The Dispensary
The Dispensary is an elegant cafe/bar that ensures whatever meal you have there is your classiest meal of the day. Established in 2013, the cafe would not be out of place in downtown Manhattan or inner-city Melbourne, but you can enjoy those experiences right here in the Mackay Region. Their breakfast menu offers a wide variety of food, including but not limited to Waffles, Bacon and Egg Rolls and Acai Bowls. They even have mini pancakes for the kids. That along with their amazing coffee, (the macchiato is this author’s preference), make this café the perfect spot to start your morning.
