Only one year old but we can't imagine life on the coast without Hayley and Jo and their amazing bread and pastries, cookies and cakes. Always something new to try, fantastic coffee and grab a jar of sticky chai or kourabiedes as a souvenir or gift to make your friends jealous. Worth getting out of bed early for, especially on weekends and holidays as they sell out fast, be prepared to queue.
