Yankalilla Bakery

Kangaroo Island bound? Skip the servo snacks. Yankalilla Bakery is the obligatory pitstop—a bustling, flour-dusted fixture for a proper smoko. While the sprawling menu has its hits and misses, the move here is strategic. Savvy South Australian road warriors map their morning drive strictly around the heavy-hitters. Zero in on the beef and Guinness pie—fiercely savory and encased in unapologetic pastry—or the steak and pepper with its brilliant, fiery kick. Skip the basic pasties; instead, point your attention straight to the flawlessly executed caramel slice or the decadent Oreo cheesecake from the daily rotating counter. Pair it all with a barista-poured cuppa, snag a hearty chili-cheese beef pie for the road, and you're sorted. Peak comfort food, dialed right in.
