About Isabel’s Place
Isabel's Place is a community cafe in Forbes, New South Wales, and the kind of spot where the tagline, "where everybody knows your name", feels earned. We've heard it described as homely and relaxed, with mismatched furniture, mosaics and old china that give it a lived-in, cosy feel rather than anything slick.
The menu is big and easy to read, built around home-cooked style meals, cakes and slices. Breakfast and brunch get plenty of love: people rave about the eggs benedict on an English muffin, the breakfast bruschetta and a hearty cooked breakfast that keeps you going for hours. Wraps, veggie burgers and a burger with a proper filling come up around lunchtime, and the milkshakes are popular, with one thick chocolate shake said to need a spoon. Coffee gets a thumbs-up, and loose leaf tea arrives in a proper teapot, which tea drinkers will appreciate.
It's a friendly option if you eat differently from the crowd. There's a separate gluten free menu, vegan and vegetarian choices, and we hear a vegan sandwich made to order was no trouble at all. Cakes and desserts round things out. Locals also point to good value and quick, friendly service.
Families are well looked after, with a play corner for little ones, high chairs, a reading nook and spots to settle in with a laptop or a group of friends. There's outdoor seating too, and one traveller was pleased to sit outside with their dog. You can dine in, take away or have your order delivered, and they also do catering.
One visitor found the food average and another noticed tables that hadn't been cleared at lunch. One diner also had an order missed, so it pays to confirm yours at the counter. Check the hours before you go, as they're shorter on weekends.

“No problems getting a vegan sandwich made to order, the menu is extensive, including hot meals and variety of beverages. Really nice welcoming atmosphere, heaps of parking close by and food was served very promptly.”
“Had lunch here two days in a row. Seperate gluten free menu. Works Burger was really enjoyable and filling. Frittata and salad a lighter meal and left room for yummy desserts. Great coffee. Loyalty card. Quick and friendly service. Reasonable prices.”
“How a good hearty breakfast should be! Kept me going for hours, and the chocolate thick shake was possibly the best I have ever had!!”
