Honorbread - BERMAGUI

The bread and pastries certainly met my expectations, but my favorite was definitely the cheese and caramelized onion toastie—absolutely amazing! I also loved the fennel and raisin sourdough, which I had toasted and generously spread with Pepe Saya butter and nectarine jam. I even took a loaf of that sourdough home with me! The service was both friendly and efficient, and the coffee was quite good as well. There's also outdoor seating next to the store for those who wish to dine in.

Without a doubt, this is the best bakery on the South Coast. Everything they offer is absolutely delicious, and the coffee is fantastic as well. Just make sure to check their opening days and hours before you visit.

Dec-21: tried the tiberkes (Danish poppy seed answer to the French almond croissant) and the tahini scroll. Both too notch, staying in Tathra at the moment and considering a detour back to Bermagui for the tiberkes, it's awesome. Dec-20: The best bakery in Australia and probably top decile in the world. The country loaf was so good we sourced them from the IGA in Narooma (where we were staying that night) so we could take away on our trip back to Sydney. Unbelievable croissants. Honorbread is the best thing about Bermagui.

I have to say this is some of the best artisan bread I have come across on my travels. I have been ordering this bread through Candelo bulk Whole Foods Bega but every now and then I go directly on my days off, definitely worth the trip.

Every now and then you put something into your mouth that is so good, it makes you want to sit down and give it your complete and undivided attention. Honorbread’s Kardemummabullar $5) did just that: it was the best cardamom scroll I have ever eaten. Actually I ate two just to be sure... I picked up the first one up in Southlands Fruit and Vegetables in Moruya, then drove to the bakery in Bermagui just to eat it again. This perfect pastry kicks off with a big hit of aromatic spice that, as you tear into it, gives way to a pillowy centre so soft you’ll want to nestle inside. For the sake of completeness, I also tried a cinnamon bun $6.50) which was great, but not as great as the almighty Kardemummabullar. It’s worth taking the coast road through Bermagui just to eat it. The popular bakery they finish when they sell out) also stock a range of great products from Pepe Saya butter to StrangeLove sodas, including the clever lime jalapeño, which would be great as as a vodka mixer.
