Quilpie may not be on every traveller’s bucket list, but maybe it has reason to be. Entering this beautifully manicured western town from the east, one of the first things you see is a little old time service station.
What you don’t immediately see though, is what the fuel bowsers are hiding. Inside, the attached cafe is spotless, modern and definitely a professional outfit. The coffee and tea is up there without complaint, however it is the array of cakes that sets it apart.
Why seek a COVID ridden ritzy cafe in Sydney or Melbourne when you can drop into the Empire. The cakes are stunning. Cheese Cake, Carrot Cake, Mud Cake; you name it they have it and the quality is unmatched.
As Molly so famously said; “Do yourself a favour.’ Make sure the Empire Cafe is your first stop in Quilpie.
