Terrific country bakery! We had a wonderful lunch at this…read morecountry bakery!! The bacon & egg roll with coffee special is unbeatable and really hits the spot. Thumbs up for the cookes and the friendly staff! No wonder it's the most popular lunch spot in town!

When travelling across the wide brown land, I tend to stop at a lot of bakeries. After a while they…read moreall blur into one (aside from the occasional reeealy good pie or pasty). The Morning Loaf Bakery in Keith is an exception. Walking in from the Dukes Highway side, you wouldn't even know it was a bakery. The main dining area better represents a shrine to retro, with a larger than life James Dean poster cooly staring across at you. Beyond the dining area lies the traditional bakery with all the normal pie warmers and pastry displays. The pies and pasties whilst being small are well priced and very tasty. I also tried an apricot slice, which was loaded with real apricots (probably the best apricot slice I've ever had). Adjoining the dining area is a retro lounge room, kitted out with all sorts of old school furniture, art and appliances. Pretty sure it's the first time I've ever had lunch in a 60s/70s living room, in a bakery. As if that wasn't enough, for those big interstate drives they also offer free tea and coffee to all customers. There really is no good reason to not stop in Keith.

There seems to be a number of places that my Dad always stops at when he drives from Adelaide to…read moreMelbourne and it turns out that this is one of them. Actually, it is quite conveniently located just off the main highway so when we hit Keith he always pulls in here for a cup of coffee. Actually, they offer free coffee and tea, however being the snob that I am I generally prefer my speciality teas (particularly English Breakfast). One thing I have to say about this place is that it is pretty cool, especially with the three rooms, one of them set out as a traditional American diner, another looking like a farmyard barn, and the third a nice lounge room. It's not just a coffee shop because they also have a whole range of snacks and other bites to eat. It's not a bad place, and I suspect if my Dad were making the trip again he would stop here once again.

There seem to be a couple of these bakeries scattered across the Wimmera, though I'm not all that…read moresure if they are actually connected, or they just have the same name. It is a nice place to grab a tea, though they don't really have much of a range (though that does change with coffee). In a way, this place actually isn't all that bad, and it certainly provides a good place to come for lunch, though the lunch crowd does happen to be pretty hectic. Still, I liked it.

I've had pies and cookies from here a few times, and they have always been delicious and of a high quality. Being the only bakery around, it get very busy! I would have given it 4 stars, but the service ranges from pleasant to downright grumpy. Saying that, we still enjoyed the food, especially since there is a park across the road with a lovely view of the water and the pelicans ;)
