A New Chapter For A Gulgong Favourite

Beryl’s Café isn’t just about great coffee and food - it’s about creating a space where locals and visitors alike can feel at home. Located in the heart of Gulgong, this charming café is the new venture of Olivia Probyn-Shingles, a hospitality professional with a deep love for connection and community.

For Olivia, owning Beryl’s Café is more than a business; it’s a dream come true. After spending years in hospitality, from the remote outback town of White Cliffs to local pubs and even council work, she always knew she wanted something of her own. When the much-loved Mayne St Café came up for sale in Gulgong, she didn’t hesitate. “I was a regular customer and always felt at home there,” she says. “I wanted to keep that feeling alive for the locals who, like me, had made it their go-to spot.”

Beryl’s Café is all about comfort - whether it’s a quiet moment with a perfectly brewed iced latte, a lively chat with friends, or a warm welcome from familiar faces. Olivia has made it her mission to continue the sense of community that the previous owners fostered, ensuring regulars still have a place to gather, and visitors feel instantly at ease.

The café has quickly gained a reputation for two things: sunflowers and burgers. While the bright, cheerful sunflowers add a vibrant touch to the space, it’s the old-school, no-fuss hamburgers that have customers coming back for more. “Nothing fancy - just a good, classic burger done right,” Olivia says with a smile.

Alongside her famous burgers, Beryl’s Café also offers catering options for those looking to bring a taste of homemade goodness to their events. Whether it’s a casual gathering, workplace lunch, or special occasion, Olivia and her team are dedicated to providing delicious, fresh, and comforting food that brings people together. 

Owning her own café still feels surreal, but Olivia is embracing every moment. With a strong focus on hospitality, a welcoming atmosphere, and simple yet delicious food, Beryl’s Café is set to become a Gulgong favourite for years to come. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, a visit to Beryl’s Café is sure to feel like home.
