Great atmosphere, These guys have put their love of people and coffee and made thier coffee shop into an icon of the town well worth coming in for a coffee. Not only do they sell coffee they sell mens grooming products and different room scents candles etc. They also sell various alcohol products. Guarantee once you have come in for a visit you will be wanting to come back again and again.

Great spot for a caffeine hit in Quorn- or for a delicious hot chocolate. Some gorgeous dogs which were very well behaved and demanded the attention they deserved- just look at those beautiful coats! It is a very popular spot so do be prepared to wait a little bit- but it’s worth it! Recommend sitting outside if it’s a nice sunny day but otherwise it’s a very calming spot inside.

Wow! Who’d thunk eh? What a find in the regional town of Quorn? This place is an eclectic collectors dream with bizarre and intriguing items. Coffee is good, great and friendly atmosphere and great cakes, cookies and GF choices! Loved the experience!!!

Hipster vibe meets Flinders Ranges country community. Best coffee since Adelaide (or maybe even Melbourne!), with great service and terrific ambience. This is a real find on our track north and gives some real character to the lovely town of Quorn. The team at Scruffy really look the hipster part and are great to chat to. Lots of merch to buy and the coffee is really good. No hot foods, but lots of biscuits and cake to add to your coffee. Bonus is the barber next door and the heaps of beard products!

Called into The Scruffy Fella for my second time back in June. Left with an awesome cup of coffee on a really cold day as well as a Scruffy Fella tshirt and hat and tin mugs. A great selection of eclectic movie memorabilia. Was well worth the stop over on our way through. Was great to have a chat with Nigel. Quorn is a great place to visit especially from a historic view. One of the many highlights of my trips through outback South Australia.
