Listen, I was just regaled with one of the most horrific stories I've ever heard. Yesterday my mother and heavily pregnant sister were out for a day on the town and decided to treat themselves to some lovely bakery food. Let me set the scene: They enter the warrila bakery with high hopes, upon first viewing everything looks good. "Gourmet" even as they would tell it. Quite excited they order a sausage roll, a meat pie, a caramel slice and what they described as a godly sized Lamington. Naturally, like any normal woman who's just purchased an assortment of goodies they were eager to dive into the assumed delectable haul. They start with the pie. The pastry was good, but the inside was a "jelly" texture with essentially no genuine meat involved in the equation. Sitting this aside my mother asked if she could share my sister's sausage roll only to discover that this too was severely lacking in the meat department. I know they say size doesn't matter but when you're looking at a little strip of meat flopping around in a hollow pastry tube then I'm afraid we've got some problems on our hands. "Okay" they decide. "At least we've got desserts!". The caramel slice was less than satisfactory with a crusty breadish base and an unusual consistency on top. At this point, ladies and gentlemen, it's looking grim.

I am very sad to say that what my family received was in fact, not a lamington but a stale old, rock hard hot dog bun with some sad cream and a few globs of jam on top. Shattered. Absolutely obliterated. Needless to say, we will...

It’s almost perfect really, I did need to add on more mayo at home but that’s personal preference. I do think the amount of pork on the roll is on the lower side and I paid for extra crackling which I do wish had slightly more. However the veggies taste pickled and delicious, the pate is savoury and they loaded up the onions as per my request with no extra charge! The rolls themselves are...
Read moreHad a DELICIOUS roast pork bahn mi. Served by two wonderful bakers. Also not sure what bee was in the bonnet of another reviewer but I had both a lamington and caramel slice. The caramel slice, so good. A little sweeter and crunchier base than I'm used to but the caramel and choc layers absolutely classic. The lamington was a 10/10 classic country bakery lamington. Soft, light sponge, classic chocolate and coconut coating. Was just passing through but next time I'll make the time to stop...
