The classic post lap cafe at Thredbo. Prices are what you would expect, but what really makes this place great is the staff and their service. Always friendly and efficient, their attitudes significantly contribute to keeping the stoke high. Special shout out to Elliot, he couldn’t be better. Would recommend the croissants and chicken pies.

A gnarly cafe with heaps of atmosphere and the warmest service. Fresh pies are amazing with meaty chunks and thick gravy. Croissants are warm with melting cheese. Must give it a go when in Thredbo.

I visited Avalanche Café around 3 PM and had a really enjoyable experience. It’s a small and cozy little café right behind the Thredbo card kiosk with toilets nearby, making it super convenient. We ordered a veggie burger and a cheeseburger, both of which were freshly prepared and delicious,the veggie burger was hearty and satisfying while the cheeseburger had that perfect comforting balance of flavor. They also had freshly made donuts available, which added a sweet bonus to the meal and showed how much care they put into their food. The staff were absolutely lovely, warm and welcoming, and their friendliness made the visit even more enjoyable. Overall, Avalanche Café offers fresh food, great service, and a relaxed atmosphere that makes it a perfect stop in Thredbo.
