Oaks Bakery Cafe — Restaurant in Victoria

Mixed feelings on this one. Disappointed mainly but it was not the worst. The girl that serviced us was friendly and a good start, but one of the other workers was not happy at all and seemed slightly bothered.

The cheese and bacon pie for both of us was okay. Flaky on top but the base was soft and a bit cold. Not a lot of flavour or much going on but was okay. 5/10

Shepards pie was better, quite enjoyable and the potato was very tasty with a decent amount! The potato was the star - 7/10

But now to the worst of it. The custard tart… I have had a few hundred custard tarts in my time from all over Australia and this was bad in a lot of ways. It was soggy, it fell apart and was impossible to pick up, we had to eat in in small pieces that we had to scoop in our fingers. The custard was completely separate from the pastry and tasted thin and watery. I was reeeaally disappointed because as soon as I walked in and saw them I didn’t hesitate as they looked so freakin good. It was also a little smaller than I expected, but really that’s not so bad, just added to the shock factor of it disintegrating as you try to eat it. I feel I’m being generous with the 3/10.

Lovely looking bakery thought and I am keen to try some other products, as their bread and other items did look good.

We don’t regret visiting at all and recommend to others to give it a try still! Seems like a good...

I dont need to be pampered as a random passer-by grabbing a pie lunch, but either the girl (only one front of house) was having a bad morning, or I reminded her of someone from kinder that destroyed her art project. Anyway I tried to be friendly and got iced.

I glance at the back and smiled at the men prepping more dough, and this doesn't portray your local friendly baker, but more like an Amazon packing line. They just stared back blankly, and I almost felt guilty coming to buy lunch and making them do more work.

Judging by the lack of response to their most recent reviews they dont really care.

My pie was OK, but the experienced just made it taste a lot more bland. Chicken wings around the corner at Yo instead. They were winning !!

Final rating 2 stars. Its not one, so I feel thats fair coz...

Shocking is the only word to describe my pie and the service from the manager at the joint, I ordered my pie and took a bite to find the most uncooked pie I have experienced, so as any normal costumer would do I took it to the counter and said this is uncooked… my response was that the meat was cooked so it’s ok and got turned around. Once again shocking guys. The manager also said that it was fine because he cooked it all in one batch this morning. ( even better champion) all of them were uncooked. Would not recommend, the bakery a couple doors down is much better and so are...
