Breakfast in Nagambie splits into two jobs: feeding anglers before first light, and feeding everyone else at a civilised hour. High Street handles both.
01Before first light
Nagambie Bakery at 333 High Street is the anglers' stop and the town's institution, with pies, rolls and coffee to load the boat with. Burkes Bakery at 294 to 298 High Street is the second bakery option at the other end of the shops. Opening hours shift with the seasons, and nothing ruins a dawn launch plan like a shut bakery, so check hours for the day you need rather than assuming.
If you are heading out before anything opens, buy the morning's food the afternoon before and make the bakery the mid-morning reward instead.
02A slower start
For a sit-down breakfast or brunch, High Street has a proper cafe strip: Harry's Cafe at 317 High Street, Next Door at 310 High Street, and The Botanic House in the courtyard at 317 High Street. The Black Caviar Cafe operates at the brewery site at 295 High Street. Between them the non-fishing half of the group is covered from coffee through to lunch, and the venue listing below carries current ratings and details for each.
03Coffee for the esky run
Every cafe above does takeaway coffee, and the bakeries pour early. If the group splits at dawn, the usual Nagambie pattern is anglers out first, coffee run at seven, everyone compares notes on the foreshore at ten.
