The food at café at Lewers is prepared with care and thought. We source as much fresh produce as possible from farms in the Nepean-Hawkesbury region. Fresh orange juice is made with locally grown oranges. Our eggs, honey and most of the fruit and vegetables we use are from the local area. Our bread is hand made in the Blue Mountains and the smoked bacon and ham, ricotta and jams are all made within a short distance of the café.

Enjoy and thanks for coming.
