A little slice of heaven on Crawford

I live in a typical New South Wales country town...although it is a little unique, some would consider Queanbeyan to be another suburb of Canberra. Technically we're just over the border of the ACT but we're closer then some of Canberra's northern suburbs. A whopping 15 minutes to the nation's capital city. Best of both worlds really. I love our local park, our local swimming pool, the library, the schools and country community...all with city benefits a hop, skip and jump away. Like a lot of country towns, when we first moved here the cafe scene was dismal, the town was run down and worn out. If you wanted a good coffee you had to drive into Kingston or Manuka. How things have changed in the last 6 months!

Hello 4th Seed!!!

The Royal Hotel has had a huge makeover and been brought to life again and with it, one of the main streets has been rejuvenated. Tucked into that hotel is a gorgeous little espresso bar...my new favourite coffee haunt! We stopped there on the way to the park this morning to give it a go. I'd been eyeing it off for the last two months but a little thing called cancer got in my way. Baby it was well worth the wait!

It is so nice to have a first class cafe in my own little town...a beautiful little place to indulge in caffeine, sweet treats and amazing, AMAZING food! 4th Seed is something I would expect to find in Melbourne, it's THAT good!!!

Today's treat...chilli chocolate, hazelnut and chocolate orange macarons with a damn fine flat white...enjoyed in the Autumn sunshine while the kids played in the park. Happy dance xxx
