Wilkies Cafe stands out from the rest because of the inviting atmosphere. The interior had a rustic / industrials feel to it and I LOVED the giant real ferns. Well done to whoever takes care of those! About the food. Super yummy and worth the price. I had a French Toast banana bread which was surprisingly not sickeningly sweet so I devoured that. My partner had eggs Benedict which looks great but I didn’t get a taste. He also smashed that! The coffee is ok. I’d rate the food over the coffee considering the price point. Overall a nice place to visit while in Young for food, cake and a hot drink.
