After years of going through Goulburn to practically everywhere, it's taken us a while to find *the* place to eat. And yes, despite the fact that I like the whole idea and tradition of the Paragon Cafe, and the memories it brings back, it really doesn't taste that good.
But find it we did, when a friend recommended Greengrocer. It does fantastic sandwiches, has a huge array of salads, pastas, cakes, fresh fruit and vegetables, juices, and even professional looking wood fired pizza for the evenings. Everything is freshly made, and I was very impressed when the lady replied, after having been asked if we could have pizza for lunch; "Well, our chefs make the dough in the morning, and it has to have time to rise and mature, so it's usually not ready until dinner. Plus they have to make the sauces during the day..." This is a dedicated place, no doubt about it.
Off the main road, Greengrocer shares a massive building with a bike shop in the back, and uses the front portion to accommodate a wide variety of fresh produce, as well as chairs and tables for the cafe, where you're gonna be eating.
I'm not going to tell you what to eat at a sandwich bar, seriously. Suffice to say that it's all good. The sliced bread is very thick (off a proper tasty loaf, not out of a packet), and just as a personal preference I always have my sandwiches toasted. Especially if it's got cheese in it. And definitely if it's on Turkish bread. Always. Apart from that, go for it.
The cakes too are very tempting, although the Oreo cake did not live up to it's expected grandeur; instead it was more like a big pile of mousse. The crumbles however are very nice.
Make sure you make this your first preference when passing through Goulburn; everything is fresh and vibrant and for a long trip it’ll be just what you need. Plus I suspect the pizzas, if you come at the right time, would be spectacular.
