About Tathra Bakery and Cafe
Tathra Bakery and Cafe is a bakery and cafe in Tathra, New South Wales, the sort of place where the pie warmer, the bread racks and a few outdoor tables all share the one small shopfront. Pies are what it's known for, and the counter also turns out sausage rolls, salad rolls, donuts and vanilla slices, along with classics like custard tarts and meringues.
Bread is a quieter strength. The loaves and bread rolls come out fresh, and hot cross buns and donuts are made daily. The salad rolls can be put together to your liking, which suits anyone after a quick lunch. Coffee, breakfast and lunch are all on offer, plus sweet things for afterwards.
You can eat in or take away. There's seating inside and out, and the outdoor tables are a popular spot with locals on a fine day, with the coast just a short wander away. It's comfortable for kids, and access is good, with a wheelchair-accessible entrance, seating and car park, plus free street parking nearby and tap-to-pay for mobile payments.
Opinion around town is mixed. Some people leave happy with a good pie, friendly service and a relaxed visit, while others have been less impressed by the cakes and the odd slow or brusque moment at the counter. Pies are best eaten with a little patience, as they come out piping hot.
If you're paying by card, it's worth keeping a little cash handy in case there's a minimum spend on EFTPOS. The bakery opens early and runs through the afternoon, but check the hours before you head in. If you're in Tathra and want a pie, a coffee and a seat in the sun, it's an easy stop to make.
