Their Artisan bread and pastries are made in store and are pretty popular, so be sure to get there early. It's a small spot with minimal decor and only a few tables to eat at, so it's best to grab what you want as takeaway. Do you prefer their silo sourdough, rye sourdough volkornbrot, kingston, white sourdough, stirato crusty italian bread, french style white baguette, ciabattini small italian style square rolls or french style roll? So many to pick from. I buy a loaf of the walnut and cranberry for later, can't wait to eat it! Maybe you're a croissant fan - plain croissants, almond croissants, butter brioche, pain au chocolate, Orange & Pistachio Snail, Custard & Raisin or our pick of the day, the "Evie" - apple, almond & raisin in croissant pastry. Crispy and super tasty. They also have a rhubarb galettes and pear galettes From the savoury options there's quiche, pies and sausage rolls and boreks as well as sandwiches. You can even eat in at their cafe with omelettes, eggs, French toast or muesli and a coffee.

I ordered toast with olive caramel. The olive caramel was delicious! Not too salty and not too sweet. I asked the guy I at the counter what it was like and the cook came out and described it to me. I appreciated that extra attention. My companions ordered toast with avocado and salmon and a couple of muffins. All were delicious. The salmon was generous, as was the avocado. We also got coffee. Everything was lovely. We'll be back when we are strolling the foreshore again!

They don't mess around with the spice here - the chili peppers on the menu are a good indicator of spice level, but you can adjust the level of heat if you ask your server. We tried the Drunken Noodles at regular spicy level (3 chili peppers on the menu), and it was indeed spicy...in fact, it was too spicy for some of the older relatives in our group. The dish itself was very tasty, but the heat really added up. The interior decor is lovely and there's a nice outdoor patio area as well. Service was a bit slow, but very friendly. Great meal overall!
