Cute little bakery with delicious baked goods and simple dishes (sandwiches, quiches, salad, etc)…read more Everything was fresh and seemed pretty healthy. There is indoor and outdoor seating available, altho indoor seating was a bit limited (especially for tables; plenty of bar/stool seating). Free still & sparkling tap water available. This place is perfect for a bite after a rigorous bike ride or hike. Service staff is friendly (like all of Aus that I've encountered). Not open everyday so check the hours before you go! Ordered the spinach, ricotta and feta pie with a side of daily salad (green bean and a bunch of other veggies in vinaigrette dressing). The pie came with a side of homemade chutney and the serving size was pretty big (for a pie). Even though it was filled with cheese, it didn't feel heavy in the stomach. My partner ordered the sausage apple roll (made from free-range Victorian Pork) and it was the biggest sausage roll I've seen. Jam packed with quality meat and also served with a side of homemade chutney.

Delicious. Eclectic. Quaint. The pastry chef should be commended. The pastries are world class. The…read morebreads, home made jams etc are perfection. The staff baristas can make a good cup of coffee. Highly recommended!!

What a gem of a bakery. My husband did a motorbike trip with his mate and stumbled upon this place…read more He's been here 3 times since and only now he has taken me! Sausage rolls, pizza, veggie pie, sweet treats and everything sourdough! Staff were ever so friendly and were able to help with taste profiles so that it would pair well with making a Camembert toastie! The ambiance is very quaint and I loved reading about the history of the bakery. If you're around Daylesford, make a trip here for lunch and have a walk around town!

WOW. What a gem. I…read moreread about an amazing sourdough bakery in Trentham, so decided to try Red Beard on the way home from Daylesford (about a 20 min drive). What a great decision. The sourdough is fantastic - certified organic and baked in a wood fired oven - tasted unlike any I had tried before. I went home with the Blonde (described as a 'crusty Vienna load who'll go home with anyone') and the most perfect fruit bun. Next time, I'll be the Redhead (the traditional tin loaf) and the pumpkin thatch (and maybe more fruit buns). Loaves are around $6 to $8. Breakfast at Red Beard is delicious. We had the best Eggs Benedict that we've ever had - beautifully buttered sourdough topped with amazing ham, perfectly poached eggs and a thin but creamy hollandaise. Bliss. Nice coffee too. Beautiful courtyard outside for a relaxing summer's day. Oh, and the cakes looked divine (e.g. rich vanilla slice, beesting, dense & rich carrot cake). If you're keen, you can also book in for a guided tour or baking workshop (the latter comes with a bottomless coffee, food, a bag of organic flour and your own creations). I'm adding this to my list for next time, for sure.

Then again these country cafes have been around for somewhat longer, and tend to be rather delightful. The service actually was pretty good, and the atmosphere quite relaxing.

CUTE! I loved this bakery. Everything you could imagine a bakery to have, and all signs lead me…read moreto believe that the pastries are locally made. My partner in crime and I stopped off to grab a bite to eat after a few disappointing house inspections and the spinach and ricotta roll went a long way to helping to put me in a better mood. This small, but well-stocked, bakery is tucked in a service road, and in between some real estate offices. If you blink, you'll most likely miss it as signage is minimal. There are a few tables and chairs out the front so that you can kick back and enjoy the surroundings of this quaint country-ish town. I hope I have another reason to pass through Riddells Creek to give something else a try. If I don't, I might make a reason.

It's everything your little heart could desire on a work lunch break. I popped in last week for a takeaway lunch of a spinach and ricotta pastry and lemon meringue pie (oh my goooood!) and I just had to go back. This time I sat in and ordered a coffee and a chicken cotoletta (basically schnitzel) which was served with a delicious salad of greens and tomatoes with buffalo mozzarella and a sticky balsamic dressing and fresh bread on the side. It was WAY too much food more me and I could have easily shared it someone. The whole meal cost me $15.50 and was worth every penny. My only regret is that I didn't leave any room for the divine looking cakes they had on display! But I've learned my lesson for next time.

So Pane E Latte. What can I say about this place? Well let's start with some background data shall…read morewe? I am an American on holiday. I did not know what to expect from this place and just found it on a regular stroll about the locale. Was I satisfied? Well quite so. I walk right in no knowing what is what and was greeted by a nice young lady. The place was small but quaint. I kind of liked it. It felt very welcoming and friendly. I ordered a simple black coffee and a spinach and cheese pastry type dish. Said order same out to me, note being I sat outside as it was a very nice day, promptly and for which I did not have to wait long. Coffee was a tad on the smaller side but was sufficient. The spinach and cheese pastry was nice. I quite enjoyed the dish but it didn't leave a lasting memory. Coffee, despite the size, was respectable. Definitely not the best I have had but far from the worst. I went back in and had an iced coffee and that too was brought to me outside and was just as nice. Much more than was I expected. I was expecting a simple iced coffee. Case in point an iced coffee that I was accustomed too is the same as a regular coffee just cold. This was much more. It was like a shake with ice cream on top. Will I complain about this break from normality? No I will not. I liked it a good deal. It just threw me for a curveball. What else can I complain about? Well, since it was the first time I was at this location I asked for recommendations and did not get any. Is this a big deal? Well, it is a double edged sword. On one hand it is a sign that everything may be good but on the other hand it may be that the location does not have its own identity. What selection is great here? What will be a good order considering I don't know what is good here? I do not know. I did not get a recommendation. I walked in blind seeking guidance and was left still blind. I don't know if I experienced everything this place had to offer or if I should return wanting more. It may be a minor gripe to you but to me it is rather important. I like knowing what a place has to offer. I like to asking for a recommendation and trying said recommendation to see if it was indeed a correct choice. Pane E Latte was indeed a nice place. Walking in I had a nice experience. I just wish they had the wow factor that I desired. Tell me what is good. Guide me to experience the best that you offer. That little extra step goes a long way in the eyes of the guest. If you make us feel like you want us to experience the best you have to offer we will come back to see the rest. What I experienced was, although nice, not enough to make me go out of my way to return and see more of what can be offered.

Lunch- I had beautiful salsa with corn fritters ( bacon optional) value for money-5, taste-5 not oily or dense at all, tasty, sexy, just scrumptious!!!!!! Snacks- peanut butter bliss ball. Yes nuff said Cake- you know those orange cakes with edible flowers on top. Yes they have lots of those and all their friends too. I am talking bout a good 20 selection of beautiful fresh and delicate looking cakes. Not your local deli sponge cake or frozen cheesecake. No siree What else - how about fresh baked baguettes and bread, house made cookies and biscuits??? Don't forget the small selection of foodie things on their shelf that you can buy . Honey, preserves. Ohmygatrrtrrdfddd Someone tell them they are seriously undercharging. Awesome food awesome chef awesome everything!
