Oh boy… do I have another hidden gem for you ✨
If you’re in Mareeba and driving past The Big Hat QLD, make sure you pull in — trust me on this one.
You’d be forgiven for thinking this unassuming little building is just somewhere to buy hats… and yes, you can — but step inside and you’ll discover so much more. It’s a beautiful little oasis filled with stunning clothing, thoughtful gifts, lush nursery greens and now, a lovely café tucked right amongst it all.
We kept it simple with pastries this visit (and they were spot on), but the waffle menu looked absolutely divine and is already on our list for next time.
One of those places you stumble across and instantly want to linger a little longer 🌿
