Handasyde Strawberries Albany

This place has some absolutely awesome food/drinks.

The waffles and strawberry smoothie are very nice.

You can also buy fresh strawberries of varying quality (higher quality is more expensive)

Good spot for a lazy morning or afternoon. Cheap fresh strawberries. Starts from $4.5 for the 1kg punnet (2nd grade non organic)

We've been buying and eating 1 kg of the 2nd grade value pack everyday for the last 2 weeks.

We've tried every combination of the 4 types of strawberries and the organic does taste a tad better, but most of the time you can't tell the difference (at least neither I or the kids can't tell the difference). The organic one also seem to be "softer" on the verge of being "mushy" ie. Best to eat the organic one ASAP unless you buy the 1st grade ones.

There's more "mushy" and sunburnt strawberries in the 2nd grade packs, but they taste the same if you don't mind some cosmetic imperfections. I find the "mushy" ones sweeter, most probably because it's a bit over-ripe.

For the price difference between 1st and 2nd grade, the 2nd grade value pack is really good value.

I ordered chicken and corn chowder with homemade bread. It was delicious and very filling. I couldn't fit in an icecream unfortunately.

Best Strawberry waffles in town. Fabulous service, food and good times for all the family.

We stopped over here from our trip down to Albany. Great fresh strawberry farm café, ample dining space, huge carpark, outdoor play area for kids, fresh delicious food pastries ice cream coffees. Would recommend if your down in Albany or the surrounds.

Unplanned visit while travelling to Albany. If u r up for desserts and simple pastries they are here. I wish they are more heavier menus for lunch though. The service was pleasant. Kids gonna have a great time here as there is a small playground here. U guys gotta try the strawberry gelato. It felt so sincerely made, u can taste the strawberry seeds with every bite. Cheers from Malaysia

Organised a party in the hayshed. The space is beautiful, the food was yummy, and the service was so good. Thank you so much for making the experience fun and stress free.

Wonderful place to go and meet with family and friends, the food is delicious and all made from scratch in house

This place came highly recommended & we visited 3 times whilst on holidays. What a great spot. Friendly staff, good coffee & great food, delicious gelato. They sell a wide array of sweet goodies & gelato & of course fresh strawberries. Great playground for kids, gorgeous animals to see. The marshmallow that comes with Hot Choccie is so good, Homemade & not too sweet with the texture of pavlova.
Highly Recommend.

The toasted sandwich absolutely wonderful, the best toasted sandwich I have experienced in my 45 years of hospitality. I was asked if I wanted a dairy free butter which it was toasted.
I encourage everyone you must try this wonderful tourism treat.
Bought strawberry and chilli jam, wowwww. Freezer dried strawberries and 1 kg of strawberries for $4.50

Congratulations Handasydes your business and service is a credit to the industry and Albany.
We will be back next week

Lovely food, great coffee and cheap strawberries.
Plenty of parking with indoor outdoor seating and a playground.

Always a stop on our to do list! Definitely worth a visit. Been coming for a while now and I have seen how the place has grown! Beautiful food and wonderful service.

Absolutely per cent recommend you pop by and enjoy whatever you fancy. I thoroughly enjoyed the strawberry gelato my husband the vanilla.

Scones jam & cream were excellent and bought fresh strawberries to take with us. Could also have our gov in the outdoor area - perfect

Great place to get fresh strawberries and gelato or sorbet. They also have a cafe with a great selection of food.

Great food, great play facilities for the kids (x4 under 10), great atmosphere and friendly staff. One of the best locations to spend an hour or the whole day!

Coffee is pretty good. Some vegan options.but they are hidden/not on the menu so I didn't get to try them! Make sure you ask about them. My partner isnt vegan and loves this place. Nice atmosphere.

EDITED FOR REPLY FROM OWNER -
I totally understand the training of new staff, I've been a manager myself. Thank you for taking the time, (& so quick) to.reply.truly appreciated.

Extremely crowded. Bought strawberries from one staff member but when I asked for a slice of cake, was informed go to other till. Far enough, not problem. Did that, ordered a slice of cake & a gelato. This staff member told me the girl behind 1st till will get my gelato & she did. Then I waited while the current staff member kept serving customers including getting them their food while I waited for my slice of cake that was in display right next to her. We finally asked ANOTHER staff member that we would like the slice of cake & yes it was takeaway. Thankfully didn't ask for receipt since I had declined needing it.

However it's clearly popular & the locals etc must know how things work.

But for someone who's never been and walking in & seeing can go to the right, straight ahead or to the left it's very confusing.

Great place. All home made, even the marshmallows. Gluten free and keto options if needed. Coffee and food amazing. Lovely relaxed environment. I enjoyed and hope to return

Good wholesome good. Great value and quick service.unlike must other venues at this time of year.
Kids playground always a bonus worth nice shady seated area.
