Time in Maitland Gaol isn’t all as it seems, tempting those held prisoner by their tastebuds with delectable treats thanks to Blackbird Artisan Bakery. A selection of baked goods worth stealing can be nabbed from inside this heritage listed building, fitted out in a funky design with splashes of sunshine yellow livening a spacious area between red brick walls, where friends come to congregate and dine, soaking in a warm ambiance. Power up and bust out for a day of adventure with a coffee supplied from a boutique local roaster alongside devouring tasty fare like eggs benedict on black brioche, or housemade sourdough waffles with mild chilli jam, bacon and poached eggs. Be sure to secure a loaf of handcrafted bread, made from premium quality single origin flour that has been left to rise.
