The Original Food Company Mt Barker SA
What impressed us with this bakery is their focus, to produce a range of the highest quality sweet and savoury pastries with a complimentary line of cakes and buns. Achieving this quality they source the majority of the ingredients from local producers, most of whom are located within 100 kilometres of the Bakery. Resulting in prize winning gourmet pies and pastries.
The bakery/cafe is located on the Gawler St, beside the Red Cross Shop. Out side there is a very tidy comfortable alfresco area on the foot path, with a closer inspection it is on the sunny side of the street, making for a comfortable place to sit and chat in the sunshine. Inside we found the shop to be very clean and tidy, a numerous number of awards on show, dining has comfortable wooden table and chairs. Along the back wall there is a series of long refrigerated display cabinets, complete, with savoury rolls, scones, cakes etc, all available to eat in or take away, the coffee machine is in the corner from the counter along the front side. We found the coffee, Southern Crema, locally sourced, of good quality, leaving a pleasant after taste. The service was excellent, friendly, with a very relaxing ambience. Our food choices were fresh and well prepared. A nice pleasant interlude as we waited for the bus just up the street.

Adelaide Bar 9 Boutique Coffee Cafe
Just returned from London reviewing their best Coffee Cafe scene, the Australians & New Zealanders have stamped their mark in London. On our return we visited, the Bar 9 Cafe Glen Osmond Rd, Adelaide Australia,which is up for the best in Australia. On Monday midday the cafe is humming, obviously local customers appreciate, the coffee and wholesome food, the ample and varied table space and the comfortable leather corner settees. Wall art, old coffee making paraphernalia, antique natural wooden floors and various old style dining chairs and stools, old crates and large barrels contribute to the aged, careworn decor style creating a comfortable easy ambience. We thoroughly enjoyed a home made style pumpkin soup with toast, and their award winning coffee.
The service was friendly and professional, thus ticking all the boxes, making for very relaxing dining experience.
