From Kersbrook, to Warren Reservoir then heading for the Whispering Wall.Coming into Williamstown and at the junction of Warren Rd and South Para Rd is Baker St. Perfect location, with a good street frontage and presence. Good outside eating area and quite inviting. We took the invitation and stopped. The store was clean, not cluttered and also had a selection of local produce and local information. For a weekend trade I was slightly taken back by the limited stock in both the pies/pasty area and in the cakes side. Service was pleasant and helpful, with clarification of the order well done. So for me a flat white and a raspberry cheesecake slice and partner just a black tea. The order would be brought out to us in the undercover outside area. Coffee and tea arrived but unfortunately I had to go back in to remind them of the cheesecake order after about 10 minutes. It came out with profuse apologies.Given that BakerSt also boasts as being Barossa Coffee Roasters, my expectations were high. But alas, although the coffee was pleasant it was nothing outstanding. Might I add though the raspberry cheesecake slice was a delight with the sweetness of the cheesecake well balanced with the sharpness of the raspberries. Whilst we were there, there was a steady stream of travellers. I feel that with some tweeking of both the available food and a quality coffee this could be a very popular destination stop in the area.Return? May do if in that area again.

I was riding with friends and the shop looked ok. unfortunately the coffee was not good. Some of the pastries looked OK but there were not many choices. I will give it a try, everyone is allowed a bad day.
