Situated in Annandale, Sydney, Cherry Moon General Store deliciously combines café, woodfired baker and grocer. Inspired by the essence and magic of the old school general store, this charming establishment is the creation of pastry chef Kimmy Gastmeier (ex- Rockpool and Tetsuya).
Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to express your love through food. You could be treating yourself or preparing something a little special for that significant other or a group of your closest friends. Cooking brings us together and what’s not to ♥ about that? Jenny’s Melting Moments from Cherry Moon General Store, shown on our Salad Plate in Blossom are one of our favourite special treats. The crumbly shortbread is sandwiched with a sweet buttery icing and a perfectly tart jam.
