Tasty Bud Cafe

There’s a fair number of Vietnamese eateries opening around the city at the moment, and Tasty Bud Cafe is one of the latest to open it’s doors. Located on Gawler Place, on the former site of Mama Pierogi, the cafe offers home style Vietnamese dishes, Vietnamese rolls, snacks and sweets. The cafe is family run…

Illy’s Cafe

I often wonder whether businesses change their name in order to attract new customers, particularly when the menu is still the same. They haven’t completely changed though as the menu board inside still bears the previous name. Illy’s Cafe, formerly known as Falafel Stop, is located close to the corner of Gouger Street and Morphett…

There are 4 Veloce Paninoteca stores across the state with 2 on King William Street in the city. The most recent addition is the one in the Commonwealth Bank building. Coffee is their specialty and they only use 100% Arabica beans that are roasted to perfection. To compliment their beverages, they have a selection of…

Sago Fresh

Sago Fresh is a small hole in the wall store just off the corner of King William and Currie Streets. At the display counter, they sell fresh baguettes with classic ingredients, however, there are a few with more Asian influences. They also sell Asian fried snacks as well as Vietnamese rolls.

Red Door Bakery – Croydon

I’ve actually never been down Elizabeth Street in Croydon and I wasn’t expecting to see a group of boutique stores and cafes. I must admit it was a pleasant surprise. Having been to the Red Door Bakery in Goodwood, I already had a good idea of what was in store even before I came here….

Horner & Pratt

To be honest, I’ve walked past this place so many times and I didn’t even know it existed. The first thing you notice when you walk into this place is the mismatched furniture. Stuff from the 60’s and 70’s that you’d find thrown out on the side walk. Some would describe this as the casual…

Zest Cafe Gallery

Zest Cafe Gallery is a quaint little cafe just off Jetty Road on Sussex Street. The place has a very relaxed vibe about it with an enclosed outdoor area, small tables and vines overhead. As the name suggests, the cafe showcases artwork along its walls. Breakfasts and coffee seem to be their specialty, however, they…

Grind It

You know a place is good when there’s always a line up of customers waiting to dine in. Either that, or the place is too small. Grind It is located on Moseley Street, just off Jetty Road as you head towards the beach. The place is small, although I think you could cram 50 skinny…
