Parrs Cross Bakery & Cafe — Restaurant in Waitākere Ranges

When it comes to bakery's. I personally don't care about the service. I'm there for the food & nothing else. This bakerys food use to be really good, but now, 100% seriously below average. The cream in the cream pancake taste and has the texture of 2 day old cream. The sausage rolls are dry, the chips (that were allegedly freshly made moments before I walked in) were stale, unpleasant, no flavour, and no salt despite asking for extra salt. The sandwiches were OK, except the fillings are deceptive. They look like they have lots of filling. But they don't. I asked for a reciept because I had concerns when it came to paying.

Prices are quite expensive..

This morning I ordered 2 Mochaccino’s & 1 Spring roll for $16.20!?

For that price I expected my coffees to be spectacular.. But it was far from it. About 1/3 of the cup was filled with froth. I hardly tasted any coffee let alone chocolate in these Mocha’s. A little disappointed.

2 Stars.

Customer service was good...
