Village Walk Bakery — Restaurant in Newcastle-Maitland

I've stopped by here a hand full of times because I work in the area. I get a variety of different things like rice paper rolls, bread roll banana bread, a sandwich and even tasted some of the sweets. I seem to always get served by this one particular female worker. Each time she serves me, she is not patient and has zero customer service skills.
