Dining and Socialising

Regulars to Fairbairn's Oak Tree Café may have noticed a change in the past few weeks. A lick of paint, fresh menus and new passionate staff are the result of a take-over by Lyn Guy, former smiling barista from Brindabella Business Park's Breakout Café.

Anyone who has crossed paths with Lyn will know to expect only the best product served always with a smile; those of you yet to experience Lyn's warm hospitality will soon understand why she is sorely missed by the folk at Brindabella.

We recommend taking a look at the delicious breakfast menu which includes a selection of pancakes, bircher muesli and a gourmet big breakfast, just to name a few.

So, make the trip down to Lyn's Café, you certainly won't regret it.
