Berkelo

My default local cafe if I want a coffee and some ace baked stuff. It is some of the most reliably great coffee in this part of the lower north shore (they serve Single O beans). The baked goods here are really the main attraction - stupendous breads, croissants, sausage rolls, etc. the pork sausage roll is truly superb (goes great with their home made relish*; just say yes and pay them the extra for it). It is easy to get sticker shock here but whatever it’s really good and totally worth it. Random points: - there is a surcharge if you use Apple Pay, which makes me sad - the bags of Single O beans they sell are reasonably priced; this is a good option if you make coffee at home - there are some *ludicrously* expensive items for sale in the fridge - they make the BEST hot cross buns ever - everyone is nice, chill, and friendly. A great vibe. *fancy tomato sauce basically

LOVE this place! Everything is delicious!!! I live further away and came to buy my favorite seeded bread but as it was sold out they offered me a delicious focaccia bread. Outstanding service and keeps me coming back (40min drive but always worth it!) I always stock up on the feta and kale rolls which are amazing!!
