One thing that Adelaideans can rally around and agreed on is HOW GOOD the sweet rings of fried dough Port Elliot Bakery dishes up every month.
The bakery is renowned for its delicious Donuts of the Month, which often stop the state! This month, Port Elliot Bakery will be honouring some Aussie icons, with its new Choc Ripple Nutella Cheesecake Donut!
An Australian favourite since the 1960s, the Arnott’s Choc Ripple is a crumbly, crunchy choice for home baking and tea dunking. Paired with the nation’s favourite hazelnut cocoa spread, you really can’t go wrong.
Port Elliot Bakery’s Donut of the Month attracts a lot of foot traffic in the small, coastal town, with city-goers dedicating a weekend to seeking out the sweet treat. Wear comfy shoes because the queues into the bakery can be long and treacherous. But boy oh boy, isn’t the reward at the end worth the wait?
The Port Elliot Bakery first opened in the 1860s and was operated as a bakery for over 50 years by the Bebee family. The site was led by many different families in the early 20th century, before transforming into the bakery we know and love today back in 1989.
It’s not often that you discover family-owned bakeries stay in operation for over 100 years, with the original wood fired oven still in place!
Port Elliot Bakery is pretty a-glaze-ing, as is the community as a whole, so if you needed an excuse for a weekend away, here you have it.
