This place is a work of love. Hidden away on the Sandspit Rd just seven km from Warkworth, the Parsley Pot Cafe offers wholesome food (including plenty of gluten-free options) at reasonable prices with an ambience all of its own. Almost everything here speaks of life’s simple pleasures – from the morning’s homemade muffins, hash browns and delicious chowder, to the warm internal decor, the big backyard vegie garden and the oyster-shelled paths (don’t worry, they’re blunt) that weave through the gardens surrounding the cosy domed cafe. Keep an eye out for the occasional burger nights, when the whole place hums with live music on Grandma’s grand piano. As a former Lonely Planet author, I know the goods things in life – and the Parsley Pot is one of them.

What a delightful, relaxing, unpretentious country cafe with consistently great expresso, delicious food with the freshest local (and often homegrown) ingredients and two proprietors, Mel & Sheree, who are always on top form and always welcoming and great company.

A gem of a cafe.

In the middle of nowhere (relatively speaking), halfway between Warkworth and Sandspit.

A rustic, rural oasis, surrounded by dense native and exotica flora where you can relax with a coffee whilst enjoying fresh home baking and generous cooking. Let the children try the hot chocolate – if you can get them in from the lawn.

As expats we know Coffee Shops around the world and the Parsley Pot is unique – just don’t tell everybody!

Fabulous food and very relaxing atmosphere, the girls certainly know how to create a great place for brunch. The menu is extensive and regularly updated with tasty new treats.

Lovely spot, great food, they have a friendly cat that lightens the mood, its just like popping over to mums for a cup of tea except you get a bill at the end not a big one though.
Fair price for a small comfortable cafe.

This place is awesome, so cute and in a neat spot. The food is great and you get your money’s worth.
