This cute little patisserie opened up only a few months ago, and fortunately (or not?) for me it's…read moredangerously close to where I live. I've gone many many times and keep going back. Their basic croissants are some of the best of the city, and definitely one of the very rare "real French croissants" you can get this far from the super trendy suburbs of Sydney. Their other pastries keep changing and it feels like the variety increases every time I go have a look. Raspberry danishes, almond-chocolate croissants, rhubarb and strawberry foldeovers and much more. They also do sandwiches, quiches and I've seen meat pies too, so even those without a sweet tooth will find something good to eat. And coffee - it's good to finally have another decent brand of coffee in the neighbourhood, and I've always been happy with my lattes.

Now I am a sweet tooth but I have made a promise not to buy anymore donuts, cinnamon scrolls or apple Danish pastries as I am trying to loose weight. The bread is fresh and plenty of types available - you can ask them to slice it for you as well. My favourite bakery item is their quiches! For only $4.70 you can eat a Spinach Quiche Lorraine. Just ask the server to reheat the quiche as they are served cold. Highly recommend this bakery.

Instead, it was lopsided with inconsistent icing caked on without any exposed sponge; and the drips were sloppy uniformly spaced lines (checkout the photo of the pathetic cake). When we contacted them to raise the issue they denied having sold any cakes like ours today. Do not trust this disreputable amateur bakery with your special event. Like us, you will be left without a cake for your special event. Hopeless.

My Apple turn over was nicely glazed, sweet and slightly tanginess from the apple, which I assumed Granny Smith apple, cooked to perfections, still have a bite to it and ration between pastry and feeling, just right. 2. They served a good coffee, everything is just perfect, form the caffeine dosage through the perfect milk temperature. 3. Quick service, friendly and come with smile. Efficient service even though cafe was busy at 11.30pm, well done! Keep up good work guys!

I request to change another but all the staff (4 staff include the chef) insisted that it is the one and refused to do anything. Even the chef said it's normal to look like that!! Also the staff just took it in n out to show to their colleagues, finally they damaged all the edge of my cake and just repack it and pass to me. Also they just deleted my comment form Facebook. What a service ! They "USED TO BE" nice patisserie that I purchased for almost every celebration in the past. Don't buy Unless you expect the cake won't look the same as you order. Otherwise, never in the future.

Yes they have seats and coffee - but the menu is quite small, however, the baked goods are amazing. Saying that, I love the salmon toast! With pears, trust me it is a winner.

This is my happy place. And what a wonderful, happy place it is…read more Their cake selection has gone noticeably fancier over the years but they still make my favs, the vanilla slice (which is now called mille fueille, excusez moi) and the profiteroles...the once cool bite-size pastry before macarons overtook every bakery in Syd. Both their individual serving and party cakes are delicious and well prized. I've noticed the cafe has gone quieter in recent years, possibly because sugar is poison now and no one wants a cake made with flour and cream instead of raw yak milk and activated broccolini...none of those here, just bloody great cakes.

Today this very traditional patisserie still stands proud in Rose Bay. All the baking is done on site and a huge arrange of cakes, pies, sweets and breads are always too tempting to pass up. This bakery has had some impressive bakers pass through its doors - I read that famous pastry chef Adriano Zumbo did his apprenticeship here. If you're in the area then a trip to Dobinsons is a must. Like I did 20 years ago and still do today, grab lunch and head to the little beach tucked away behind Rose Bay shops. Unbeatable.
