I had a shredded chicken sandwich on focaccia bread and a hibiscus iced tea with cane sugar, which were both excellent.

There was no line up when we got in but I did notice a queue once we were inside. It's a cool spot! People rave about this place for the gelato and pastries and they're not wrong! It's tasty! Secured some of the goods, we got a croissant, lavender shortbread, cruffin, carrot cake and I also bought some coffee beans. The pistachio gelato was the highlight. They also have a fridge filled with some ravioli and soups etc! Good idea highly recommend this spot! Plus they have tons of parking spots

We were walking and saw a huge line so we continued walking, and then came back and the line was still long! We wanted to get some pasties and coffee so waited patiently (about 10-12 mins) in line. They have such a huge collection of pies, tarts, sausage rolls, croissants, cookies, breads and cinnamon rolls, etc. We couldn't decide what to get and don't want to go crazy as we had bought pasties earlier on from elsewhere, so bought two different cinnamon buns and a latte. The poppy seed and cream cheese cinnamon buns were incredible! Latte was delicious! Haven tried the rhubarb and strawberry cinnamon bun yet but looking forward to it tomorrow! There are limited tables and seats inside but it's crowded. The staff are friendly and the regular locals are amazing! We had a chat with the lovely folks in the line and they were recommending what they love, which was pretty special! I'm giving five stars because they deserve it - their food, drinks and hospitality.

I came for some cinnamon rolls as they are reputed to be the best around. However, since I got here 15 minutes before they closed, the lady in front of me bought the last two cinnamon rolls and I was left wanting. The staff here is very cool and helpful. Maybe some other time I can try a cinnamon roll.

We LOVE Hanks!!!…read more When we arrived just a little before 9am on a Saturday morning, there were about 10 people ahead of us and about another 5 waiting for their order. The place is truly a bakery haven! They have so much stuff, from croissants, quiches, pies, sandwiches, sausage rolls, cookies, breads, danishes, scones, cakes, etc! We found it so difficult to choose but went with their sausage rolls, quiche and latte. The staff were so friendly and wearing their beautiful warm smiles. We drove out to Mill Bay and had our breakfast by the water, it was magical with the sunshine. LOVED the sausage roll; so moist and flavourful. The pastry was so flaky and I'm not even kidding when I say I wanna go back again tomorrow!!! The quiche was also delicious. It had lots of potatoes and was very filling. Again, the pastry was delicious. The latte was also nutty and velvety! Such a beautiful experience! Parking was tight but we found one shortly after we arrived. Hanks have parking stalls reserved for its customers, so be sure to check and park at the right spot. It is free.
