Located in the Lighthouse Beach Shopping Village, Bittersweet Cafe Patisserie is a sweet tooth’s dream. Brace yourself for a tempting array of cakes and pastries – think eclairs, fruit and granola tarts, vegan carrot cake, and much, much more. Fresh sourdough is baked daily, and the menu covers both sweet and savoury made-to-order breakfast. The golden French toast on brioche and crepe of the day are worth mentioning. And if you’re into heartier fare, explore house-made beans with speck and poached eggs, a veggie-packed omelette, or sweet potato, corn, and zucchini fritters. Egg benny lovers, note that they use homemade hollandaise. Winning hearts and minds of customers are also the friendly staff, warm smiles, premium coffee and chai, plus a choice between indoor and outdoor seating.
