The Proprietor shop at 459 Townsend Street is one of the oldest buildings of Albury, with its original foundations being laid pre 1890. It started its life as a saddler and was later converted to a butchers shop. It has a large cellar underneath that was used to store meat before the days of refrigeration.

It has undergone many facelifts during its life but the renovations we have completed mark one of the biggest changes it has seen. We have endeavored to fit out the shop using as many recycled materials and equipment as possible while not forgetting function, style and ambiance. We have also made most of the furniture and fittings by hand.

Can’t go wrong with an egg on toast but the must try is the garlic mushroom with toast but don’t forget to add bacon. Staff are very friendly and put out a good vibe

Stopped here from our drive from Sydney to Melbourne. Even though it was crowded food and coffee came out after a reasonable time. Coffee is great and food is also very nice.

Came for a visit after reading great reviews but was disappointed. Pan fried gnocchi was drowned in oil, steak sandwich was mediocre and kids bacon and eggs had runny poached eggs which didn't make sense. Also sat us on a shared table during Covid. Hope others have a better experience.

Very noisy no air ventilation hot and stuffy inside . Halloumi was rubbery and bacon was dry and truely fried. Expensive for what I received I’f it was cooked well and they balanced the meal out it could have been a delicious meal. Unfortunately disappointing

Stylish and nice place, great coffee and breakfast selection. The service was a bit slow but probably because they were very busy today. Nice and friendly staff.

Food was just what we needed to warm ourselves up on a cold day. Would 100% recommend the Bacon & Egg Sandwich!
Inside was a bit echo-ey but apart from that it was a nice atmosphere for a Sunday brunch.

Just a quick stop here to have a coffee and snack while filling in an hour. Have been here before and the coffee good and this is the first time I've had food but from the look of the other patrons food they are good quality meals.

We just had a chicken and avocado toasted sanga and it was quite nice and just hit the spot to tide us over till lunch. The place was packed as you would expect of a good cafe on a Sunday morning.

The service was a little slow but I'm not surprised as there was quite a few people in the cafe and outside seating. But still happy with the service and time

We were a party of ten and promptly found a great table in the back. Service was excellent! Every dish offered was delicious. The presentation of the food was also very well done! They serve breakfast and lunch until closing. Coffees and chai latte delicious! Be sure to try the Poached Pear!

My wife and I stopped in on our way back to Canberra from holidays in Victoria. It meant leaving the monotony of the Hume Highway which was a blessing.

The coffee was good and the breakfast - I had Eggs and Bacon with the lot - was great. My personal favourite was the homemade baked/braised beans - yum.

While driving down to Melbourne from Sydney we needed a healthy lunch option and this certainly exceeded our expectations. Although I'm not a strict vegetarian if there is a vego option available that looks good then I'll jump at it. The meals and service were great!

Really nice bacon and egg sandwich with a genuine homemade bbq sauce. Friendly staff and.prompt service. What is disappointing is following the trend of serving coffee in small glasses. Why are Aussie cafes so stingy.

Cute spot and set up and friendly service
Food is just ok and some were not enjoyable at all.
Tried the gnocchi which was good, the cauliflower and cous cous salad was very bland.
Not sure if I would come back again as didn't really enjoy the meals I had here. Perhaps others are more lucky and I do hope to see some improvement to their menu.

Not sure it was possible to find great coffee on the road between Sydney and Melbourne - this place is totally worth the short detour! Great breakfast food - plenty of healthy options (and not-so-healthy... A friend had pork belly with holandaise... Mmmm). Good service and a cool vibe. Highly recommended!

Great place for brekky. Good menu, helpful staff and food served promptly. Also have some cabinet items. Good atmosphere. Looked fairly new so hope they do well. Good patronage when we were there at 9.30am on a weekday.
