About Kempsey Cafe.

Located inside the iconic Slim Dusty Centre, our Kempsey café offers a cozy, welcoming space where locals and visitors alike can enjoy fresh food, great coffee, and genuine country hospitality. Whether you’re stopping in before exploring the museum or meeting friends for a relaxed lunch, Key Café is a hidden gem that’s well worth the visit.

We serve a selection of house-made meals, baked goods, and barista-made coffee, all crafted with care and served with a smile. Our menu features fresh, locally sourced ingredients and includes a mix of classic favourites and lighter options, perfect for morning teas, lunch catch-ups, or a quiet moment to yourself.

As part of Key Community Group, we proudly create opportunities for people with disability to gain hands-on experience in hospitality. Our Kempsey café is not just a place to eat, it’s a place where people train, grow, and contribute, helping us deliver on our mission of inclusion and meaningful employment.

With plenty of parking, wheelchair access, and peaceful surroundings, the café is a great choice for travellers, locals and community groups.
