Laurie’s Cafe / Signed currently as Laurie’s Diner is a great little stop in Menzies. A person we met in Kalgoorlie recommended the burgers. The store had very friendly owners, nothing was too much trouble for Clare. It was simple and had a really good range. Lots of shopping essential items and this will increase shortly as the pub and local general store was closing as at 21st may 2024.

Great home made scones and good coffee! A neat and clean cafe and diner. The couple who run it are friendly and always good for a chat. They also serve a range of light meals and have some home made frozen meals you can take away. As it is the only shop in this historic town, they also carry a range of basic groceries and personal care items. Make sure you stop by when passing through Menzies. The sit down area has a lovely tribute to her late partner, Laurie after whom the cafe is named
