Lois, Gosford This East Gosford grocer and cafe offers a shopping experience that's about as far as you could imagine from the fortnightly haul from a warehouse-sized supermarket. The shelves here are stacked with a decadent assortment of boutique products.... Nestled among the shelves of goodies are tables where diners can sample some of the products, or just settle back with a fragrant cup of coffee.

The kitchen uses the grocer's wealth of produce to create cafe brekkies, lunches, dinners & take-home meals.”
