Waikerie Bakery — Restaurant in Waikerie

I couldn't get door open so waited for my partner to wait for her meal and then open the door for me. We sat down, the food was fine, we finished, I got up and left. Once out we were told we hadn't paid for part of our meal, which I then paid for. This almost all boils down to communication from those that served me. What I had expected to be a standard lunch affair was something I felt was a little uncomfortable. Hence, 2...

This bakery/coffee shop is centrally located in the town of Waikerie. A neat, clean and wonderful establishment situated in a characterful stone building, giving it a great ambience.
