Title: Australian Sandwich Shop/Bakery?
Post by: sandyshoes on November 09, 2009, 04:30:30 PM
Does anyone know if the Australian sandwich shop/bakery/coffeehouse is still around, I'm thinking it was around Atlantic Blvd., area, towards the beach.  I remembered they had vegemite, etc.  What's the name of the place, please?  There's a new poster from Australia and I wanted to tell her the name of it in case she got homesick or needed a vegemite sammie...(no offense, but ugh!!)

It was the Walkabout Cafe at Altlantic and Hodges.  They were there last year.  A friend of mine from the UK operated it as an English place before his health took a turn.

Thanks for the info.  I tried the number, it's disconnected.  Oh well.  Yeah, was it the same location?  The English place had the best steak and mushroom pies.

I saw at one time they had 2 locations.  Martin was a great guy.  He and his pies are missed.  I will do some asking around.

I'm pleased to announce that Bakery Moderne on Stockton St in Riverside is now serving meat pies.  Please see my post under the "Bakery Moderne" thread for full details.
