Gladstone Store

My brother and I have visited this store a few times. Plenty of parking on the surrounding streets. The staff are always friendly and greet you with a hello and a smile. The coffees are excellent here and the pies are delicious. There is a park across the road to enjoy a coffee.

I used to visit the area often and it was always a priority for me to walk to this cafe asap after arrival. Good coffee. Location is convenient to a lovely park. I enjoyed the take-home jar of Citron tea and few times. The farm-fresh produce was always of good quality. One of the places I miss most on the Balmain Peninsula.

The Gladstone Corner Café has quickly become a local institution. Great coffee, local produce, homemade jams, relishes and creative snacks. The service is friendly and while I don’t live in Sydney’s Inner West anymore, each visit starts with a stroll to this particular corner café.

Found this lovely gem in Birchgrove yesterday via Instagram and instantly knew I had to cross the bridge to have their homemade cakes and pies. It was worth the travel! The mixed berry Almond cake was divine! Moist, light and delicious I could eat the whole cake. The egg and bacon pie is a must try also. Crisp pastry and delicious filling. The place itself is cosy and very welcoming. Owners Tim and Soli are very nice and friendly.

Lovely little place opposite the park. Good coffee, cute caramel slices (mini ones at $1.50 so you don’t feel too guilty) and a range of homemade sauces. Really nicely put together. There is a menu too, and salads but this was a quick trip for me, so I didn’t get to explore fully.
