About Lumberjack

Lumberjack powers the Bridge Road morning crowd with dialed-in specialty espresso and scratch-cooked breakfasts. No surcharges on the bill, and plenty of genuine banter over the bar. Regulars secure the front window bench for street watching or head straight past the counter into the airy rear courtyard. Plates arrive fast and unpretentious—think golden poached eggs, the Lumberjack Feast with housemade sausages, or warm winter porridge paired with fresh Prana Chai and chunky cookies.

  • Dialed-In Coffee: Silky flat whites and dialed-in espresso pulled alongside freshly steeped Prana Chai.
  • Rear Courtyard: An airy outdoor garden space buffered from Bridge Road street traffic.
  • Zero Surcharges: House policy skips weekend and payment processing surcharges on bills.
  • Wholesome Plates: Scratch-made dishes like the Lumberjack Feast, winter porridge, and chunky house cookies.

  • Transparent Value with Zero Surcharges

    Patrons enjoy fair, transparent dining with straightforward pricing and no extra processing fees or weekend surcharges added to their bill.

    Great to have amazing small businesses around us who just give great service and as a bonus no surcharges like others in the area.

  • Secluded Rear Courtyard Garden Retreat

    The hidden leafy open-air courtyard behind the cafe offers a peaceful escape from Bridge Road, ideal for relaxed solo lunches and group gatherings alike.

    There's a gorgeous courtyard out the back where you can sit while enjoying a delicious brunch.

  • Destination-Worthy Cookies and Prana Chai

    Famous for chunky baked cookies, freshly made muffins, and authentic Prana Chai, Lumberjack is a dedicated destination for afternoon indulgence.

    The muffins aren't doughy, they are chunky with fruit and nuts and the chunky cookies are worth a drive for!
