Our Daily Bread Cafe is unlike any place I've ever been before! On our last stretch of drive headed back to Brisbane from Sydney and having not had any luck in other towns along the way, my husband and I were fiending for a solid meal after a couple nights of camping.
Since Yelp is still beginning to take off in Australia, I had to use another site to find reviews on ODBC, most of which were good although they appeared to have recently had some issues with "rude staff." The reviews for the food, however, were largely positive and so we decided to stop in.
The establishment itself is an old church which has remained mostly untouched. Built with solid wood featuring high ceilings and the typical old-fashioned church windows which remind me of the Baptist churches in "The South" of the States. While you wait for your food to be ready, you can mill around the back where there are racks of vintage clothes, dishes, furniture and various other interesting knick-knacks, all collected carefully and in pristine condition. Want to try something on? Step into the confessional booth-turned-fitting-room. Our Daily Bread Cafe did a brilliant job of utilizing all of the available space of this beautiful old building. There is even outside patio seating, which it was a beautiful day for.
Onto the food! Unfortunately I did not take a photo of the menu and can't find one online anywhere, but this was a meal I could never forget. My husband and I both chose a bruschetta-type plate, in different styles. He selected a "Hawaiian" plate that had ham, pineapple and swiss cheese. I had the LOADED one. Chorizo, all kinds of capsicum, onion, cheese..... this thing was to die for. We both agreed this was some of the best food we'd had in almost 2 months of traveling. Although there's not much else to see in Broadwater, Our Daily Bread Cafe is certainly worth a stop! read more
