Cripps DT & JL Bakehouse - Clarence

A bakehouse that caters for all different lunch menu requirements, ranging from pizza, burgers, hot chips to pies, scones & sweets. It is not gourmet nor does it pretend to be, that's the beauty of the place. Sometimes you just need fast food. After the 10km bush walk, it was the perfect place to grab a quick lunch to continue the walk. I had a chicken wrap, nothing to rave about (it was fine). I was happy there was relatively a healthy choice, especially after the walk. High marks for ability to get fast food & range of food to cater for kids. Pie, scones and jelly slice were a hit with kiddies. Jam donut was too oily. We ate our lunch at the pier. The view was stunning.

I love this place and I do not know if it is the racks of different breads, the homemade sweets and desserts or the bain Marie with homemade pizza, tempura fish or just delicious nibbles. They only have three tables inside and they are always busy. It is one of the hidden gems of the Bellerive really, and it attracts the hordes of the schoolchildren after 3 pm when they reduce most of their food by 50%. The coffee is milky than I am Located, but good quality. They make great quiche, and my favorite bread is the pumpkin bread that is Herbert and perfectly with homemade soup. A real family business that returns to the locals. Not even the big franchise bakeries knock 50% of their goods at the end of the day for the pensioners. It's great to go at 16:00 in the afternoon at 4pm and see you to buy your cheap bread and a bit of fish for dinner. You know what you do, and the difference is a discount for the oldies in the week. Good on Ya Cripps!

After reading the previous rating about the Scallop Pie .... I had to go a go, as the bakery is right around the corner from our accommodation. AMAZING!!! The pastry was cooked perfectly, the scallops were lovely and the mild curry sauce was completely balanced. Do yourself a favor and get on this place as soon as possible and order a scallop pie!

I have searched this hotel frequently years ago. It was not in a while - decided to comply with a few buddies between Christmas and Nye, because nothing else was open. The service was fantastic, but the food was usually and quite expensive. I ordered a series of medallions, chicken wings and chicken strips, and somehow cost me over $ 25. To make things worse, everything was awful. Unfortunately, will not be back.

Good service. Great place for a quick pick up. Have some great bakery for a good price. Coffee is cheap, but also feels cheap. Decor needs attention.
