A warm welcome to Craig's Bakehouse & Cafe in Naracoorte with a pending opening in October '24!
Hello Naracoorte and the Limestone Coast community!
I’m Craig, the person behind Craig’s Bakehouse & Café, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to finally be bringing this vision to life. I’ve been working hard behind the scenes, putting together a space that I hope will soon become a staple in your daily lives – a place where you can enjoy great coffee, fresh baked goods, and most importantly, a sense of community.
Why Craig’s? When I first dreamt up the idea of Craig’s Bakehouse & Café, I knew it had to be more than just another place to grab a coffee or a quick bite. I want it to be a hub, a gathering place where traditions are respected, but there’s always room for something new and exciting. We’re all about quality, sourcing locally, and being deeply committed to the community that we serve.
But here’s the thing – this bakery and café aren’t just about me. They’re about you, too. I want Craig’s to reflect the tastes and values of the people who live here, work here, and visit this beautiful region. That’s why I’m inviting you to get involved in shaping our menu.
Let’s Talk Menu: Now, I could sit here and tell you about all the different kinds of bread, pies, pastries, and sandwiches we’re thinking about offering, but I’d much rather hear from you.
What’s your go-to baked good? Is there a particular kind of sourdough you just can’t live without? Maybe there’s a pastry that reminds you of home, or a sandwich combination that’s your personal favourite. Whatever it is, I want to know.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be running some menu voting polls on our Facebook and Instagram pages, and I’d love for you to join in. By sharing your thoughts, you’ll not only help us create a menu that’s truly reflective of what this community loves, but you’ll also get an exclusive invite to our local tasting events. This is where we’ll showcase some of the top suggestions and gather even more feedback. It’s going to be a lot of fun, and I hope you’ll be part of it.
Get Involved! Getting involved is easy. All you need to do is follow us on Facebook and Instagram. Once you’re there, keep an eye out for our posts and stories – that’s where you’ll find our polls, questions, and updates on the tasting events. Don’t be shy – I want to hear from as many of you as possible. Your input is invaluable, and I can’t wait to see what ideas you come up with.
The Bigger Picture: At Craig’s, we’re not just about food. We’re about bringing people together, creating connections, and celebrating the simple joys in life. Whether it’s enjoying a freshly baked loaf of bread, sharing a pie with friends, or sipping a cup of coffee while you catch up on the latest news, we’re here to be part of your day.
This community has such a rich history, and it’s important to me that Craig’s respects that legacy while also bringing something fresh and contemporary to the table. I want to create a space where everyone feels welcome, whether you’re a local, a visitor, or someone just passing through.
So, what do you say? Will you join me in making Craig’s Bakehouse & Café a place that truly belongs to all of us? I’m excited to hear your ideas and see how they’ll shape our menu. Together, we can create something really special.
Until then, keep an eye on our social media, share your thoughts, and get ready for some delicious tasting events! I can’t wait to see you there.
Cheers, Craig
