"Award winning pies", seriously? I went here for the first time today and had one of their so-called award winning pies, to be fair the pastry was very nice the flavour of the content was all so quite nice, however where was the meat! It was supposingly a chunky meat pie with minced beef, however it was pretty much just a gravy pie. There was a small skerrick of meat when I first bit into the pie then it was loaded full of gravy I was hoping after each bite that I was finally going to get some actual meat, then right towards the end when I was holding the last bit of crust there was a chunk of meat. I could have seriously put a straw into this pie and drank it. Thankfully I was heading into the hills passing by some actually good bakeries with really good pies as I was still hungry after this liquid pie, thankfully my second pie was exactly what I wanted, full of flavour full of chunky meat, absolutely delicious. The pie from this Banana Bogie was a fail. UPDATE: I purchased one of their vanilla slices a couple of weeks later and yes they were extremely good, however a few weeks later I tried one of their custard tarts, it was one of the worst custard tarts ever had in my life, the base was almost burnt and the custard was totally flavourless and textureless,, the $2 Foodland ones are better, this bakery seems to be very much a...

That was the one thing I was afterâbut I was also open to grabbing a few other things while I was there. Unfortunately, there were no hot quiches availableâonly large, cold $17 ones in the fridge. When I asked if they had any smaller options, the staff member suggested I buy the large one and freeze the rest. I appreciated the effort, but it felt like I was being steered toward spending more on a product I didnât come in for.
Furthermore she completely missed the point. I wasnât after a frozen meal to prep later; I wanted something hot and ready now. If thatâs what I wanted, I wouldâve bought the big one and not asked if they had any smaller ones.
There were plenty of hot pies and pasties available, but no quiches at allâsomething I think is worth considering for the future. I ended up walking out without buying anythingânot because the products werenât good, but because the experience felt unnecessarily pressured and a bit disappointing. A few smaller, ready-to-go quiche options would...
