Behind a pleasingly low key classical shopfront on the main street of this heritage town, The Summerhouse has quietly been building up a following for some years now and a visit to Lismore would not be the same without calling in here to see what edible delights the café has on offer.
It offers goodies a-plenty, including freshly baked breads and other treats from their own bakery, which are available to eat in or take away – and clearly go down a treat with the many regulars who drop in for morning coffee (Java organic), a bite of lunch or afternoon tea a slice of with one of their all-butter cakes, made with organic flour... Using only the best ingredients is a point of pride here, and it shows.
Proprietor Gael Byrne is also a highly regarded florist and Teleflorist member, and her husband Owen is one of the founders of the wonderful Lismore Food Company, whose delicious and distinctively packaged biscuits are sold in some very dstinguished shops indeed - and here, in The Summerhouse.
