Cafe Soto

I don't often venture over to North Avalon but as the polo was on I thought I'd take a look.
A sign advertising Bahn Mi - or pork rolls drew me off Barrenjoey Rd into the strip of Careel Bay shops.
Once inside the friendly cafe I switched to the pulled pork roll instead.
Tasty hickory favoured pork with a fresh salad inside a white roll.
Divine.

Amber Waves Bakery

This an old fashioned cake shop, but wait there's more ... bread and coffee. If you get up early this is usually the earliest opening coffee shop in Avalon.
All the tradies line up in the morning and get a iced donut to wash it down.
It has all the traditional aussie cakes: cream buns, neinish tarts, meringues, custard tarts. It also has bread and pies.

Bakers Delight Avalon

The racks never seem to be empty here and the bread is always fresh-baked daily.
There is a big variety of loafs, ham & bacon rolls, scones, scrolls, baguettes, pizza bases. I love the cape seed loaf!

La Banette - Patisserie and Boulangerie

Every village needs a good bread shop, Avalon has three but La Banette is exceptional.
It is not unusual to see a line outside. The hot baguettes fresh out of the oven simply cannot be beaten.

There is a wide range of baguettes - sourdough, olive; also other loaves - rye, fruit loaf, grain, yeast free. Croissants- almond, chocolate, plain. Petit Fours, Quiches, meringues. Also a lovely range of signature cakes.

The shop was renovated a year ago and has a rustic feel. The staff are always friendly and patient. Cash only!
