Cafe profile: Five Loaves, Devonport 11
Five Loaves, Devonport A new café called Five Loaves has recently opened in Devonport’s quiet suburban neighbourhood. It is owned by Jimmy Macken and Mike Riordan, who since 2004 have operated the highly successful Five Loaves café in Herne Bay, an institution in that suburb. The pair say it was the fantastic location in a little residential area with lots of sunshine, a reserve across the road and easy parking that gave them the opportunity to bring their Five Loaves brand of good coffee, great service and even better food to the Shore. “We’ve got a great spot here and the locals have been really supportive since
day one, giving us lots of great positive feedback,” says Mike. “We wanted to create a smart café for the neighbourhood with a unique menu,” adds Jimmy. “So in addition to all the brunch standards we are offering some more adventurous menu options such as: Eggs Florentine (on creamed greens with a grilled polenta base and roast capsicum coulees); Heuvos Rancheros (black beans and bacon with guacamole on a tortilla with two fried eggs); French Toast (stuffed with caramelised banana and served with maple roasted bacon and walnuts) and Kedgeree (smoked fish and fragrant rice with a poached egg and Turkish bread).” Adding to these favourites, the pair recently launched a new menu which includes Organic Udon Noodles with chilli chicken and basil; Lamb Shank with a roasted garlic bean mash; and Tom Yum Chicken + green mango salad. Along with the made-to-order
menu, the cafe serves Allpress Coffee. Five Loaves wanted to offer something different in its baking, so the range of regular and gluten-free slices, tea cakes and cup cakes are baked on-site by Jimmy’s wife, Leah. Another feature is the large cabinet, full of salads and other savoury items to eat-in or take-out. Gourmet take-out meals are also sold, offering everything from good value family pies (smoked fish, beef and
