The Coffee Pedaler

I’ve visited The Coffee Pedaler twice now. The first time, both the food and coffee were really good, which made me want to come back. On my second visit, I ordered the same thing—eggs on toast—but the bread was burnt, which made it hard to finish. The coffee is still very good, especially for a small town, and the staff are lovely. Overall, it’s a good experience, but a bit more consistency with the food would make it even better.

A perfect breakfast stopover if you're passing through Gundagai. We tried their avo and feta smash, hash browns, and banana bread. Everything was just amazing. Their coffee was on point, perfectly made. The banana bread was so moist and just sumptuous. Definitely worth a stop over

We decided to stop here after reading some good reviews online. The place was quite busy, so we placed our order and waited patiently with the kids at our table. After about 40 minutes, nothing had arrived and the cafe was due to close in just 20 minutes. When I went to check at the counter, I was shocked to find that they had completely lost track of our order. No record of our table number, which we were flaunting at our table till that point. I was still understanding at this point, mistakes happen, but things quickly went downhill. The staff turned rude and dismissive, and I had to show proof of payment from my bank app before they even believed I’d paid. It felt like they thought I was trying to get a free meal. While other diners continued eating inside, we were asked to wait outside. When our food finally came in, it was completely messed up. Maybe we were just unlucky that day, but for us, this ended up being the worst restaurant experience of our entire trip.

Excellent coffee and blueberry muffin - possibly one of the best blueberry muffins ever. Orange poppy seed cake very good but not keen on squirt pack cream. Terrific service in spite of busyness. Aircon was a bit frigid indoors- our only minor grizzle.

Hmmm. Tricky one. Could be amazing - but hasn’t got there yet. A change of mindset would be required. Food and drinks are very good. But even when busy, priority needs to go towards table clearing and cleaning. We spent our entire visit with dirty plates and cups occupying most of the space on our table. We were served, but the server took no responsibility or initiative to clear. We then watched them pfaff about with other tasks. Lovely people, but it’s a mindset thing. Prioritise keeping the place looking sharp. It just doesn’t. And it impairs the whole experience.

Saw the signs on the road side leading up to Gundagai so we decided to stop for a coffee break. Cute place with nice coffee, had a quiche which was good but the warm blueberry muffins were excellent. The place seemed busy but I think there may have been an issue as they were quite slow to serve up food and drinks.

We had a pleasant stop for lunch here. The focaccia was good, but the frittata was not - too watery. The cakes were drizzled with red stuff and fake cream. Not necessary. It was ok all up.

There's 2 Coffee Pedalers in region and in my experience the Tumut Cafe is far better. Friendlier service, Tumut heats up my slice Gundagai doesn't.
