Their bagels aren't my favourite, but they have great quiches, and often at work we get their cakes for various occasions and they never disappoint. However ... with all of that said, the only real negative I can say is that they are a tad overpriced and to me, it lets them down. I also happened to buy a birthday cake, a mini quiche and a cookie and I had some sticker shock for sure. When the cookie was rung up and it said $5, I thought that was the mini quiche and cookie added up together. So that day I spent $51 and when I was leaving, I asked if there was a bag to put the cake in. The only bags were the cloth ones, and they were going to charge me .50c for one when I just spent $51. I had to do a whole separate transaction on EFT-POS just to pay for this .50c bag. I feel that not only are they a bit overpriced, but they need to use common sense when charging for a bag after someone has spent a certain amount. It's a bit off putting, however I'm sure the lure of their bubka (the best I've ever eaten anywhere) will get me back there eventually down the road ...

Until I book that flight I have found Melbourne's contender in the challenge and it is located inside what some say is also one of the best places to buy bagels in town, Aviv's. If you are planning to have people over for brunch I highly recommend pre ordering some mini bagels. Your guests will be as happy as I am when I go to someone's house for brunch and I see those little circles of holy dough.

The Bread Roll Shop has one of the best almond croissants and nutella doughnuts I have ever tasted…read morein my life. The atmosphere here is very inviting, the staff are so lovely, helpful and patient. More on that almond croissant though... so many fluffy flaky layers with a ton of almonds on top. This beats as all the other croissants I've had, as the others have have come with only have a couple almonds sprinkled here and there. I came here again the next day and had every intention of trying other pastries but just couldn't and had to have another Almond Croissant, they are soooo delicious! I do recommend following their Instagram page to keep up to date on different flavors and different pastries they are crafting throughout the year! You can't say you've had an amazing croissant without trying this place.

In the end I picked one of their beautiful scrolls and it was as good as it looked. There is something about the quality here that you don't often see - there is that personal touch in the dough that makes it different. The pie pastry is really great too - proper pie pastry, it's hard to get a pie like theirs anymore. But they have done it just right!!

We've been to this cafe twice in 2 weeks because our kids just love it!…read more The standout items have been their bagels, generously filled with slow-cooked brisket, pastrami, smoked salmon, and more! If my cholesterol-levels would allow it, I'd have the chopped liver every time :) Our kids love their meat pies with tomatoey minced beef and tasty chicken sausage rolls. And the kids schnitzel and chips is a steal for a huge serve at just AU$8. There are cute cookies for kids, and seriously yummy biscuits for adults. Don't go past their chocolate babka or poppyseed Danishes. You won't regret it! Best of all, service is attentive and amazingly friendly. A gem of a cafe on a deserted row of shops in Glenhuntly.

So far I've sampled a light rye load, the mini pizza's, jam donut, the apple turnover and their quiche. I wasn't too taken by the quiche but everything else was top notch. I've also heard very positive things about the hot meat pies. Their style is continental and they really do have a traditional honesty goodness. You can taste it. The three little bakers (and Bert) offer sweet baked goods, slices, hot pies and pasties, fresh baked bread plus a fresh sandwich bar. Oh and good coffee. The only small issue at the moment is lack of parking. Hopefully this won't be a problem for too long. Either way it's worth a visit!

From the sweets, to the sausages rolls, to all the great varieties of artisan breads, there's no way to go wrong. However the kranskys in pastry and meat pies are indescribably delicious, particularly the curry and the bacon pies. If I were marooned on a desert island and could only eat one thing for the rest of my days, it would be their meat pies. They have a nice courtyard area, with plenty of shade under trees and umbrellas, which is the best place to sit and enjoy their terrific coffee. Best of all, for me at least, is this place is just a three minute walk from my front door...and I'm getting up and walking there as soon as I post this review.
