The Busy Bee Cafe and Catering

Had lunch here today. Can sit inside or out in the street. Family friendly eating area inside with books etc. Mediterranean meal options. Tasty and filling meals. Gluten free options. Cappuccino good. Coffee loyalty card. Quick and friendly service. Reasonable prices.

Always enjoy freshly baked goodies, fresh juice & hearty meals. This home made blueberrie scone with white chocolate was delicious topped with fresh cream

Great breakfast good prices and food as good as the pics , the give away is it’s packed with locals 👍

What a delightful Cafe. Beautiful food and coffee. Great staff an prompt service. Plenty of space with seating inside or on side walk. Excellent prices for a remote town.

As a solo Aussie traveller who looks for a cafe with an atmosphere and great coffee to sit and play on social media, this place ticks those boxes.
There are a few cafes to chose from, but this one is cute.
Coffee strong & hot (✔), lots of people eating in (✔), lots of room inside and out (✔), happy customer service (big ✔).
I can see why both locals come here.

Delicious food and fair prices compared to other places in town. Kind staff and welcoming atmosphere. Only place that delivers to your doorstep and even delivers to camps. I 100% recommend.

While staying at Lightning Ridge we went out for breakfast and lunch great service and friendly staff, food amazing.
I had pancakes which was a big meal delicious. My husband had the bacon and eggs .

Had Breakfast here and it was great.
Great amount of options.
Coffee and smoothies were great
Service fast even though it was quite busy. Couldn't get a table outside. Will definitely be back. 👍

Nice food, great menu, nice decor and aircon: best cafe in the area! Thanks!

Stopped here for a coffee, a cup of tea and cake whilst visiting this amazing town. This place was great. Seemed like "The Locals" come here and it was good fun listening to the banter and watching town go by. The coffee was one of the best I have tasted and the cake and tea great as well. Definitely would go here again, and the service was friendly as well. To be honest I have found Lightning Ridge to be really friendly and welcoming of us tourists. Thanks Lightning Ridge and Busy Bee.

Amazing service, food and drinks - a must when you are in town

Friendly staff. Good atmosphere to enjoy a coffee or a meal. Good breakfast menu,

This cafe almost single handedly convinced me to move to Lightning Ridge so that I could enjoy the food every day. The food and drinks are absolute top tier.

Excellent Service & Food .
The Local Know Where to Frequent. Follow Them to the busy Bee.

So impressed with the lovely team from Busy Bee Cafe. I messaged and then ordered a Sweet box for a friend's Birthday on Monday morning and it arrived within 20 minutes to their house! I think it was a bit less in time, incredibly quick! So quick to reply when I messaged and extremely helpful.
Awesome sweet box for a friend's Birthday. Highly recommend this lovely cafe 🥰 Thank you so much for your help, it was perfect in every way 👏👌

Cosy little place to stop a get yourself a coffee break or if you are hungry a burger break! But not only that, I got a greek souvlaki in a pita and it was absolutely delicious!
