Zeri does freshly baked goods extremely well, and the heady scent of artisanal pastries and breads that fill the interiors of the shop explain why it’s been a local favourite for years. While the homemade pies, pastries and tarts are all winners.
Visit the local markets, held every Saturday in the heart of the CBD the Markets are a must-visit for everything from vintage fashion to antique decor, upcycled goods, handmade beauty products, ceramics and fashion from up-and-coming local designers. The market is held come rain, hail or shine, and funds raised go towards local orphanages, adding some social good to the experience.
