Motherduck
A treasured main-street Goolwa cafe for gourmet coffee, all-day brunch and produce-driven lunch plates.
On Cadell Street
Motherduck is a small daytime cafe on Cadell Street in central Goolwa, a few doors from the Goolwa Hotel and a short walk from the wharf. The shopfront is narrow and the tables fill quickly on weekend mornings - there is a small courtyard out the back for the overflow.
What to order
All-day brunch and lunch plates built around local produce, with a strong seasonal slant. Coffee is the main draw - beans rotated through several specialty roasters - alongside chai, hot chocolate and a tight cake selection.
When to come
Weekday mornings are quietest. Weekends from 9am to noon are usually full - get there early or be prepared to wait.
