With plenty of outdoor seating and cover from the elements, it\u2019s a great choice if you\u2019re travelling with your dog \u2013 otherwise, enjoy the cosy interiors of the converted cottage space.<\/p>\n Pair your cold brew with a sweet offering from Trail St Coffee Shop.

But this is one cafe you won\u2019t want to miss.<\/p>\n Get your daily dose of coffee at Mr. Lawrence.<\/p><\/div>\n The food is the drawcard, which isn\u2019t surprising given Jamie Shepley of Graze in nearby Junee is a co-owner.\u00a0 The berry and ricotta hotcakes, sriracha scrambled eggs and baked beans with house-made sauce are all winners, plus the coffee is consistently smooth and brewed with care.<\/p>\n There are just too many delicious options to choose from on their brunch menu.<\/p><\/div>\n Address:<\/strong> 187 Fitzmaurice St, Wagga Wagga NSW<\/p>\n Phone Number:<\/strong> (02) 5938 2838<\/p>\n You’ll find Larry’s at the top of Best Street<\/a> near the busy Sturt Highway. While it might be a 15-minute walk from the centre of town, Larry\u2019s is a local hub, and you\u2019ll find mornings are busy with office workers and tradies queuing up for their morning cappuccinos.<\/p>\n Sit down for a hearty breakfast at Larry’s. (Image: Ash Smith)<\/p><\/div>\n Larry\u2019s means business with its coffee \u2013 you can even order a \u2018barista\u2019s breakfast\u2019 of single-origin espresso, a milk-based coffee of your choice and a batch brew filter. They sell bags of on-site blends, plus if you\u2019re not a caffeine fan their tea and chai offerings are both impressive.<\/p>\n Start the day at Larry’s and settle into the indoor or outdoor seating.<\/p><\/div>\n Address:<\/strong> 10 Best St, Wagga Wagga NSW<\/p>\n Phone Number<\/strong>: (02) 5908 3158<\/p>\n Meccanico<\/a> is a foodie darling of Wagga Wagga. Part cafe, part wine bar, it\u2019s part of the up-and-coming Cadell Place and is definitely the place to visit if you love gourmet fare. While the menu is short and sweet, it\u2019s filled with decadence. Try the stracciatella English muffins with drizzled local honey and seasonal fruits, or the Berkshire ham and cheese toastie, grilled and gooey.<\/p>\n Power through the day with a warm cup of coffee.<\/p><\/div>\n If you\u2019re heading in for lunch, you can\u2019t go past the pasta \u2013 opt for beef ragu (slow-cooked and comforting) or you can\u2019t go wrong with whatever is on the specials board. Staying in town for dinner? Check out Meccanico\u2019s sister restaurant, Pastorale, one of the best restaurants in Wagga Wagga<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Meccanico Espresso + Wine is also open for dinner.<\/p><\/div>\n Address<\/strong>: 171 Fitzmaurice St, Wagga Wagga NSW<\/p>\n Phone Number<\/strong>: +61 418 608 427<\/p>\n Uneke Lounge<\/a> is a great place to gather with friends. With its spacious interiors and homely, vintage-style design, you can while away a few hours here over lattes and chunky slices of banana bread dripping with butter. The menu is extensive and covers all the breakfast and lunch favourites.<\/p>\n Lunch has an Asian fusion twist, with bao buns and Szechuan dumplings, while breakfast is all about Australian classics like corn fritters and avocado toast.<\/p>\n Head into Uneke Lounge for your breakfast favourites.

While there\u2019s ample seating indoors and out the front, it\u2019s the leafy backyard you\u2019ll want to head to on sunny mornings.<\/p>\n Refuel at The Brew. (Image: The Brew)<\/p><\/div>\n The menu is reminiscent of coastal cafes with fresh fare like buckwheat and goji berry bircher, or for the savoury fans, you can\u2019t beat their eggs benny.<\/p>\n Pick your best choice from the menu. (Image: Matt Beaver)<\/p><\/div>\n Lunch is all about the ploughman’s lunch \u2013 Tim\u2019s Meats from Coleambally provides the kabana sausage, and Coolamon cheese brings the crumbling cheddar. Throw in some pickled sugar snaps and seeded dark rye, and you\u2019ve got a local produce winner.<\/p>\n For starters, you can order avocado toast.
