Five stars for a cake shop, so you know it's going to be good…read more I stumbled across the Ettalong Cake Shop by accident while looking for a swift pre-wedding snack, and I'm glad I did. It was so good, I went back the next morning for a post-wedding mid-hangover breakfast. However, to be honest, when I entered, I thought I may have erred badly. The slightly gruff service and clipped interaction did not bode well I thought, but to my surprise, the pie and cake I purchased on my first visit were among the best I have ever had. Not the best, not going to go close, but still deserving of a five star rating. And cheap for tings so good and so big! I got a pie, cake and drink for somewhere between $10 and $12, but not sure exactly. I wish my local pie purveyor in Melbourne was so inclined..... Pro tip: get your pies and drinks, and then walk to the beach or one of the seats along the promenade so you can watch the world go by. The Central Coast of NSW is without a doubt God's country, and the view will enhance the experience. The hangover pie was tactical mastery on my part, and I believe the only thing that prevented me from dieing on the train back to Sydney. Ettalong Cake Shop: worth a special journey. If you find yourself near Woy Woy for any reason, get the hell out of Woy Woy and detour to Ettalong. You will not regret it.

Most of it was empty though, so we had our pick of seats. Order at the bar and pick up your food when your buzzer goes off. Had the steak special with fries, chicken sandwich and substituted onion rings, and the satay chicken pizza. Pizza is wood-fired with lots of cheese. I couldn't taste any satay sauce, but I think Australian pizza tends to not be very saucy generally.

My toast came without butter, when I asked for butter, I saw the employee pick up a cube of butter out of a container with his fingers and place it in a small plate (this is the same guy taking orders and handling money), Poached eggs were over poached and not runny. I paid to add bacon to my meal and got 1 strip. They only reasons you should visit this place are: 1) if you have to eat organic food. 2) if your staying at the Crowne Plaza and can't walk far. Otherwise there are plenty of better places to eat behind the main street or walk down to the far end of the main strip.

Fish was fresh, battering was light and not greasy or oily. It was about $30 and definitely fed 4 people. Decor is nothing to speak of, but the food hits the spot.

For six weeks this is where I got the only decent coffee in the area each morning. Many mornings we enjoyed a breakfast worthy of any of the best cafes in the big cities. Even Jimmy's take-a-way lunches came in handy when I need to take one to work. But dinner...! That was the surprise. No, it's not a fancy restaurant and this isn't fine dining so let's not get carried away. This is a cafe by day, so it's the same by night but with food to surprise. Leaning on Jame's Italian heritage (yes, he introduced himself to me the evening I was there) the fare has some of that ethnic bent but it's very much a fusion menu.

So the choice is you can make my coffee correctly for an extra charge or you can give me a diluted cup of warm milk?? This sets the real idea of the cafe, that they do no know anything about coffee. My husband and I used this coffee shop every day when commuting at 5/6 am when nothing else was open, but the coffee is so inconsistent, one day I could tolerate it because otherwise I would fall asleep at the wheel but after that it was too much. The coffee is watery, weak and never made correctly. Most likely because it is badly managed you have a person taking orders who also prepares food so when she is off in fairy land the barista is taking coffee orders with one hand and making them with an other.. May I suggest that they try one of their large coffees and see that it's an art form and if they did it properly they may actually make some money or customers?
