Jones The Grocer

We were in Freshwater for a day out and spotted Mrs Jones the Baker on the corner of Moore Road. The bright neon light and window of baked goods enticed us in further. This bakery/café has a window full of all their delectable offerings, that you will find it hard to choose. They sell artisan breads, cakes, pastries, gelato and coffee. From the artisan bread range, there’s white sourdough, soy linseed, wholemeal, rye sourdough, baguettes, fruit loaf and more. If you’re after a pastry to eat in or on the go, why not grab yourself a cinnamon brioche, snail, cinnamon twist, pain au chocolat, raspberry brioche, pear and strawberry danish, apple danish, almond croissant amongst the many on offer. We tried the light and tasty quinoa and apple slice – though it seemed more raisin and berry than apple. Savoury pastries are available too, such as sausage rolls,pies, beef pies and quiches. For a sweet treat, there’s so many, featuring carrot cake, raspberry brownies,), caramel coconut slice, pear and raspberry frangipane tart slice, lemon drizzle cakes, salted caramel donuts and cruffins, chocolate donuts and cruffins. You can also order fancy patisserie cakes such as salted caramel tarts, lemon meringue tarts and chocolate eclairs just to name a few. They sell mini versions if you’re just after a small treat or whole cakes for a celebration. There’s stores in Waringah Mall, Freshwater and Frenchs Forest, we visited the Freshwater location. They use high quality, organic base ingredients with no artificial additives and they’ve also got gluten, dairy and nut free as well as vegan and low sugar choices too.

Popular shop in the heart of Freshwater with eat in or take out. Great selection of pastries and sourdough as well as pies and sausage rolls and gelato. Coffee is pretty good too!

Grabbed a coffee and Norfolk shortbread for a quick snack. Lots of flies going around the cakes in the display window which wasn't great. Scone was nice and flavourful, coffee average. Service slow but adequate.
