Located inside Vintage and Rustics, the Remember When Cafe is a step back in time and a place where good food and nostalgia come together. The café occupies the original lunch counter space that once served customers at Woolworths, and later at Ben Franklin, preserving a meaningful piece of local history.

After the building was purchased in 2016 by Vicki and Mark Leesburg, the lunch counter returned to life as the Remember When Cafe. Today, guests can still enjoy meals at the original Woolworths countertops, surrounded by a warm, retro diner atmosphere that feels as comfortable as grandma’s kitchen.

Serving breakfast and lunch, the Remember When Cafe is known for hearty, satisfying meals that leave no one hungry. The menu features delicious, unique offerings made to be enjoyed slowly and shared with friends. Just as important as the food is the experience — the café prides itself on having some of the friendliest staff in town, welcoming every guest like family.

Whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite or settling in for a relaxed meal, the Remember When Cafe offers comfort, history, and hospitality in every visit.
