Silly Goat

Top choice in Broken Hill


What's this? Pour-overs and single-origin coffee in the outback? Nice work, Silly Goat. The menu would be at home in any big-city cafe, the array of cakes is tempting, the coffee is great, and the vibe is busy and cheerful. Cold pressed juices and a more spacious new location add two further ticks to easily the best cafe in town.
