But it's also oddly charming, in the way that all the little shops on Katoomba's main (and kind of only) street are charming. I only ducked in for takeaway but the Cantonese Pepper Beef and Rice I got was a gigantic Orc-sized serving, and came out piping hot in about 5 minutes flat. They do a bunch of $7.90 lunch specials too, but you gotta get in before 3pm.

I hadn't been to Wentworth Falls in a while and was thrilled to find this Asian grocer/ vietnamese pork roll/sandwich shop open. In an area of Sydney, how can I put this, not exactly known for its ethnic diversity, these kinds of ingredients are rarer (and taste better) than the proverbial hen's teeth. Shelves and shelves of sumac berries, candle nuts, spice pastes and mixtures, crockery, dumplings, yuzu juice, wasabi okra (no idea what that's like, but I'll give it a go). Asian food-deprived foodie paradise. Prices seemed really good, and there's lots of little signs suggesting recipe ideas and uses. Staff making lunches at the back were friendly and although their signage was a little confusing, I believe they do lunches between 10-2 on weekdays, including gluten free rice paper rolls. You've got a new regular.

Subtly, off to the corner are framed awards, including a Gold for Best Pepper Steak Pie from Baking Association of Australia's "Great Aussie Pastie and Australia's Best Pie Competition". When customers began asking about pies catered to various dietary restrictions, owners Ann and Phillip Ireland explored the idea. Ann even spent time in the gluten-free section of grocery stores listening to people talk about products. After many months of trial and error, they finally came up with a recipe they felt met their quality standards and it quickly became a hit. Now, Penrith Pies and Pastries boast one of the largest selections of baked goods in the area. They've even altered the recipes for their take-home gingerbread house and Easter egg kits to be gluten-free

A successful Australian take on French classics with only occasional false notes…read more The rhubarb and apple turnovers are the stars; the high price intrigued me for a pastry this small but the balance of sweet, sour, bitter, the sugary crust and the layers of buttered pastry simply worked so well that I had to come back the next day and buy more. The apple pie was similarly well realised, with just enough sugar to balance out the acidity in sufficiently sour apples to set off the pastry. Again this perfect sugar crust. The peach danish was also a hit. The (wholemeal sourdough) bread is somewhat less successful in the sense that the bubble network is too dense, the bubbles too small; as a part time amateur boulanger I know just how hard it is to get this right, and at least they are evenly distributed and the salt is correct with a well caramelised crust. The pain au chocolat is perhaps on the level of a second quartile boulangerie in France, the same chocolate is used as the mass market ones there but the boulanger has chosen a lighter style than the heavy butter bombs that represent the best examples back home; similarly the egg glaze is not particularly shiny or present which is another missed opportunity for a Proustian madeleine for us frogs far from the pond. This is not a bad thing though, as you can enjoy more pastries in one go. The cookie was not really a cookie, more like a "sable" - a biscuit hard throughout. The addition of hazelnut is a difficult one, as it makes the texture crumblier and drier, less held together than a normal chocolate cookie would be. Finally, the churros reminded me of a stretched out canelé which is a very good thing indeed. It does mean quite soft, custardy innards which may be unexpected to those used to normal churros. I haven't tried the rest of the selection but appreciate their choice to focus on best selling, safe, classic items rather than do wild experimentation leaving half the stock unsold on the shelves and forcing the customer to think a bit more before trying something new.

Their specialty is a loaf using potato in the sourdough mix. The bakery also sells full sized cakes, slices, foccacia, danishes and more.

Grab a cookie with the soft centre, apple turnover or a lemon curd and pistachio snail! Put it on your Katoomba visit list.

Here are the opening hours and quiet/busy times.

Still, I'm a big online fan because otherwise I can spend half a day looking for somewhere to eat. And the online menu does say they love people with allergies. However there is no mention of gluten or gluten free on the menu. Maybe this is related to the tightening of Australian rules into "gluten friendly" rather than gluten free. Since their specialty is hot sandwiches, I'm up in the air on the gluten front. If they will allow choosing from the sides and extras menu, that would be perfect. I also like how many of their prices have stayed reasonable, with five dollar coffees, I don't know if I can eat them but their egg sandwiches for Brekky look positively dreamy.
