Forget the notion of not being able to get decent quality coffee in regional Australia - Red Annex proves otherwise. Friendly, welcoming and most importantly, coffee as good (or better) as anything you’ll find in Melbourne.

Not sure of the person's name who was working - but you absolutely made my 7 month old's day by playing peekaboo with him from behind the coffee machine, and putting sprinkles on his babycino! Thank you. We will be back!

Great coffee and Avo smash. Such a contrast to the slow cafe next door. Although the Avo smash was delicious, it was $18 for one slice of toast and no egg.

This is a beautiful little cafe that also has an amazing boutique shop inside. The coffee and tea served are both amazing as is the service. The sweet and savoury food options available are all delicious. I have been there many times and have never been disappointed.
