Living in an environment that is so beautiful and abundant is pretty special." At the mention of the Yungaburra community, Melisa can't speak highly enough of them. "From day one they welcomed us and have always been supportive". They enjoy getting to know their customers on a personal level—locals and visitors alike—making a diverse mix of clientele. Let's eat pie! Charlotte and Melisa. Photo: Steven Nowakowski T ablelanders are spoilt for choice when it comes to cafes and coffee shops with plenty on offer. One such treat is the Quincan Cottage Cafe and Gallery in Yungaburra. The Williams family has owned and run the cafe for over 14 years. Originally from Ingham, the family were looking for a cooler climate and a small friendly community, so they chose Yungaburra as their tree change location—and they haven't looked back. 6 What’s On & Where To Go October 2018 After so many years in business, the Williams family cafe runs like clockwork. Melisa is the cook and well-supported by her off-sider Ann who they can't do without. She's been with them since they opened and word has it that she's not allowed to leave! They are also fortunate to have two junior staff, Charlotte and Kasey, who are also best friends—their personalities bring joy to the cafe. Joseph is the chief barista who fits in where ever the ladies say, but is allowed to indulge in his great love of fishing as compensation. Quincan Cottage Cafe prides itself on making everything in-house using local produce. On busy market or festival days their day can start at 5am particularly to ensure there are plenty of homemade pies – their signature dish! The pies have a wonderful mound that replicates nearby Mt Quincan after which the cafe is named. They know they must be doing something right when they constantly receive positive feedback about the pies, particularly from travellers who say they're the best they've ever eaten! They also bake their own cakes, sweets, slices and quiches. There's a world of yumminess here including gluten-free and vegetarian options. Call in at 34 Gillies Highway, Yungaburra six days a week between 8.30am and 4pm. Closed Wednesdays.
