My boyfriend had the most amazing cake at his 21st birthday and after discovering that he ordered it from Heidelberg's, without hesitation I decided to order one for my own 21st birthday party. Heidelberg Cakes produces made-to-order cakes, specialising in weddings and parties. There are a variety of cake flavours, which are all amazingly delicious and in order to help you decide what flavour you want, they offer free samples of their cakes. I ended up going for the chocolate and caramel cake. There are also a huge number of themes and designs to choose from, which was great for me as I had a themed birthday party. The service was also top notch and very professional. My cake was also delivered by Heidelberg's staff to the party's venue, just before it started. All of my guests greatly enjoyed the cake, and I can't wait until I have another occaision which calls for me ordering a cake from Heidelbergs!

This cafe has heaps of comfy seating and a good range of foccacia's to nosh on at lunchtime. There's lots of wood and wicker seating out front with shady umbrellas, and I would recommend sitting outside because the chairs inside squeak on the floor so bad I started grinding my teeth. Now, the biscuits: I had coconut macarons, lime shortbread, and coffee florentines, and they were too delicious to believe, try them for yourself. As soon as you place a coffee order they bring you a water glass on a whimsical silver platter, as if to say 'cleanse your palate lady, you're in for a ride.' The atmosphere is somewhat helped by the charismatic pastry chef, but at the end of the day, it's all about the cakes. And they're damn good cakes.

Open only on Saturdays and Sundays, Wendy makes a small selection of handcrafted choccies and sweets. My favourites- the donuts filled with raspberry and lemon curd, original brownies, speckle sticks, macarons . The list goes on. All her cakes are divine, I've lost track how many I've eaten. Chocolate lovers will die and goto heaven, they use some very different flavours but they all work perfectly. If I can't choose then the honeycomb and milk chocolate block is a winner, as is the pistachio and Turkish delight and the popcorn, honeycombed and milk choccy combo. If you are down south and Fleurieu bound on the weekends visiting here is a no brainer. This cute shop will transport you to patisserie heaven!

Elbio has been baking speciality treats and desserts since 1976 - originally known as "The King of…read moreCroissants' he diversified into making gorgeous pastries and sweet little delicacies, and has truly perfected his art. Situated on the edge of an industrial estate, Elbio features a small store at the front of the factory selling direct to the public, and has recently opened a café section. Arrange ahead and you can take a tour of the factory, seeing the operation from start to finish while the staff prepare thousands of gourmet treats before your eyes - Elbio's now sells direct to restaurants and café's all over Australia, a testament to the quality of the goods prepared in this South Australian iconic business. Baked goods vary from caramel tarts, lemon meringue pies, lemon tartlets, coconut macaroons, and include dedicated offerings only available from Elbio's, such as Chaja's (a ball of caramel, sponge and peaches, rolled in chunks of meringue) and Massini Chantilly (a luscious Chantilly cream served between layers of tender sponge cake, topped with a flame caramelized coating). Nearly all the offerings come in both a small bite size serving, ideal for cocktail parties, or and individual serve perfect for dinner parties or dessert. Many favourites can also be prepared in a party size, or as a cake to serve as many as you need - often a solution for birthdays and other celebrations. Elbio's desserts are a thrill to both the eyes, and the tastebuds - come in and have a fresh made coffee and sample some of the treasures here, or pick up a variety of goods to take home. Very much recommended.

I was so astonished and mind-blown by the arrays of magnificent-looking choices I only bought a vanilla slice because my head was spinning. It was utterly wonderful, so the next day I went back, bought a gluten-free chocolate brownie because it was the only choccy brownie I saw, and a chocolate croissant. Snarfed the entire croissant that evening figuring the brownie would last better in the fridge. Today, after almost 24 hours and cold from its brown bag in the fridge, it's still got to be the chocolatiest, richest, tastiest brownie I've had in many a long year (& I'm a lot closer to 80 than the last time I had any shop-bought baked treat this wonderful.) Not much to say about the ambiance because such impressive baked goods outshone everything else, though the interior did seem as clean, bright and shiny as it should be and the service was cheerful, prompt and helpful especially given how busy they were in waves. I was also tickled to see the treats for littlies, from tiny rainbows with clouds at both ends, to unicorns to a Minion an adult fan I know would love. I do expect to get to try their meat pies as well, but again, haven't yet been able to make up my mind which to try first. This review is only "pretty epic" because the bakery is!

In fact, they generally are cheaper than most other bottle shops. Depending on the product. But if you are a craft beer lovers (like myself) you will notice the difference in price. If you love wine, you will be excited to know that unlike large bottle shop chains, you will find boutique South Australian wines here. Some wineries are very particular on where they sell their produce. This is one of those very lucky destinations. But this isn't just a bottle shop/cellar, it's also a lovely café and patisserie (as the name suggests). You will find a lovely range of pastries, cakes, sweets, sandwiches, pizzas, and salads. All of them are gourmet and special. Last time I had lunch here I picked up a great special, a slice of pizza and coffee for $10. The pizza was great. It was pre-made and heated. But, it was still quality with smoked salmon, capers, and veggies. Great quality base as well! As for the coffee, I am not entirely convinced they have their in-house blend right. But, I am always willing to try it again. My barista overheated the milk as well. Oh well... Last thing to mention is the range of crockery & home wares available instore on the back wall. Very nice selection of designer pieces. So worth looking at if you are after a gift or wanting something spesh for home!

On a family size dinner table setup with unlimited Sweets, Scones, French Savoury Pastries, Traditional English Finger Sandwiches and Unlimited Artisan Tea and Coffee" Having recently moved back to Adelaide from interstate, I wanted to treat the special ladies in my life this Christmas, and so I jumped at the chance to attend this event today, and booked a table. Although the sweet treats served tasted beautiful, I was extremely disappointed that we were served just one scarcely filled cake stand of treats between all seven of us to have with our beverages. No Scones, Savoury Pastries, or Finger Sandwiches as advertised - although other tables were served these. What was supposed to be a lovely treat left me upset and regretting the hundreds of dollars spent on a few coffees, teas, cupcakes, tarts and macarons.

I was confused by the names of the menu items , but was able to read the description. I first tried a pasty. We do not have these in California or anything that compares to the flakey buttery crust with the delicious fillings. This meat pie was mouthwateringly good. Needless to say I went here a couple times during my visit. I was pleased to find out that this location is mom and pop run for over 20 years. The lines go out the door and down the street when everything is fresh. I was also told I needed to get the kitchnerbun for dessert. This was a huge pastry with whipped cream flowing out of the center. There were so many things to try in so little time. I finished off this treat with a coffee milk. ( see pictures) There isn't much parking, side streets are easiest. There isn't much dining room either, may I suggest the short walk to the picnic tables by the beach to enjoy your meal. The locals seem to just hang out outside and talk while they eat their meals. If I'm ever back in this area again, I will be dining here.
