First off, for anyone expecting this to be a bakery, it’s not. Not by my standards at least. Let me expand:
“Bakery”
There is a section that sells bread, but it’s unstaffed. It specifically tells you to go to the cafe side to order, which is obviously inefficient, but the problem is also that there are no prices noted. Why would I bother waiting in line to get someone over to ask for the price of a bread that might be too expensive for me to warrant buying. Probably it would be, as the breads lay exposed and no one is really buying as far as I could see when I sat in the cafe portion to try their meat pie. The breads would not be fresh.
There are some other “fresh” breads, but those are just overpriced mass-produced artificial breads that you might as well get from the grocery store.
“Cafe”
Kind of a generic cafe but good range of choices according to Australian standards (no espressos). Meat pie was fine, also not very fresh. The issue I had was the extreme amount of waste they produce. One of the rare places that still sells plastic cups with neigh every drink.
Also they don’t clean. I was there for half an hour minimum and my table nor the table next to me was ever wiped and many more tables I could spot from my spot. The floor was full of crumbs. It wasn’t that busy, so I feel like they should shift some priority to this. All in all it definitely doesn’t feel like a “village bakery”, but more like a McDonalds chain restaurant.
