Beautifully eclectic, The Dairy Lounge is a place to meet, eat and relax after a walk along the river or just to escape the hustle and bustle of the CBD.
Situated in the offices of the old butter factory just by the river, The Dairy Lounge is a peaceful destination, offering simple home-style foods with bags of ambience according to manager Jade Smith.
“It’s a beautiful relaxing place, it’s quirky, it’s an ambient atmosphere to it,” she said.
“So when you first walk in you have the spacious dining area and then we come into the café side and there’s like a lounge. There are little rooms spotted all around the places. It used to be the offices for the old butter factory. It’s like coming into a home and with the décor it’s just relaxing to sit back and have a really good cup of coffee or coming in for lunch or sitting outside. Winter is coming and we have an outdoor area as well – when the sun’s out it’s magical and you’re looking over the view and it’s just like a beautiful country view over the river.”
Jade said it was a beautiful place to eat and they were keeping things simple.
“Our menu is extending, getting bigger but we are sticking with the basics – good home meals.”
They do nice country style breakfasts with a range of menu items for lunch to tempt any taste bud.
“We have gluten-free vegetarian lasagne, frittatas and quiches – all home-made. When the menu extends we’re going to be doing steak sandwiches like mild chicken curries and savoury crepes as well – because they’re delicious. Just keeping it simple.
“We have Campos Coffee, we open up nice and early and the river is right next to us – people can go for a morning walk and then come in and relax and have a coffee and a muffin.”
They are open from 7-2.30pm seven days a week, find them at 1/45 Victoria Street, Warwick.
