Mum, Dad and I stopped in here for a coffee on while on a sunday drive…read more The walls are adorned with local artists work and the collection that was on display today was almost all sold. Dad had a coffee and a slice of carrot cake, while mum and I chose to have something more substantial. (Dessert is substantial right?) Mum ordered the three cheese souffle which was served with what I can only describe as a beetroot terrine. The souffle was yum and now I'm tempted to try and make it at home, as well as the beetroot terrine. Layers of beetroot and beetroot jelly. I ordered the shiraz poached pear served with vanilla ice cream. This dish was also yum but seeing as the menu seemed to be favouring local produce I was expecting more. I felt that the dish was served with too much of the poaching liquid I would have liked it to be strained as biting into a bay leaf wasn't all the appetising. That said the pear was yummy and a I enjoyed the meal. I just would have liked the pear to have been cored so I didn't have to eat around the pips and I would have prefered home made ice cream. Some of the best milk in the area could really be utilised here. Would I come back? Absolutely! Would I expect less than the menu seems to promote? Yes, and it will be enjoyable.

I pretty much just stumbled across this place as I was making my way through the back streets from…read moremy friends house to the shopping centre. Needless to say, as soon as I discovered this place I stopped, jumped out, and grabbed a coffee. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to grab some breakfast, but I did grab what turned out to be an awesome coffee. Yeah, my gut feeling turned out to be correct, this place was awesome, but then again many of the awesome coffee shops happen to be located in the back streets, much like this one.

We waited over half an hour for a pre-made sandwich, only to be told the order had been forgotten…read more The waitress apologised, though it didn't feel very sincere. When I asked for a refund, it took quite a while and only the sandwich was refunded, not the coffees we'd had while waiting. The food in the display cabinet looked fairly average, so perhaps it was just as well we didn't wait any longer. Overall, a disappointing experience and not one I'd return for.

A jewel on the Yorke Peninsula…read more We were taking a day trip and looking for a pie shop. Most of the pie shops have closed and rest of the pubs' kitchens were closed between meal hours. Marie's was the only place open in Yorketown and even though we arrived past business hours we were welcomed like we were entering someone's home. Even though most of the pies were were sold they had several left and they were nothing short of spectacular. The three of us shared a Singapore beef pie, butter chicken pie, sausage roll, and my new favorite a cheese Kransky (a kielbasa sausage with cheese and kraut within a puff pastry). They came to our table served with a homemade green salad and possibly the most spectacular potato salad I have ever experienced. They also had homemade jams and Rocky Road with several unique flavors, all with macadamia nuts. This now serves a new problem...the length of drive to eat here again.

I feel like I've been going for lunch here forever. This is the place I eat and talk to my dad that…read moreI rarely see and I remember the food, staff and experiences very fondly. The atmosphere is excellent. It's great to sit down, have an iced coffee and enjoy the view of the ocean. It can get pretty busy but there always seems to be somewhere to squeeze in and the quieter hours are lovely. The staff is so friendly and willing to help. They'll take your order with a smile and the drinks and food come out relatively fast. It's easy to get along with the people here and there will often be a couple dogs sitting outside enjoying the fresh air with their owners. The food is the best part though. Always fresh, hot and delicious just like it should be. I've tried many different parts of the menu and my three favorites are the eggs benedict, a hot dog with the lot and their amazing chicken burger. Their breakfast meals are always available and everything is filling enough not to be left hungry. My only problem is trying to pick what to have! A true five star place with local charm, excellent food, great views and a guaranteed good time.

The thing about this place is that it sort of feels more like a takeaway shop as opposed to a café…read more Well, it is sort of café as well since you can sit here and indulge in a pot of tea, but the also have a number of other things on offer that you generally don't find in your average fish and chip outlets. Yeah, this place was rather nice, and being close to the beach as well also helps, but that is probably why it happens to be one of those takeaway places.
