We came here for a late breakfast/early lunch. It is somewhat more of a refined cake and dessert…read moretype bakery, and the dessert items did look fabulous in the case. For breakfast however, it wasn't very good for me as there were very limited lower carb/higher protein items. We ordered an almond croissant and a sausage and shiraz roll along with a flat white coffee. We sat outside as they didn't have the AC running and it was really way too warm inside. They have table service inside and servers that run out the food you had ordered at the counter. They were all super friendly and even asked if everything was satisfactory as they cleared our table. Unfortunately, neither of the baked goods were great. The almond croissant had a nicely laminated dough although it needed a tad of salt. The dough was buttery however lacking flavor most likely due to a lack of salt in the butter they used in the dough. The filling was almost like really dense cake batter with basically no almond flavor - the texture seemed almost right, maybe they forgot the almond paste or almond extract. We are used to a much, much stronger flavored almond croissant with almond paste inside. There were nicely toasted almond slices on the top. The sausage roll was a real disappointment. Although it looked really nice it was very heavy, seemed greasy and had two fundamental flaws. The dough was too thick around the sausage so when they wrapped it and baked it there was way too much dough and it was actually nearly raw all along the bottom edges. The sausage was not crumbled or taken out of the casing so when you bit through the roll (or even cut it as we did) the entire sausage slipped right out of the dough and left a big empty hole! It did have nice caramelized onions and some herbs or spinach (didn't eat enough to know exactly!) between the dough and sausage - they might have contributed to the wet/raw sogginess of the dough if they were not cooked enough and then released water into the dough. They were very gracious when I asked if I could get a refund for the sausage roll as I could not find anything else I wanted to get as a replacement. Our server could not have been any more professional and nice about it. He got approval from his manager and gave us the refund. The flat white was very good. If I needed to eat some lovely desserts I'd give them another try given their professional staff and good service.

Our wine tasting experience at Coal Valley Vineyards left us craving something to eat, since we had…read morerushed to eat breakfast on board our cruise ship before leaving for this excursion, and luckily, the second part of our excursion brought us to historic Richmond, Tasmania. We parked in the lot of the Richmond Gaol Historic Site and first went into Sweets & Treats for Australian and New Zealand confections, then into this bakery. When we entered with my sisters, there weren't any customers, so I took my time to peer into their display cases, check out their menu, and take photos. Suddenly, a crowd and line formed behind me, and several counterhelpers began asking if I was ready to place my order. I ordered a Lamington, a Caramel Slice, and flat whites, while my husband, who had gotten "instructions" from my sisters, had his eyes on the meat pie of the day, a Curried Scallop pie, since he doesn't have a sweet tooth or is a chocoholic like me. While he paid for our snacks, I delivered the pie and pastries to the table where my two older sisters were waiting. I briefly stepped away from the table to help carry the four flat whites, get eating utensils and napkins, and set the table, as we planned to share the food among our foursome. But when I returned, my sisters and husband had broken into the curried scallop pie. I could smell the savoriness of the curry and a slight scent of seafood from the pie. They motioned to hurry back to the table to try a piece of the tasty pie. Indeed, the piece of pie they had broken off for me had a sturdy, flaky shortcrust, and its mild curry-flavored filling had oozed onto the parchment paper bag it had been packaged in. So, thanks to my family, I didn't take a cross-section picture of the luscious, tender, savory, and well-balanced Aussie meat, er, seafood pie, as it was too messy to show. But, trust me, Richmond Bakery captured the cultural significance and iconic status of this Australian "national dish." Anyway, the curry flavor made for a strange-tasting blend with our flat whites, so we quickly shared the Lamington and Caramel Slice. Both iconic Australian pastries had great texture, moisture, and sweetness, which paired so much better with our coffee beverages and my sweet tooth. The friendly service, clean, historical ambiance, authentic flavors, and reasonable pricing at Richmond Bakery are what make us want to return.

The thing to get here is ice cream. And only two types - the berry ice cream, or the cherry ice cream. Both were delicious. The ice cream was so smooth and creamy, but yet filled with so much fresh fruit. At $5, you get a decent size (enough for two to share). They do sell a whole bunch of other foods, including hot food. Notably scallop pies at $12. But these are all aimed at the gullible tourists who arrive not knowing what Pondering Frog is good for. Go for the ice cream, and maybe get seconds!

In a small, unassuming shop right off the main road, a few seats inside and a few seats outdoors.

You can grab some specialty coffee roasts from small, boutique batch roasters and some other at home coffee brewing items, plus lots of helpful advice and to get you going. They also do barista and coffee training... and it shows! Now the main thing you're going there for is the coffee. And it doesn't disappoint. Two sizes, usual options. Nice and strong without being bitter and immediately drinkable- it comes out at the perfect temperature. The staff remember you and what you order, and always greet you by name. Easily the beat coffee in Kingston.

There was even two tour buses in the parking lot. We dropped in on a Saturday afternoon (around 12:30pm).

It tasted like a chicken pot pie without the chicken. Great crunchy, flaky texture. Will need to try more of these. - Vanilla slice ($5.50 AUD) - our other friend told us these are great in Ozzy. She let us sample; light and creamy. Yum. - Korma curry vegetable ($5.90 AUD) - potato, pumpkin, carrot, peas, spinach, onion, cauliflower, zucchini and sweet potato.
