Out of the oven before the ferry.
The bakehouse starts at four, so the first tray is cooling by the time the doors open. Breakfast runs till 11:30, lunch till 2:30, and the coffee never stops.

I order on the ferry from Palm Beach and my flat white is on the shelf when I step off. It's the best part of the commute by a distance.

We had Mum's 70th in the back room. Thirty-two people, the long lunch, and they made her a lemon myrtle cake with a ferry on it.

Pass 05 · Questions
Asked at the till.
Anything else, ask us in person. We're the ones with flour on our aprons and sand in our shoes.
Do you do gluten-free?
Yes: gluten-free bread on any dish for $2, and a few bakes made without flour. Our oven bakes wheat all night, so we can't promise anything is free of traces. The menu filters show what's what.
Can I book a table?
Walk-ins only for breakfast and lunch, but the wait is rarely long. For 10 or more, send a function enquiry and we'll set a table aside.
Are dogs allowed?
On the deck and the footpath tables, always. Water bowls are by the door and the dog babycino is on the house.
Is it accessible?
Step-free from the Esplanade, a ramp to the deck and an accessible bathroom. There's a high chair and a change table too.
Do you sell bread to take home?
Every day from 6:30 until it runs out, usually around lunch. Order ahead to make sure of a loaf.
