Ben Ean Patisserie & The Deli

Ben Ean Patisserie and The Deli sits on the terrace at the Ben Ean estate on McDonald Road, a short walk from the cellar door and Baume. The counter runs to house-made pastries and vanilla slices, gourmet pies and sausage rolls, artisan cheese and cured meats, and sandwiches made to order, alongside barista coffee and a short list of teas. Gluten-free options and celebration cakes are made to order.

It opens seven days from 8am to 3pm, which makes it an easy first stop for breakfast or a coffee before the tastings start. You can sit over the vines or carry a takeaway picnic into the day. The terrace seating and the counter format suit families and groups who want something quick rather than a sit-down set menu, and no booking is needed.
