Quandong Cafe

One street back from Quorn's grand railway-era pubs, this has been the town's food-and-coffee institution since 1995, among the first to bring proper coffee culture to the Flinders Ranges. The draw is the quandong, the tart native peach that grows across the ranges: it turns up in a much-photographed slab pie made on the premises, in cheesecake, in milkshakes, and as jam alongside fluffy scones. Brunch standards and house baking round out the menu. Quorn made its name as a railway hub on the old Ghan line, and the cafe sits comfortably among the heritage shopfronts of its main streets, a natural stop for travellers heading deeper into the ranges. Open daily except Tuesdays, from morning to mid-afternoon.
