Called into Latrobe to visit Reliquaire (amazing shop!) and happened to spot Shadows cafe on the way. Decided to have lunch there and oh my!! The food was amazing - we had the roast pork special of the day (scrumptious). Other meals looked equally delicious. The staff were delightful and cheerful and certainly made it a great atmosphere. Highly recommend this little cafe to anyone visiting Latrobe. And don’t forget to visit Reliquaire - a wonderland for children of all ages!!
