But what happens when pancakes with bacon isn't on the menu? This is a common problem that we all face from time to time but luckily Willis Bakery is happy to take up the challenge for a mid morning breakfast. Fluffy, thick pancakes with a decent size portion of bacon and maple syrup to top it off. Staff very friendly and accommodating.

A pretty standard little bakery in downtown Merimbula. I went here a few times, mostly to pick up…read morelunch; typically sandwiches; once I tried a meat pie, which was OK (not sure how to rate this against others, since it was my only try) As for the food - Pretty average stuff here. Nothing special. Every time I came here the place was staffed by teenagers. Service on my visits was mostly sullen and bored. (which admittedly goes with the territory). Requests by me for a fresh-made sandwich (rather than the pre-made ones) were met by a sigh. (Maybe they don't pay them enough?) But the sandwiches and bread were good, so they more than met the need.

Lovely coffee & food! We planned to stop for coffee only,…read morebut the food in the chiller cabinet looked amazing so we had a slice of frittata as well!! The coffee was great and the frittata was delicious!! And we enjoyed it just as much as our first visit in September 2017! 20 September 2017 We stopped here for afternoon tea and really enjoyed our coffee and carrot cake. If we hadn't already had lunch we would have had one of the selections (sandwiches, wraps, savoury muffins) from the chiller cabinet. It all looked very fresh and delicious.

Sprouts is a nice little cafe/bakery in the whale-watching town of Eden. They are a popular spot so…read moreexpect a line up at peak times. There's a lot of healthy choices on the menu - I went for my beloved avocado toast and Sprouts makes a great version. It had tons of giant avocado chunks and was topped with seeds for a bit of crunch. The had a "lemon mint cordial" as a drink option so I had that & it was light and refreshing. Come here for a quick bite, a nice coffee or a bakery item. There is a large parking lot right behind the restaurant if you're driving.

Plenty of other things to browse as well after you've eaten, nursery, art gallery, museum. Well worth a visit.

Our party ate here on a few occasions for dinner when we felt like going someplace nicer than a pub, but not going too fancy either. The menu was small, but the food was pretty good. It's a shame that the service was on slow side. They were prompt to get our initial orders for drinks and meals but then left us alone for long stretches. On our last visit my beer glass (and others' wine glasses) sat empty for about 10 minutes before we eventually decided to flag someone down for refills. Decent variety on the menu here. On my last visit I tried the seafood medley in a light curry sauce. Nicely done and tasty, if a little small. For dessert I chose the chocolate tart, which was a little disappointing, since it was difficult to eat - The crust was tough enough to need a knife, but they had taken mine away with the meal (and the wait staff was again unavailable). In the end I had to wrestle it apart with my fork (with one piece, sadly, flying off the table). They seem to be doing some things right here, but also dropping the ball in other areas. Pier One gets an average rating from me.
