Enjoy your coffee!

We were down at Newtown Providores again this week, and I must say it really is one of Dubbo’s gems. The smell, the sounds, the friendliness, the atmosphere, it’s like stepping into a different world. You simply must check it out!

Newtown Providores is one of Dubbo’s greatest small business success stories, a gourmet deli that has absolutely everything that Coles and Woolworths doesn’t.

Buffalo cheese, goats cheese, every cheese under the sun, vanilla pods, herbs and spices, more herbs and spices, exotic pasta, chunky red pesto dip, sourdough bread, french truffles, salad dressings, organic chicken, the best ham in Dubbo (by a long mile), home made muffins, kaffir lime leaves, and the list goes on, and on!

If you visit, make sure you leave plenty of time for a chat to the friendly staff. It’s the brainchild of Peter Davis, a man as passionate about his food as he is about science, and let me tell you, Peter is passionate about his science!

It’s in Boundary Road opposite South Dubbo Tavern.

Peter also runs a coffee float at every Farmer’s markets.

Thanks for all your contributions and support over 2008.
