Rheinland German Cakes is a family-run hand-made cake business based in Hindmarsh, with outlets in…read moresupermarkets around South Australia. Many of the cakes are decidedly German - Black Forest, Sacher, Bee-sting cakes. They are certainly worth paying for - these are the kinds of complex layered cakes that take a whole day to make. There really is no point doing it yourself. As well as cakes they have pastries, berliners, pasties, pies and bread rolls. While some things are certainly better than your usual chain-store cake, others could do with a little more special attention. The Black Forest could do with more kirsch IMHO, and their breads aren't particularly special. The cake decorating style is a little old-fashioned for my taste - all cream swirls and chocolate flakes. Or big ostentatious shards of chocolate on the birthday cakes. Rheinland definitely make good cakes - but not *great* cakes.

It wasn't too spicy and had lovely chunks of lamb and potato throughout and the pastry was deliciously crisp and flakey. I also got a chocolate donut (so long diet) which was so large i couldn't finish it off. My friend graciously devoured the left overs. The staff are nice and friendly and i will definitely drop by the next time I'm in the mood to sabotage my body, because let's be honest..no one goes to a bakery if they're planning on dieting

Another one to add to the set of Adelaide's great bakeries…read more Goodwood Bakehouse is a genial little bakery on the Goodwood strip. Best to get in early because their pies and pasties sell out quick in the midday rush. The range of desserts is just as good, and more plentiful. They also have a sandwich bar set up at the side of the store if you're looking for a healthier option. A good display of their freshly baked bread also lines the back of the store. I recommend the larger, fresh made steak pies. Delicious and enough to feed a decent group of people. If the huge stacks of sausage rolls, pies and other baked delicacies you'll see in the kitchen behind the counter is anything to go by, Goodwood Bakehouse caters, and caters well. There's always a good selection of seasonally themed giftboxes to be had at the side of the store too, depending on what holiday we're approaching.

I have to say however - they did do gluten free cupcakes and they were done on short notice. The fact that this place is next to a brilliant chocolatier probably doesn't help. She had a Where's Wally themed party and the result was a white fondant with red fondant stripes which weren't uniform in size and didn't quite fit the cupcake tops. At $2.50 a cupcake, she really couldn't afford much and it was a little disappointing. I went home and made some of my own gluten free cupcakes and decorated them with piped colour and little Wally glasses. It didn't take much more imagination!! I have had others say that they've found the cupcakes here dry and I found the same thing. I've always experienced Gluten free cupcakes to have a bit more moisture if anything. Cupcakes and cake decorating is a great little creative business, but I feel that there are better places about and it is a disappointing follow up to what was a classic cupcake business from the 70's.

They are in the same block as Bracegirdle's which is huge competition, so they try to focus more on the cupcake catering. I ordered 100 mini ones for my 21st and they were amazing. They aren't very expensive and look so professional. I got 3 different flavours with colored icing and decorations like flowers and butterflys on top. They come well boxed so they don't move around and get squished and I hired a tiered stand for them to sit on. The cupcakes were so cute and pretty and everyone at my party loved them. They were soft, fluffy and flavoursome. And the lady was very nice and helpful, organizing exactly what I wanted and suiting me for when to pick them up etc.

Another store I'm grateful is not in my area, as I do love a good cream bun, but they don't have a bun, they have a cream range: eclairs, kitcheners, turnovers - dieters beware. Then there's the donuts and berliners to try to tear your eyes away from. For the savoury tooths you have a full pastry range, for the bread lovers plenty of the good stuff. On top of this they do specialty cakes that are to die for. In a nutshell - can't talk, eating!

FIRST STOP FROM THE AIRPORT…read more This is my first stop from the airport to where ever I'm staying and usually my last stop on the way to the airport. I adore coming here and keeping in touch with social media, you always know what different treats await you. They make cronuts like no one else in Australia and were the first to have them here. Coffee is fantastic and lunch meals fresh, BIG and yum. Parking at the back, the main road can be a bit of a pain but their court yard is tranquil and relaxed (unless I'm there with my nephews and nieces, in which case we all suffer together)

Two words: Meat Pizza…read more Remember these and you will make good choices when visiting Adelaide Lebanese Bakery. Avoid the pink building with the water fountain out the front (the local brothel, so I hear...) and walk into the shed like building next door to continue making good choices. Make an excellent choice by heading over to the display of beautiful baklava while your meat pizza warms up and choose at least two of these delectable treats. Realise that you have purchased lunch AND an afternoon snack for only a few dollars - probably around 5, and give yourself a little high five (try not to look like too much of a dork whilst doing this...) Spend the mounds of spare cash that you would have otherwise spent on lunch on an array of authentic Lebanese groceries. Do not, under any circumstances, be put off by the very basic presentation of this store. Accept the brilliant food and low prices for what they are - do not question excellence.

I've never even bothered to find out the name of the joint before, but have done the dusty hungover walk from my nearby house dozens of times. It is a tradition amongst my friends to come here for 'meat bread' when hungover - or as the Lebanese Bakery calls it 'meat pizza'. On your right as you enter is a big old woodfire oven and a list of breads you can order. A few are what we traditionally think of as pizza, most are delicious fillings wrapped in folded Lebanese bread. My favourites are the meat bread and the spinach and ricotta bread. Meat bread is a round lebanese bread, topped with spicy mince, tomato and onion, folded in half and cooked in the woodfire. Spinach and ricotta reminds me of a spanokopita, but better - a fresh lebanese bread, expertly folded into the shape of a triangle pasty and filled with friend spinach, red onion, spices and ricotta. DELICIOUS! Beyond the takeaway food, you can get fresh fruit and veg, yoghurt, cheese balls, halva, baklava (and other fresh nutty sweets), tinned food, cooking utensils, fresh breads, and some frozen foods too. Oh and a whole range of Lebanese music on tape and expired foreign candy. The staff are real friendly and this is a bustling little place on a Sunday afternoon.

I want Coconut bread, Purple sticky rice bread, red bean bread, Japanese white bread, or ham and cheese bread. Why waste your time with multi-grain or white. BORING. And this is only the bread. They make donuts and sweet buns also. I'm quite impartial to their Milky custard red bean bun and the milk de crunch. If you're in need of a quick lunch, they have that covered to! Savoury buns with just about any filling you can imagine inhabit the shelves of this store. UGH! BREADTOP! I LOVE ME SOME GOD DAM BREADTOP!!!!!

The people that work here are efficient, but not always very chatty.
