Cafe Dawn-Marie

Such a lovely little cafe with great service. We’ve popped by for a lunch and an afternoon tea and would highly recommend.

Great choices, very generous portions and a nice ambiance. Check out the hidden garden out back!

Lovely little cafe in Penrith - don't miss the specials board or the garden seating area!

I've been to Dawn-Marie twice now and had a tasty lunch both times. The paninis are very good. I had the bacon cranberry and brie, and the classic tuna melt.

I also tried one of the specials called Bobotie. It's a South African dish that's made up of a sweetish curried mince beef topped with an egg. If you enjoy sweeter dishes give it a try!

The service is good and friendly which I always enjoy to have a little chat. Give them a try and don't forget the millionaire shortbread for dessert!

Always a friendly welcome in this lovely Coffee Shop, it's our favourite place to go for a Coffee & Cake/Scone in Penrith.
On this visit we shared a Cherry Scone & a piece of Victoria Sponge, both homemade & very tasty 😋
The Courtyard garden at the back has a beautiful display of plants & is a lovely peaceful haven to sit if the weather is nice.

What a little gem a great tea room. Friendly staff and lovely food. Was a little quiet could do with a little back ground music. Decorated beautifully. Spotless clean.
Greek three bean soup was gorgeous.

Cafe Dawn Marie is the best place to eat and relax in Penrith. It is clean, cosy and comfortable, Tony and Andre are perfect hosts making you feel really welcome. They are happy to chat or leave you in peace to enjoy your meal. We ordered soup, toastie and homemade cakes all being enthusiastically eaten and enjoyed. We were not rushed in any way. My mother was in a wheelchair and there were steps into the property Tony came out and offered to assist us with a wheelchair ramp this was the only place we found that did this as we had been having difficulty in many of the shops in the town. We returned again a few days later and the welcome and service was spot on. Cafe Dawn Marie has only been open a few months and we would definitely recommend a visit and we wish Tony and Andre all the success they deserve and will gladly return when holidaying in the area in the future.

Great little cafe for lunch.
Good homemade food.
Spotlessly clean.
Friendly, caring and efficient staff.

A fantastic little café, recently opened & centrally located in Penrith with a lovely view of the church. Lots of vegetarian options and oat/soy milk available for hot drinks. Highly recommend the lemon curd cake - so delicious I forgot to take a picture before we demolished it! The owners are both really lovely and they've done an excellent job refreshing the decor of this place.

Best of luck with your new business Tony and Andre, we'll certainly return soon!

This cafe is highly rated and rightly so in my opinion. The staff are friendly and you can tell this is ‘their cafe’ and they take pride in their service. The food and drinks were served promptly, the options were delicious and unusual, and the coffee was lovely. I had the Bobotie from the specials board 👌🏻.

Absolutely lovely tea and scones. They warmed the scones which is a lovely touch. The staff were very kind and welcoming. If I could give six stars I would.

Wow wow wow what a find!
Just had the most amazing cheese scone served with butter and a
small bowl of grated cheese with a lovely spoon to add more cheese!
The cakes are gorgeous as well
The cutlery lovely
And the hosts very friendly
Super place view of the lovely old church
Don't miss it

Cafe Dawn-Marie is without doubt the best cafe in Penrith! It's setting by the church, the beautiful interiors by owners Andre and Tony, wonderful selection of food and drink, and such excellent hosts all add up to a perfect relaxing experience. There is also a lovely courtyard garden for the warmer weather. It's a very special place to visit for breakfast, coffee and cake, or lunch, would recommend!

My sister who is a great cook says "it's the best apricot scone I've ever eaten!"

Afternoon tea given as a gift to us was a really lovely experience. From start with an "amuse bouche" of strawberry and chocolate mousse taster. A lovely selection of freshly made sandwiches, scones and cakes served with Earl Grey and lemon. Loved it and it was a perfect end to our (very long)Diamond Wedding Anniversary. Lovely service too.

It is an amazing place. I thoroughly enjoyed trying the bobotie and would recommend trying it. Great variety of food choices, well worth a visit. 👍

We took my godmother for lunch and the owners could not have been more accommodating. We sat outside in the courtyard, which was so cute and had a well priced, good quality lunch and drink. The atmosphere is lovely and it is an exceptional place to visit.

"New" (to us!) cafe/coffee house, on footpath around Parish Church.
This cafe has recently been refurbished by new owners. The decor is very tastefully done. Plenty of spatial room around tables. Small back garden and pavement seating. We had tea served in real China cups and delicious toasted sandwiches. The two proprietors(Tony and Andre) were most attentive, they deserve success from the effort of turning what was an unattractive cafe into a lovely place to eat (and meet)

A really lovely little cafe, with great food, well priced and a lovely atmosphere. Everything was served on the fanciest china I've ever seen in a cafe. Highly recommended. 🥰

We loved this Cafe. Fabulous location, great staff and beautifully decorated. We had a cooked breakfast here and it was totally delicious. We will definitely come again if we are nearby.

Wonderfully newly refurbished cafe with excellent friendly and helpful hosts. Highly recommend and had gluten free options.
Interior design superb, light and airy.
I'll certainly be a regular.

My partner and I had breakfast here 22/5/22 it was lovely, very clean, very friendly staff and food was brilliant! And a bargain took some cakes for the road and they were also delicious!
