On Waterworks Road, just across Walton Bridge Reserve in The Gap lies one of the popular cafes in the suburb, The Lodge, Just last year, Beanhunter rated The Lodge as the third best cafe in Australia.
The place is known for their great coffee, not surprisingly because the cafe is owned by the husband-and-wife team of Srle and Paula Manson Bogisevic, Paula is the former manager of the now-defunct Grindhouse Specialty Coffee.
Aside from their delicious coffee, Ms Manson has also made it her business to promote healthy eating. Their delicious treats may look sinful but you will be surprised to know that they are all healthy and handmade by Ms Manson herself.

A must-try is their new Super Charged Scrambled Eggs with chia seeds, turmeric, flaxseeds, pesto and spinach, served on organic sourdough with feta and roasted tomatoes. Talk about a meal to power you through the day — this is it.
You will also love their hearty bagels that are filled with so much goodness such as Swiss cheese, coleslaw and pickle or haloumi, tomato bruschetta and avo.
