Their specialty is a loaf using potato in the sourdough mix. The bakery also sells full sized cakes, slices, foccacia, danishes and more. I love how all the product signs have handwritten names on them, showing care for all that they do. The sandwiches look amazing too! Grab a cookie with the soft centre, apple turnover or a lemon curd and pistachio snail! Put it on your Katoomba visit list.

The Buttery in Katoomba has hands down the best Bee Sting Cakes in the Blue Mountains. Believe me,…read moreyou will have Bee Sting mania on your mind as soon as you bite into the cream, custard, pastry and almond iced sugar combination. You can purchase a small $3.70 or a large bee sting cake $15 depending on the voraciousness of your appetite. The Cream Buns (yes, these beauties are endangered species so please purchase them whenever you can...to show your support) are the best I have ever tried. Ample cream, a real fruit bun that has a slight scone texture and a sweet raspberry jam. Heavenly for $3.50. They also do cheap egg and bacon rolls $5.70 and so long as you like firm eggs - these babies are a bargain. They have a wide range of pies but I would avoid the Vegetarian Pie which was blah. The reason why this review gets four stars is because I once bought a chocolate eclair from here which had burnt choux pastry. Which has the most horrible eggy taste and unfortunately I am unforgiving. They also have a beautiful chocolate torte and other beautiful French pastries and a window display of never ending treats. Please do not visit Katoomba without partaking in a taste of their delicious bee sting cake. It is better than sex.

The selection of cakes wasn't very big but they did have a nice selection of pies and sausage rolls. My son isn't a big pie fan but got the meat, cheese and bacon pie. Although he is 7 he said it was the best meal he's ever had and wants to go back for another pie someday. Parking isn't easy but a short walk from a block or 2 away and your here. The sausage rolls I had tasted great. The prices were decent. We had 2 cans of coke, 2 sausage rolls a pie, 3 tomato sauces and it was $13. I'll stop here in a few months when Im back in town.

Leura Health Foods is one of a tiny few stores left actually serving the local community. Even fewer since the Woolworths incursion that I still shudder at every time I go past. Doesn't belong. At all. Sigh. So it's a welcome thing to wander in here and find everyday service and real advice, as well as a way-better-than-average range of healthy goodies. From Tibetan incense to organic inca berries, wasabi powder and lots of gluten free foods not easy to source elsewhere up here, this little store is a fav. Not as pricey as you'd expect for Leura (although health food's never cheap) I love picking up something oddball and interesting. Rhino coffee this time (I'm a sucker for a good name). Not fancy. Not schmancy. Just good.

Still, I'm a big online fan because otherwise I can spend half a day looking for somewhere to eat. And the online menu does say they love people with allergies. However there is no mention of gluten or gluten free on the menu. Maybe this is related to the tightening of Australian rules into "gluten friendly" rather than gluten free. Since their specialty is hot sandwiches, I'm up in the air on the gluten front. If they will allow choosing from the sides and extras menu, that would be perfect. I also like how many of their prices have stayed reasonable, with five dollar coffees, I don't know if I can eat them but their egg sandwiches for Brekky look positively dreamy.

Overpriced lunch, even for Australia standards... skip the Kangaroo Burger (you'll thank me later)…read more It's an ok place to eat lunch. We were dropped off here by our Blue Mountains tour guide. I think for a little cheaper price, my review would be a little better. My veggie samosa plate was $16 AUS and had a side salad. With only two samosas...it was really a snack and not a meal. On our table were a few steak sandwiches, burgers, and the oh so enticing "Kangaroo Burger" on a black bun. I think there is a reason why Kangaroo is not widely served around the world, get the steak or regular burger, especially if it is your first time trying Kangaroo. FYI Kangaroo is really gamey and lean so your burger will be dry... guaranteed! There are very few other options in town, just a cafe, bakery, a few take away spots, grocery store and a fancier restaurant across the street (with equally poor reviews). It's convenient and the rest of the group was eating here, so it was a nice way to get to know them, but definitely had a little of the tourist trap vibe.
