3. Box Diner uses fresh herbs, local eggs from
happy, free-range chooks, beef from Hereford
cattle who thrive on tasty grass, and artisan
breads from a nearby bakery made with little or
no preservatives. The Canberra café’s jams,
marmalades and relishes come from Boorowa’s
Walsh Country Kitchen and are made with love
from regional fruits and vegetables.

Canberra business people, tradespeople and
staff from local businesses arriving for a

6. Those who prefer savoury options can’t go wrong with a
toasted croissant, with tomato and cheese or ham and
cheese, or the bacon and egg roll with tangy BBQ sauce.
Those with a sweet tooth adore the crepes - a traditional
lemon and sugar, as well as apple and cinnamon or
hazelnut and chocolate.

7. Vegetarians regularly opt for the Herbivore - open range
eggs, avocado, fried haloumi, roast tomato, mushrooms
and spinach. Meat lovers dive into the Carnivore with
Smokey bacon and spicy chorizo. And the café’s Big Box
Breakfast, as its name implies, promises ‘the lot’.

8. While some daytime Canberra cafes stop serving food
mid-morning to prep for lunch or mid-afternoon to close
down, Box Diner has delicious ‘all day’ options. Try the
rice paper rolls (Thai omelette or chicken) - an instant
success when the diner first opened - or the Moorish pot
pies. Paninis, house-baked focaccia and toasted baguettes
(3” and 9”) can be ordered all day at the cafe and Box
Diner’s home-baked sweets are fabulous.
