Himalaya Bakery & Cafe Shop Front

Welcome to Himalaya Bakery & Cafe, let me take you on a little tour of our new improved shop front.

Starting with our new coffee machine, we use the best coffee grinder available, our coffee grinder only makes 1 portion of coffee at a time, so our coffee is always freshly ground. The coffee we use is fair trade organic selected after an exhausting search.

The bakery boasts several custom made features, including a custom made cold drink display.

This is a bar style setup just inside the front door where you can look over the town while you enjoy a nice coffee, with a delicious vegetarian / vegan lunch. Some reading material are available for your enjoyment.

This is our main sales counter, the red cast iron inserts are the only thing to survive from the original building,.

During construction of the premises 4 wall speakers were installed in the sales area to create an ambient atmosphere for our customers

Our fully customisable cash register is easy to update with changes in the prices or products.

No plastic bags are used in packaging the bread etc. Where possible we package our products using paper and other recyclable materials. 

This is the cake display fridge, the range changes depending on the seasons.

But we try to cater to our diverse cliental, such as vegans, gluten free and diabetics.

This is our 2 bread display racks, showing a range of our breads, the type of bread changes daily basis. We have the main types such as Organic White bread, Organic Light wholemeal which we also use for Olive, Walnut, Multi-seed, Onion, Sultana and Light Sunflower. Our popular Rustic bread is made in a basket and baked on the stone in the oven at high temperature for an authentic crusty loaf.

Then we have a Biodynamic wholemeal bread, which is also used to make a Beautiful sunflower bread with a little honey and Organic sunflower oil.

Another popular seller is our famous wholemeal Organic Spelt bread and the Biodynamic wholemeal Rye which is possibly one of Australia's heaviest rye as it is made from pure rye flour and sour dough but what a taste and longevity. All our breads sour dough which we make using our own leavens.

This is our main dining area with the table tops made from recycled timber, hand sanded and varnished. Toward the back of the shop we have a cosy are where you can sit awhile and enjoy a nice meal while you read the news paper or some of our magazines. Off cause if you brought your laptop you could access our wireless internet and check your email.
