   Homemade cakes are the reason to choose Chapman Lane Cafe, and customers describe them as fresh, generous and made with care. Order a Double Roasters coffee alongside, or a chocolate milkshake for the children. A kids menu sits on the list, and table service makes sitting down with children easier. Footpath tables on Gymea Bay Road are where dog owners tend to sit, and Premier Street Reserve takes two minutes to reach on foot.

   Common Grounds Espresso Bar is built around coffee, and a 20-year barista calls the house blend balanced. Milk drinks are well made, and pastries, cookies and fig bars sit on the counter. Fig bars can sell out on busy days, so arrive early. Hours run from 6am to 2pm Monday to Saturday, and the shop is five minutes on foot from Premier Street Reserve.

   🌳 Premier Street Reserve, 5 min walk

   Michel's Patisserie Gymea is the sweet-tooth pick on this list, with custard tarts and vanilla slices on the counter. Visitors find the bahn mi filling and tasty, so it works for a takeaway lunch. Custard tarts arrive in a small cardboard box with a dusting on top, and personalised cakes are among the products. Michel's Signature coffee is on the menu, so order one with the tart. The shop sits at 82 Gymea Bay Road, five minutes from Premier Street Reserve.
