About The Food Store

A reliable stop in Shepparton for generous brekkie spreads, hearty lunches, and regional pantry goods. Road-trippers drop in to recharge over house Reuben sandwiches, pulled beef quesadillas, and cold drinks. Choose a spot on the deep leather Chesterfields inside, grab a table along the footpath, or sit beneath the verandah heaters. Shelves near the counter hold locally made jams, treats, and pantry items to take home, while the pastry case turns heads with Basque cheesecake and slices of salted caramel.

  • Chesterfields & Verandah Dining: Relax inside on classic leather sofas or head out to the heated covered verandah and sidewalk tables.
  • Local Pantry Finds: Stock up on regional sauces, preserves, and packaged artisan products displayed right in the cafe.
  • Generous Daytime Fare: Fuel up on generous plates like house-crafted Reuben sandwiches, pulled beef quesadillas, and fresh bakes.
