"Yes he is a scruffy fella, but he is a good cook and friendly. Well worth going there just to check out the beard. Food is good, very enjoyable lunch. Can get hard beverages there also if your heart desires. Sit inside or out."

"The atmosphere, the decor and staff are amazing!! It’s a credit to the boys that own the place. Best cuppa tea & hot chocolate in quorn!! Great range of clothing hats & candles. Highly recommend their tattoo butter that they make in house!!!"

"What an interesting and refreshing find in such a small country town such as Quorn..! Scruffy Fella... Fresh Barista Coffee and some sweet treats on offer... As well as other merch such as beard oil, candles and prepacked coffee and chai products... And the cafe is licensed, so if you're after something with a little more kick, then name your poison..! The only suggestion I can think of is our almond cappuccinos were on point for flavor, just a little too milky and not hot enough... They were luke warm by the time they hit our table... Definitely worth a visit when you pass thru or stay in Quorn! ***Update*** Thanks for the reply Scruffy Fella. I appreciate the feedback! I guess customer reviews are hopefully objective and based upon first impressions, which I definitely have a very high one of you and your business..! We'll definitely be back on our next visit to Quorn!"

"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."

"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."
