Why it's worth checking out
Lovedale Cafe brings a quality cafe to Wine Country Drive in Pokolbin, in the heart of the Hunter Valley wine country north of Newcastle. A 4.6 rating from 264 reviews marks it as a genuine local favourite.
The appeal is a relaxed cafe in a lovely wine-country setting — a great spot for breakfast, brunch or a coffee while exploring the Hunter. Its Pokolbin location, close to the region's many cellar doors, restaurants and attractions, makes it a natural part of a day out or weekend away.
Cafe menus, specials and trading hours change over time, and the Hunter gets busy on weekends. If you're after a particular dish or specific opening hours, it's worth confirming the current details directly with the cafe before you head over.
