Almost French Pâtisserie — Restaurant in Melbourne

I was shocked to see this place sell egg based custard and milk based desserts in little or no refrigeration on a 37 degree day! At 2pm I ordered 2 desserts with a friend. Both desserts (cream, milk and egg based) came out not firm, I knew something wasn't right. As I cut into it the dessert was curdeled and warm and then I realised that these had been sitting with little or no refrigeration. I took them back and the staff member got a new lot from the kitchen refrigerator. When leaving we saw the Danish pastries on a shelf facing the window in a tray that has custard inside them in no refrigeration format again it's a 37 degree day! Someone is going to get severe food poisoning if the place doesn't practice food hygiene practices especially in food handling and storage. As a Food Technologist, I wouldn't be recommending eating here until they lift there game. There is no excuse for not abiding with Victorian Food Standards.

I used to love this place. But all changed when i purchased a vanilla slice. The pastry was well over cooked almost burnt which left a very unpleasant taste in my mouth. In a sympathetic mood i walked in to make them aware of this. The lady kept denying what i explained and just did not want to listen AT ALL!!! Made me feel like a fool. Constantly telling me "people love this no one complain it meant to be crispy". Before i had a chance to show her the remains of the over cooked pastry, she got me so upset i had to leave. I Walked back in and placed the over cooked pastry on the counter and said "show the chef". This little issue could of humanly been resolved if only the lady (who i believe is the owner) was more open minded. EXTREMELY BAD customer service. As a regular i am very disappointed. Not that they care but i will...
