best of the region. Alongside their café favourites, you'll find house-made specialties including smoked olive oils, infused salts and a tempting selection of sweet treats, complemented by products from fellow local makers.

Browse the emporium shelves for gourmet goods and gifts, then settle in with a pot of loose-leaf tea or a freshly brewed coffee for a relaxed country cuppa. The welcoming space regularly hosts visual art workshops, exhibitions and intimate musical performances, adding a vibrant cultural layer to your visit.

Steeped in history, the building also shares stories of Ben Hall's bushranger gang and its connection to this heritage site, offering a fascinating glimpse into the past while you enjoy the comforts of the present.

Barnes Store Emporium and Café is a great spot to experience regional flavours, warm country hospitality and Hilltops heritage in one memorable stop.
