Why didn't I take photo? Why? Far out. Ok. Just please believe what I will tell you. Coffee and fresh juices -excellent. I would say better selection than most other inner city cafe. Lunch- I had beautiful salsa with corn fritters ( bacon optional) value for money-5, taste-5 not oily or dense at all, tasty, sexy, just scrumptious!!!!!! Snacks- peanut butter bliss ball. Yes nuff said Cake- you know those orange cakes with edible flowers on top. Yes they have lots of those and all their friends too. I am talking bout a good 20 selection of beautiful fresh and delicate looking cakes. Not your local deli sponge cake or frozen cheesecake. No siree What else - how about fresh baked baguettes and bread, house made cookies and biscuits??? Don't forget the small selection of foodie things on their shelf that you can buy . Honey, preserves. Ohmygatrrtrrdfddd Someone tell them they are seriously undercharging. Awesome food awesome chef awesome everything!

On the evening of 13th September, having asked the owner of Buck's Bakery Café to cater for our…read moredinner dance, I was surprised when entering the venue at the Church Hall in Camperdown to note that the caterer was not present in the venue, not a sign of cooking any where. Tables unset. By 6.00 pm I was contemplating a call to the local fast food places as well as Colac to try and cover the possibility that we would be waiting a long time for the food to be cooked, believe me when I say I wished I had followed that inclination. When the food finally arrived pre cooked, it took some time to get the first course on the tables, the soup was cool, and not "cool man" nearly cold. The next course lamb, beef or chicken, lamb was grisly, chicken almost cold and the beef extremely tough, served with sweet potato mostly uncooked, and frozen vegetables mixed with cabbage, almost palatable. The dessert was cakes served with custard. During the course of the evening the specialty dish of haggis was supposed to be heated through by the catering staff, as I have said the caterer was not present at the venue when I arrived at 6.00pm, the haggis was still in the fridge, not on the stove as you would suppose at this time, taking a minimum of 1.5 hours to heat through, I had to place this on to heat, and the caterer's reaction to my comment that the "haggis had not been placed on the stove till I got there" - "What do you want me to do about it" - the potato and turnips were served with the haggis and by the time it got to the table mostly cold and uneaten. For the most part the patrons were totally unimpressed by the service, the food coming out two or three plates at a time, and complaints still ringing in my ears the request from the staff that we provide a cheque on the completion o f the evening, when this was given, the caterer and staff disappeared, leaving the ovens still on, gravy all over the floor, and in the cooking appliances, tables uncleared and glasses, cups and cooking utensils unwashed. The Uniting Church has a large more than adequate kitchen with modern appliances, it was clean, prior to the caterer arriving, not the case after his departure. Present on the night were members of the local council, local and out of town volunteer organisations, as well as out of town patrons, my point is these people paid for a service did they get this.........NO!

I LOVE their Chicken Curry pies. There. I said it…read more Being that I'm a non native, and only working in the area at the time, I ate here after work a few days a week after work because the pies were so good and fresh and quick. In the US we seem to only have chicken and turkey "pot pie" which is difficult to equate in terms of similarity, maybe like a hearty thick chicken cream soup in a pie with peas and carrots. I didn't see a single chicken pot pie in Australia. BUT I did discover this little wonderful bakery with their amazing assortment of other delicious fare. In particular, I loved their chicken curry pie. I added chipotle pepper from home to it to kick it up a notch and bring in that smoky lustrous flavor noted in that particular brand of pepper. I wish I could learn to make these and a number of their breads at home, I just can't seem to find any place in the US that I've been that compares.
