About Kapé Centro
If you're passing through on the highway or just living nearby, Kapé Centro is a bakery-leaning cafe and gelato bar right on the main street of Childers, Queensland. It does proper cooked meals, all-day breakfasts, gourmet sandwiches, homemade cakes and slices, and gelato, so it suits a quick pie or a long sit-down brunch equally well.
Pies are what the bakery side is known for locally, and we've heard the chicken and mushroom pie is a good one. Toasties and toasted sandwiches also get plenty of love, and one local who ordered a ham, cheese and tomato toastie remarked on the ham coming off the bone. Brunch regulars point to the eggs benedict, corn fritters and scones, and there's a fish taco that one visitor called super fresh. The freshly squeezed juices come from the owners' family farm, and people talk about them.
Coffee gets a lot of praise too. One person who worked in the area for a couple of months said they kept coming back for it and still dream about it, singling out the barista who they took to be the owner. The staff are friendly, and the word is that they'll happily adjust an order rather than stick rigidly to the menu. Portions are generous and prices considered fair, which is why it works well as a travelling pitstop.
There's a balcony with outdoor seating, high chairs for little ones, and vegetarian and vegan options on the menu. They also offer catering, and they do high tea. Dine-in and takeaway are both available, and a gift shop sits alongside the cafe.
A couple of practical notes. It can get busy on weekends and orders occasionally get a little mixed up in the rush, though staff sort things out quickly. One visitor found the entry ramp narrow for two people, and dogs aren't welcome, so plan accordingly. Hours run every day, with a slightly earlier close on weekends, so check before you head in.
