Perryman’s Bakery is a bit of a local secret that we haven’t always been willing to share.
Still in the best one or two pies in Adelaide in my opinion. And Mrs T would probably agree

There’s been a lot of work going on into our new West Beach Coffee packaging and we are delighted with the outcome.
There’s a few first in terms of packaging here but the most important is these area recyclable bag that means we are lightening the load a bit while providing the best coffee protection you can get.
Did it cost a bit more? Yes it certainly did but we think it’s worth it.
Check it out as we roll out over the coming weeks

Memories of Cheesefest for us after a long couple of days a few years back!
It’s a fun event that’s very adult and combines some great cheese and drinks in a city parkland setting the way only Adelaide can do.
Tuckers are a key sponsor and you’ll taste Tuckers Crackers at multiple stands throughout the show. Unlike other years we don’t have our own stand this time.
The event starts tomorrow and runs across the weekend.

Lobster ravioli with prawns and beurre blanc. I didn’t quite know what to expect but this was actually really good. Beurre Blanc probably not the most delicate but for this restaurant on the waterfront in Geelong this was a good eat

The Watervale Hotel isn’t your average gastro pub. By its own pronouncement it’s an epicurean society.
And while they don’t mind pumping up their own tyres: in that, it’s justified.
The dishes are restaurant style and the kitchen takes no prisoners. There’s a great menu here, the type you want to return to because you can’t choose everything you want in one sitting.
The whole Clare Valley bats ways above its reputation as the little cousin to the Barossa and McLaren Vale regions.

All this talk about the price of coffee going up!
The price of a West Beach Coffee at home is still only around $1 a cup.
That’s absolutely premium South American cafe quality (or better) beans at home for less than 20% of the price people are arguing about in a cafe!

No coffee machine? This is a great time to take the plunge (like what we did there?). We have one of these DeLonghi Magnifica automatic machines ourselves, they’re around $450. Does a great job nice stainless steel grinding wheels and everything you need for a great home coffee experience. And the maths looks pretty good. Only 100 coffees and you’re ahead!
Live the cafe life sure, but take the edge off the cost of living with West Beach Coffee at home 🌊 🏖️ ☕️
