La Banette Patisserie Boulangerie — Restaurant in Sydney

Picked up some Scones takeaway at the Mosman shop and found out it doesn't come with Jam or Cream, they were extra so I might as well get it and paid for it but instead of cream the staff gave me butter but by the time I found it I was already a couple of suburbs away and I was in a rush hence takeaway.

I was charged $12.00 AUD for 2 Sausage Rolls which were more carrot than meat and was asked if I wanted to pay extra for sauce! Also $3.50 AUD for the smallest Lemon Tart I've ever encountered! My advice is go a little further north towards Palm Beach and call in at Oliver's Pies. Really delicious fair dinkum pies at...
