Home Grain Bakery

Fleurieu Peninsula


One of four Home Grains dotted around the Fleurieu Peninsula, this one in otherwise soporific McLaren Flat wakes up the locals with good coffee, bags of biscuits, lovely loaves and awesome steak-and-mushroom pies. Chipper staff wear colorful bandannas on their heads and groove around to The Strokes blaring on the stereo. Street-side seats.
