About Craig's Bakehouse & Café
Craig's Bakehouse & Café is a bakery and café in Naracoorte with a bit more going on than the usual counter and cabinet. The baking runs to sourdough bread, pastries, pies, pasties and sausage rolls, with freshly brewed, ethically sourced coffee alongside. You can dine in, take away, or order catering, and the venue also hosts functions.
Pies are the thing locals and passing travellers talk about most, and the value gets a nod too. Vegetarian pasties, sausage rolls, a pistachio croissant and a bacon and egg wrap come up often, and one visitor was impressed that the baker went out of his way to sort a wholemeal sourdough on request. The staff have a friendly, welcoming reputation, and the café itself is a pleasant place to sit, with plenty of room indoors and out and power points if you want to settle in with a laptop. We've heard the odd quibble about a busy-morning wait or an item that wasn't quite right, but most people leave happy.
There's also Craig's Supper, a ready-made meal service for pickup or delivery within 40 kilometres of Naracoorte. Free street parking and a wheelchair-accessible car park make the stop easy, and the hours are set up for weekday mornings and a shorter weekend, so check them before you head in.
