Correction (11 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 9 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.

Two places. That is the count on this page, and we are not padding it.

The Blacksmith is the bakery stop, and Cognoscenti is a food and wine bar with a cheesecake on its menu. Both are on Burwood Highway, and both were checked against at least two sources.

Prices are copied from each menu page as printed. The Blacksmith prices we copied are drinks, so read them as a coffee stop rather than a cake order.
