Stopped by for a coffee and light snack before my Spirit of Coorong day experience. Cafe is situated by the wharfe. Staff were pleasant, enjoyed a friendly chat, quick to serve. Good menu and value. Nice view from Cafe. It is also close to where the train departs. Very relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. Indoor and outside dining. I noticed a bowl and toys available outside for people bringing their dog. Wheelchair accessible. Toilets closeby. They were very clean. Ample car parking - no time limit or cost.

A lively and friendly addition to Goolwa wharf, which hosts live music - great atmosphere! They serve the BEST german cherry beer which is a must try - I'm obsessed! We've enjoyed a number of evenings at Imbiss with friends and to simply wind down after a busy day. Don't worry if it's cold, they have plenty of heating and lap rugs for comfort. Great little business. A local favourite.

Beautiful views of the Murray River at Goolwa, situated on the wharf. Food is traditional German and the cakes are divine. Lovely coffee, terrific local wines and friendly service.

Great new venue to hit Goolwa wharf. Haven’t eaten here yet but coffee was great. Was very busy and they are still finding their feet, but did well to cope with the rush. Took a while to order but coffee came out quickly
