A weekend away; we took a drive to Maleny and it was time for lunch. We stepped into Maleny Food Co. – a large, airy, light space which used to be the newsagent apparently. We ordered at the counter, and both chose the smoked salmon bagel, which was delicious. Freshly baked that morning, the poppy seed topped bagel was tender inside and crunchy outside. In fact, it was one of the best bagels I’ve had. The salmon and cream cheese were plentiful, and tasty. There were spinach leaves too, if you’re keen on greens. I had a cappuccino, while hubby drank a strawberry milkshake. My coffee was fine, and he enjoyed his cold, nicely-berried shake. There is a fromagerie (cheese room) at the front, and shelves full of food goodies. We really enjoyed the bright, light atmosphere and the friendly service. Oh yes, and gelati too! And I nearly forgot the orange and almond cake; I found it a bit dense but hubby loved it. All up, a pleasant break.
