The Hub

The Hub Bathurst on Keppel has become one of my favourite breakfast spots. Since the change in management, the café has a noticeably elevated energy, polished, welcoming, and genuinely attentive without ever feeling overdone. The staff are consistently warm and professional, and the service is always excellent. The standout for me is the potato hash with perfectly poached eggs and Trunkey Creek bacon, an absolute hero dish. It’s beautifully balanced, full of flavour, and feels like a real treat every time. A quality breakfast experience and a great addition to Bathurst’s café scene. The coffee is by the well known local company Fish River Roasters that made an exclusive blend called The Hub, its great 👍

Everything was wonderful from the food, drinks to service were all excellent. Thank you to the tall girl with the ponytail (not wearing glasses) who served us today. Definitely coming back again ✨😍

I had lunch here with four others. I have been coming to this venue for years, typically for atmospheric reasons. The service was really great; friendly, fast and on point when you need someone. One problem - the Cuban Toastie. The sandwich in my photos is the $22 disappointment of my day. More can be done here on both value and taste. My companions enjoyed their respective meals, one saying it was the best tomato soup they’ve ever had ($17.70). I sampled the pumpkin salad. I’m not sure it had sharp enough flavours to inspire me to order it on my next visit.

We live within walking distance and the Hub is our go-to for a casual treat or when guests are in town. We have never been disappointed with service or food. That staff are cheery and helpful. The food is top-end cafe level quality with good choices. If the weather is suitable an outside table is a treat (not for a Bathurst winter though!). Final thought - its a good move to book a table as the Hub is deservedly popular with locals and visitors.

The place is easy to find. Lots of parking. Decent menu size with different options. The staff are very friendly and quick. The food was really good but I was super dissatisfied with my overcooked eggs. I got eggs Benny and ended up with hard-boiled eggs. The coffee was hit and miss, two were good and the other one was bitter. Really lovely atmosphere and decor. Inside and outside seating. Heaters on outside and birds flying around. Would recommend.

To preface this review, my family and I have eaten here multiple times over multiple years and always been satisfied, food well prepared and tasty. Today however (20/12/2025) Both my wife and son within 10-15 minutes after eating their respective dishes, Korean chicken salad and a BLT, they both had painful stomach upsets and diarrhoea. It’s fortunate we were close to public restrooms at the time. Unfortunately we won’t be back after this experience as paying $141 for food poisoning isn’t ideal.

We had a delicious lunch at the hub today. So many different flavours and very nicely balanced. The drinks were delicious too. Service exceptional. Can't wait to try another dish their. 5 out of 5 stars 🌟

Food was fine and coffee was nice but the service was a little chaotic. We waited for quite some time to be seated, with staff wandering out a few times to deliver food and drinks, and still no one coming to see us. Once we were at a table, we again seemed to be forgotten about for quite some time.

Great ambiance excellent service. Coffee is really good! We came on a Sunday morning and hadn't booked, were seated inside and our coffee appeared very quick. The food looks great and smells Devine, alas, we had just had our breakfast and were just in need of coffee. Tables are appropriately spaced inside and out. We definitely will be back and hope to sit outside next time.

A friend recommended this place as she knows I'm a bit of a coffee snob :) The place is set out beautifully with lots of seating options inside and outside in a shady courtyard. Five star service and a little pricey but still reasonable. We shared breakfast and there was enough for us both - and they even served it on 2 separate plates for us. The coffee was great - not perfect but I would give it 7/10 for a frothy cappuccino. I'll be back!!

Higher than Sydney Northshore prices with supermarket quality food. The coffee is mid-range (for Sydney, so good here). The one redeeming feature was the very friendly and attentive staff. Still, over $18 for eggs and supermarket mass produced toast (not even thick cut) is rich (in the exploitative way).

The food and service is amazing. Coffee is beat in town. The do GF and dairy free, just ask the staff , they will be more than happy to let you know how they can help. They also provide half serves. Can't rave about the atmosphere enough, with a warm fire burning on cold days and a beautiful outdoor area shaded by greenery and a canopy of vines in the summer! You will not be disappointed, the size of the portions give you value for money! Best place in Bathurst!

Food was delicious. Staffs were extremely friendly. Visited with my wife and she thoroughly enjoyed the food as well. She ordered a buddha bowl with free range chicken and I had ordered a lamb kofta bowl. Both were extremely well cooked and very tasty. Portion size were very good. Price was probably a little over priced compare to Sydney but we both enjoyed our lunch there and everything arrived to us very quickly. So fast service and excellent restaurant. I just wish they were open for Dinner too. Will definitely be back in future.

The Hub is THE place to be when you are in Bathurst it seems. Everyone in town is probably here on a Sunday Brunch, so make sure that you call in and book a table. There are indoor and courtyard seating, and most were reserved when I visited. Fast forward an hour and there was a sign put up advising people that they are full. An advised return time is indicated and take away is available. Service is friendly with the sad exception that four legged friends aren't allowed even in the outdoor area. This is probably the most disappointing detail, but grab a takeaway instead and sit at the nearby park watching the ducks. Food is good and I was informed that coffee here is great. Just make sure you remember to call ahead!

Wonderful modern Australian menu and amazing coffee. its only a bit off the highway. Great place to stop by. The locals love it the place was jumping at lunchtime.

Fantastic. Interesting and tasty food. I will be back to try more on the menu. Good friendly service. Good coffee. 3 of us went and there was nothing left on the plate.
