The staff are friendly snd engaging, cleaning constantly so that there is no wait for the outdoor seating. If you are seeking a wholesome meal after morning spent at the nearby beach you should definitely pop in for a snack or sweet treat. You will not be disappointed. The middle size portion of cauliflower "fried rice" salad was perfect for a hungry girl (me)! My hubs was completely satisfied by the organic, grass fed hamburger and even raved about it the next day (!!), this from a man who is hard to please when it comes to burgers, if that tells you anything. If visiting Aldinga and wanting something fresh, delicious, and different than the usual fish and chips stop in and give it a go.

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.

The menu is basic with burgers and wraps getting a strong showing but don't let that turn you off as they all taste great. If you have kids this is a really great venue as well. I just wish I lived closer to this gem as a typical visit takes a 20min drive for me

It cost $99. First was wagu croquette, basically a crumbed mushy puree, then salty and pepper squid, which was okay, then overcooked whiting dripping in grease, a mediocre salad of winter vegetables, some chips and overcooked roast potato portions. Also a small plate of sliced wagu to share. No desserts, no cheeses, no coffee, no choices. And there goes $99 Per person. Having said that the service was good. If it did not have the beachfront location you wouldn't bother.

While it is pretty casual inside the food is much more than you might expect from what looks like a shack on the beach. We enjoyed the fish of the day, grilled served with a few chips and salad. We also shared a tomato salad entree and some bread. Food was fresh, high quality and perfectly prepared. Portions were very reasonable - this is not a place where you need to order an appetizer instead of a main course to avoid over eating. Service was very warm and welcoming and you just can't beat the view. If you want to eat inside away from the heat, advance reservations are essential. Recommended.

Unfortunately coffee isn't the best I've ever had but it's not the worst. I tried the cinnamon tea cake, it was okay but I'm not sold on it. Customer service out standing, lady who served me was friendly and welcoming and informative of the selection of cakes (side note - they have delicious GF options for those who live GF). The shop itself, I see what they are trying to do with the vintage look and it's kinda cute and quirky. I will come back mainly to try their all day breakfast menu on offer! I'll add to my review when that happens.

The Old Vine Cafe is a coffee shop / bar / restaurant in "Old Aldinga". It is positioned close to…read morethe intersection between Old Coach Rd and Quinliven Rd, and there is plenty of free parking at the cafe or next door in the open & unmarked lot. We popped in for a quick afternoon coffee one weekend and there was a local singer/songwriter providing free entertainment for diners. The building is a beautiful heritage cottage that has been tastefully renovated inside. There is a substantial garden out the back for outdoor dining. We had one soy cappucino and a doppio (double piccolo latte) and they were fine, a bit milky but filled a need. The folk in the annexed dining room sounded like they were having a great time. I'd like to return to experience that first hand.

Then again, the dog aside (which is hard to ignore mind you, especially since it seems to be perpetually hungry), they also have some absolutely awesome beers here, but then again it is a craft brewery.

One afternoon when heading on a joy ride to Normanville we passed through the charming historical…read moretown of Myponga. High on the old butter factory facade - a welcome beacon calling us within it's walls. A fluffy, smiling Samoyed face. Even better was the encouraging word that sealed the deal, 'brewery'! Smiling Samoyed Brewery has been lovingly transformed from it's former life as Myponga Brewery by husband and wife Simon Dunstone and Kate Henning. The charming rustic-styled barn opened in November 2012, and was listed in Adelaide Now's Top 10 Beer Gardens in December 2013. The namesakes act as the welcoming committee, usually lounging in the front gardens. Wrap around verandas provide a variety of seating styles for groups large & small, sun worshippers and the pink-prone. From the back verandah there is a panoramic view of the Myponga reservoir which hosts golden sunsets, swans and the occasional kangaroo. The brewery itself is visible from inside, through large picture windows, and it's produce available on tap, as take away, and on some of the most unique and hand made tasting paddles I've had the fortune to come across. All of the beers we tried were great. The Dark Ale has coffee and chocolate flavours and nice light hop bitterness to clean it up. The 12 Paws American Pale Ale has medium hop-bitterness with nice maltiness that makes it refreshing in the sun. The First Batch American Pale Ale had more floral notes, including banana flower. Wood fired pizzas laden with local produce, like Alexandrina Cheese, are the specialty here. The pizzas are a good size, with nice wood oven char on the crust but not too bubbled or charred. In true Italian style the toppings aren't overwhelmed by cheese making this a healthier than normal option. The woodfired pizzas are ably supported by tasting platters with the season's & region's finest, like Adelaide Hills avocados, metwurst, Alexandrina carraway Gouda, and salt & pepper calamari. All is fresh and flavoursome, the calamari crunchy, sweet and tender. Before or after dining & taking in the live music & views over the reservoir, take some time to wander through the old butter factory markets. There are books, antiques, tools, home made jams and crafts, hot chilli sauces, an art gallery and local eggs.
