Used to go here all the time and get their desserts and afternoon treats but recently some things have changed and the quality sadly isn't as good. For one we used to love the tiramisu, it was always our local go to for birthday cakes as it was so good but the recipie has changed and not for the better, it's too watery and soggy and tastes more like cheesecake. We picked up an apple turnover here for an afternoon snack and there was hardly any apple in it at all. It was 80% cream and pastry and for the price of $5ish, that's not great. We may come back if the quality gets better, but for now it's just OK. I was surprised coming in around 4:30 to find a lot of their pastries and cakes still there, as in the past all the best stuff was usually gone by 4, so maybe it was an off day or less locals are buying from here.

Read moreThis is a great little suburban bakery which sells all the old favourites as well as some new ones. I love their custard tart, which they usually get right, though I've eaten here so often that occasionally it has felt like the previous day's produce. Still, they have a great recipe for their custard and if they could just get the pastry more consistently perfect then I would change my review. The cream buns are delicious too, as are the pineapple tarts. They also do great pies, and they are now getting the temperature right by using a bit more heat in the oven. I need to go back soon, since I travel from Surry Hills to be taken back to my childhood eating all the good old fashioned cakes and pies that I...
