The local General Store

More than a cafe. More than a shop.

The Upper Beaconsfield General Store has been part of the local community since 1885. Today it is still the sort of place where you can grab a coffee, meet someone for brekky, pick up something for home and run into half the town while you're here.

The cafe sits alongside our pantry & provisions, gifts, news and everyday retail. Add the drive-thru, our Barnyard, Chug the orange tractor and Bugs the cat, and it feels a little different from a standard cafe — exactly how a General Store should be.

Only at the Gen

A cafe stop with a bit more going on.

Grab coffee or food, browse the pantry & provisions, then have a look around. The drive-thru, our in-house baking, Chug and Bugs are all part of what makes a visit to the General Store a little different.

Our drive-thru

Cars, dogs & horses welcome.

Need to keep moving? Come through the drive-thru for coffee or takeaway without leaving the car. Dogs are regular visitors, and horses regularly come through too — they are very welcome. We keep dog biscuits and Smoochie horse treats on hand, so the four-legged customers don't miss out either.
