Louttit Bay Bakery - Lorne - review

Name: Louttit Bakery

Address: 46B Mountjoy Pde,
LORNE 3232
(03) 5289 1207

Food: Bakery, cafe

We ordered: Caramel slice


This was THE BEST caramel slice I have ever had in my life. The chocolate and biscuit base were lovely however this is all about the caramel, and oh my Lord, was there plenty. The caramel was more akin to a luscious ducle de leche. It had the perfect balance of sweet and saltiness and had me licking my fingers like a fiend.


Hedgehog


This was also the best hedgehog I have ever had the pleasure of eating. It was a gorgeous fudgy texture with a beautiful crumb, it was perfectly balanced with dark chocolate and plenty of coconut. A substantially delicious hedgehog. Both bars were also a generous size.


Service: Good.

Atmosphere: Cafe-esque and busy.

Parking: Ample street parking.

Website: None.

Hours:
Open Daily 7am-6pm

Would I return: Yes - if I am in Lorne it will be a definite stop. Aside from the sweet treats this bakery had the most varied and gorgeous looking selection of freshly baked breads as well. Next time I will be walking out with loaded arms.

Kafe Kaos - Lorne - review

Name: Kafe Kaos

Address: 52 Mountjoy Pde
Lorne, 3232


(03) 5289 2639

Food: Cafe, International

Average price: Mains: $5.50-$16.50

Complimentary:  Nothing.

We ordered: Famous brekkie foccacia - $12.80

Bread spread with pesto, dipped in egg, with grilled tomato, fresh basil and tasty cheese


The flavours were fairly mild and it was nice enough but there was WAY too much melted cheese, and I adore cheese but even I had to pick some off to tame down the saltiness. It also came with a few mixed salad leaves in a Balsamic dressing.
 
BLT Burger


Mr.M enjoyed this but thought it was just OK. It also included chicken and avocado on Turkish pide.

Service: Good. The waiters came out with water and menus fairly quickly, the food also arrived quickly.

Atmosphere: Cafe/park. Outside there were wooden benches, inside the tables were polished wood with large floral arrangements and red accents. There was an eclectic mix of paintings on the wall. The vibe is very casual and chilled out.



Parking: Ample street parking.

Website: http://www.kafekaos.com.au/

Hours: Daily 7.30am-5.30pm (Winter 8am-5pm)

Would I return: No. The food was average and there are other places to try.
