Mietta's Review
Styled as a cultural centre, this European type cafe serves fairly standard, but wholesome food. There is live music and readings on winter evenings. Weekend breakfasts are also popular and feature gigantic sized fry-ups.

Canberra Times David Burke, 6-12-06 "FEW ESTABLISHMENTS in Canberra enjoy such a popular reputation as Tilley's Devine Cafe in Lyneham. It's a credit to owner Pauli Higgison that Tilley's has remained a popular haunt and dining spot that has earned fans from all over the world. One crucial element that Tilley's is renowned for is the long list of musical acts and many still phone up in the hope of playing there. ... Tilley's Devine Cafe remains an iconic venue where the unique ambience is the main ingredient. Every Canberran should visit this retro establishment at least once for its cultural and symbolic significance alone. It offers a special something that some cafes will never quite achieve."
