About us!
A little family-run café with a big heart and a love for catering & events
We’re Kane and Laura, Jindabyne locals and the duo behind the award-winning Birchwood Café and Baby Birchy, our vintage coffee and cocktail van. We met in the Snowy Mountains nearly 20 years ago and have been creating and sharing food together ever since. Now raising our family here, we feel incredibly lucky to live and work in such a special part of the world.
Kane brings over 25 years of experience as a chef, and I (Laura) have always loved people, service and the heart that goes into hospitality. Birchwood is a space for connection, through good food, great coffee and genuine care. Whether you're stopping by for breakfast, grabbing a coffee from our kiosk, or enjoying a catered long lunch with friends, we’re so glad you’re here. We love what we do, and we can't wait to bring a little Birchwood magic to your day.
Simple Pleasures, Honest Food – Discover Birchwood Café.
Nestled in the heart of Jindabyne, Birchwood Café is your cozy retreat for hearty, wholesome food that feels like home. We're a small-town haven with a big heart for fresh flavours and simple, good food. Serving up delightful breakfast and lunch options seven days a week, our café is the perfect spot to fuel up before a day on the slopes or to unwind after an adventurous outing.
We also offer catering for gatherings big and small, from family dinners and lunch platters to private chef experiences, weddings and events. Just like our café menu, our catering options are seasonal, generous and designed to bring people together over good food.
Understanding the diversity of dietary needs, we've crafted a menu that includes a thoughtful selection of gluten-free and vegan-friendly dishes. Our seasonal menu reflects the best of what's available, ensuring each plate is as fresh as it is delicious. Plus, our specials board offers a rotating array of dishes to keep your taste buds curious.
At Birchwood Café, we believe in the joy of eating well without the fuss. It's a place where locals and visitors alike can gather, take a pause from the bustling ski town life, and enjoy honest food in a relaxed atmosphere. So come on in, pull up a chair, and join us at the table where the flavours are genuine and every meal is served with a sprinkle of Jindabyne charm.
