About Lily's Pad Cafe

Tucked off Leura’s bustling main strip, Lily’s Pad Cafe is a gluten-free haven with dedicated kitchen protocols and generous garden seating. Patrons dodge the tourist gridlock to settle into the sunroom with a hearty brekkie burger or a massive bowl of coffee. The kitchen takes dietary safety seriously, deploying dedicated fryers and prep boards for everything from house-made wedges to fluffy buttermilk pancakes. Display cases brim with on-site baked gluten-free cheesecakes, starring flavors like passionfruit and coconut alongside zesty lemon curd.

  • Dedicated Coeliac Safety: The kitchen relies on dedicated fryers and separate prep boards to turn out safe gluten-free buttermilk pancakes, wedges, and fresh baked cheesecakes.
  • Sunlit Garden Setting: Located away from tourist thoroughfares by the village car park, featuring leafy outdoor tables welcoming dogs and multigenerational families.
  • Hearty Breakfast Fare: Morning options range from loaded corned beef hash and Turkish eggs to a full bowl of coffee.

  • Off-the-Beaten-Path Ease & Accessible Parking

    Conveniently positioned off the main village strip near parking, visitors avoid the heavy foot-traffic and long tourist queues of central Leura.

    Big bonus is that it was a bit off the beaten path so we didn't have to battle 50 other tourists for a table.
