Wye River General Store

Heady with bakery scents, this beachside brick cafe and general store hums with the rhythm of the nearby rolling waves. Waitstaff sporting beach-hair flash dashing smiles as they dish out smooth coffee and stylish fare such as braised cannellini beans smoky with hock and lightened by lemony spinach. Mushroom ragout happily shares the plate with house-made seeded sourdough and wobbly poached eggs. Bright salads and fish 'n' chips star for lunch, while pizza and beer on tap steal the show come dinner. Takeaway bakery delights, including custard-filled doughnuts, are winners any time.
