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.

There's many a good bakery in the far flung outposts of civilisation scattered around South…read moreAustralia, and the Ardrossan Bakery is one of them. This pleasantly welcoming family business lies in the very heart of Ardrossan's hot cafe strip - there's a coffee shop a few doors away - and it does a particularly fine pasty along with a mouth-watering selection of other baked goods. We seated ourselves comfortably at a big timber table in the spacious dining area and attacked a pasty each. I went for a sausage roll as well, accompanied by the ever-reliable 600ml Farmers Union Iced Coffee. The pasty looked good; an encouraging start. The shape and colour were near perfect, with the golden pastry flaky around the edges and the whole fat and shiny over the filled area. My usual pre-consumption dissection of the pasty revealed meat, potato and marrow and possibly a pea within, including a healthy dusting of pepper. Perhaps there could have been a little more filling, but quantity is never a substitute for quality. Closing the pasty up again and offering it to the palate confirmed the quality of this item of regional fare. Hot, with a single squirt of cooling, premium tomato sauce directly injected, the high standard of the filling was complemented by the casing's layers of flaky pastry. Yum. The sausage roll was good too. Its pastry was flaky and fully cooked without any accumulation of fat from the filling on the bottom of the roll. Inside was a tasty mix of meat with some finely cubed carrot. An ideal follow-up to the delicious pasty, and more than competitive with anything available in the distant metropolis. I sat there, draining the last of my Farmer's Union Iced Coffee, looked across at my pretty companion as she delicately chomped her lunch, and thought smugly. 'I doesn't get much better than this!' Ardrossan was absolutely pumping on the Monday of our visit. A car went past, then, just as we were leaving, another one went past, and we saw a man with a dog walk into the motor repair business opposite. Who says this is a sleepy rural village! Later, driving through the relative quiet of the Yorke Peninsula hinterland, we agreed that the Ardrossan Bakery was well worth a return visit, and enjoyed another couple of pasties there on the way home.

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.

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.

I have eaten here about 10 times over 2 years and the food is amazing…read more The cafe itself is like a big fish n chip shop with seating so don't expect to be amazed with ambiance when coming here What does make it special is the food and people. 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

I never write reviews. Ever. Not even if a place is really good. It's just not my thing…read more But after my 5th visit here I can't not write something. This place is brilliant. Best service. Best coffee. Best feeds for mostly under 10 bucks. The most lovely family atmosphere and nothing but smiles from ear to ear. I live 45 mins away from here. I make excuses to go vaguely near here so I can swing by for a feed and coffee. 12/10 Love it

The barista understood the strange Perth habit of a Long Macchiato - which was great to hear. I grabbed the granola, which was balanced and not too sweet. The chunky clusters of oat, walnut, almond, apricot, and cranberry was crunchy yet chewy - the baked nature had not taken all the moisture away. Coffee ... the real reason to drop in... This was wonderful. Smooth. Delicate but fully flavoured. Bitter sweet notes with hints of caramel. Atmosphere is relaxed and very friendly. Definitely a good way to start my day.

Breakfast was ordered at the counter, and I chose free range poached eggs on sourdough with a side of smashed avocado and a latte to wash it down. No complaints from me as the eggs perfectly poached and avocado perfectly smashed. They even do suspended coffees here, and last count they had 24 available!

Great setting. Good service. Really, really good food! I need to go back - soon!…read more I had the gluten-free fritters with poached eggs, a watermelon mint juice and a coffee. It was all delicious. It is a beautiful space, with the deck over the water. Inside, the decor is homey and inviting. Now, if they had dog friendly seating, I might be there every week!

I have never been to this cafe until today and it is absolutely fantastic in more ways than one!…read moreThey were so busy I reckon the whole family was out in force serving behind the counter. The first thing I noticed was an older ethnic man standing behind the front counter, talking out loud as if to a family member but it was a customer. This was the first snapshot into the almost cult following the cafe has encountered and with service like that, being treated as if part of the family (I which I had a share in the biz) who wouldn't go back! You want panini they got it and other varieties of bread, you want cheese to go with it, no problem which one would you like! It's like a mini central market or the markets of Province right here, seriously it's got everything and anything sweet or savoury. Easy parking and located along the tramline with the stop almost directly out the front, no pushing and jostling to get there as it's away from the Jetty Rd mayhem, a great location to catch up with friends. It's definitely a destination. Some people move house to be in the school zone they want to send their kids to or want to be closer to the doctors they visit or their families...I want to live closer to this place, my diet would be out the window but who cares, this is the life!

The cafe channels a hipster vibe with mismatched furniture and an eclectic use of items as display cases, but the owners have really maximised the space here whilst allowing the patrons to have enough breathing room. Staff are friendly in store and always up for a chat and happy to give you their recommendations on food or tea blend options. The Menu has a good range of breakfast and light lunch options and vegetarians will find themselves relatively well looked after. I'm a big fan of their pancakes (which are really pikelets) as they are very generous on the portion sizes as well as topping options. The coffee here is a wee bit bitter for my own liking but their lattes are crazy creamy. The Litttle Leaf also mixes their own tea blends you can buy in store, whilst I'm not a tea drinker myself, friends have assured me it is top notch. The Leaf 'n' Bean also puts on regular events with live music, exhibitions and dessert nights on their cards.

Homemade cakes, muffins and slices (a large range of those being gluten free) taste like nanna has baked them herself. We tried the "Lemon Situation," GF Orange and Almond Cake and GF Apple and Rhubarb Crumble muffin thing and were all impressed and received our sweet quota for the week. The Iced Coffees were very creamy and rich with vanilla ice cream - made with real coffee but perhaps a tad too sweet for me. The atmosphere of this cafe is comfortable with a range of seating options from couches to large share tables and cushioned seats in the corner. They also have a lovely courtyard for sitting in during the day. The staff are incredibly friendly, helpful and attentive and seem to really love where they work. I didn't manage to try their breakfast or simple lunch options of soup, sandwiches and quiche etc on the menu but will definitely be back.
