Grays Inn 63 Gawler St Mt Barker

"More than just a hotel"
Called in for a coffee and cake $5.50 at Grays Inn, Gawler St Mt Barker. What a wonderful warm cosy place, on a cold wet winter morning at MtBarker. We enjoyed our coffee and cake, sitting beside a very nice open fire, reading a supplied paper, with a free WiFi telstra hotspot. We discovered they also have a Primo Franchise offering a comprehensive menu. Must return for a lunch, the service was friendly and helpful. Great find on Gawler St Mt Barker.

C.R.E.A.M. CAFE 4/49 Jetty Rd Brighton Adelaide S.A.

What a buzz, busy, packed out, with queue out to the footpath on a cold Sunday morning, along Jetty Road Brighten. Why?. Well for us CREAM ticks all the boxes when it comes to great cafe. First the coffee is right up there, almost intoxicating, smooth, not bitter, with a lingering aftertaste, leaving you wth the mental notion, I will be back for more. While enjoying my coffee, could not help but observe,  the quality of the orders flowing from the kitchen, very appetising. 5 Senses especially blended coffee range, an excellent cafe menu, with free wifi, news papers, it is understandable why there is a queue out the door. The service was friendly, and very professional. We duly waited in he queue. Inside a very efficient, friendly and highly organised staff secured seats for us around a large common use table. We intend to return and be a little more adventurous with the menu.
