    I discovered this little gem after a year of working in clayton, while looking for somewhere decent…read moreto eat. It won me over with its quality food at great prices, something hard to find despite the numerous bakeries, cafes and other takeaways in the area. The staff are also friendly and very helpful. I go there every working day and the only fault I have is how busy it is!! Not a bad fault if you ask me...

    The Grain is a small bakery and café on Clayton Road in Clayton, a street replete with other small…read morebakeries, cafés and restaurants. My experience is limited to what they had on offer for takeaway, so I cannot speak to their café offerings. Given this experience, though, I would not want to try anything else. I purchased two Kaiser rolls from The Grain and two large pieces of baklava. Neither of these are particularly difficult to make, or at the very least there are many more elaborate and intricate breads and desserts one could make. The first tell of the impending disappointment was the shape of the Kaiser rolls. What makes a Kaiser roll distinctive is the five segments of the top bun. These can be made by folding the dough prior to baking (the traditional method), by cutting the dough after it has risen, or by using a purchased tool to do this. The rolls from The Grain had a faint trace of these distinctive lines, but this was marked by tears in the dough. The rolls themselves were dry and hard and completely inedible except for a pinch or two of soft bread in the centre. It was almost impossible to bit into the roll, and even when this was possible the bread was so dry and flavourless that there wasn't much point to trying to eat it. The most satisfying part to the rolls were the dull thud they made as they hit the bottom of my rubbish bin. The other item I sampled from The Grain was their baklava. Baklava is actually really easy to make, it just takes a lot of time to assemble. This also makes it easy to tell a good baklava from a poor one without even trying. A well made baklava has alternative layers of pastry and walnuts (which are mixed with sugar or honey). This is time consuming because the pastry layers are thing and require some care, they have to be wiped with oil or butter, and you have to be careful to spread the nuts evenly. If you were being lazy, you could put two thick layers of nut mixture between thick layers of pastry, as The Grain did. You still have the same amount of nuts and pastry, they're just lumped together. The problem with this is that it makes the pastry incredibly tough. I found it difficulty to cut the pastry with a fork--something that is difficult enough in a properly constructed baklava, let alone one with walls of pastry--and trying to bite through it wasn't much more successful. The next problem with the baklava was the nuts used. Traditionally one uses walnuts, or perhaps pecans if walnuts are not available, with pistachio as a garnish. I am no purist who requires walnuts, some of the best baklava I have had have been reimaginings using ingredients that were not available in the near east when the dessert first emerged. But, if you're already being lazy in the construction, it is not appropriate to substitute walnuts for almonds. The only reason to do this would be to cut costs given how much cheaper almonds are, which was not reflected in the very streep asking price ($4/piece). The use of almonds, the cheap construction and tough pastry all combine to make a truly terrible baklava. Given what I have experience of The Grain, this is one bakery/café to be avoided.

    With a child who has both egg and peanut allergies.. i was pleased to have found a bakery that…read moreactually caters to our childs needs. Eggless cakes!! Although it was a 30min drive from home.. given the high online ratings.. we were willing to make the trip!! I'd ordered a vegan unicorn cake for my daughter's 3rd birthday online 2 weeks ago!! I called the store 2 days prior to confirm my order and pick up date and time. Just for my own piece of mind i called again the day before pick up to confirm again.. i was assured both times that it was all fine!! On arrival we were asked to wait 5mins... then 15mins later we were asked to wait another 5mins... 20mins later and after 2 other customers had come in to pick up their orders i ask what the hold up with my order was. The lady behind the counter proceeded to tell me that the cakes are baked fresh on the day and they were just finishing up the final touches!? When my order finally came out i instantly noticed that the paint on the horn and ears were still wet. I pick up the box and notice that it is warm... mind you the cake was covered in icing!! By this point i realised that my order was either forgottten or left to the very last minute!! As i walk out of the store and head to the car... i noticed that the cake was slowly collapsing to one side and the icing was melting off... so i turn around and head back into the store.. by the time i place the cake on the counter it had completely collapsed!! By this point it was too late to try to fix the cake!! By now... after all the waiting we were pressed for time so i ask for a full refund!! The lady at the front hesitated and proceeded to tell me that the order was ready and packed!! By this point i was fuming and demanded my refund!! So she proceeds out the back and sends out a bearded lady who... with attitude.. asked me what the problem was!! Really... is this bearded lady for real?? I told her that i wasn't happy about the service and i want my money back and that my time had already been wasted and i will not leave without my refund!! She went out the back and sent the original girl back up front to FINALLY give me my refund!! Not once in this whole unfortunate situation did they offer an apology or to try rectify the problem!! This is by far the poorest service/customer service i have ever had!! I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone... if anything i would advise anyone to steer clear of this place!! I am forced to give this place a 1 star rating as without it i wouldn't be able to post this review!! How this place even has such high reviews shocks me... Must all be from friends and relatives.. lets be honest!!! I thought my daughters birthday was ruined... but thanks to Abby from The Cupcake Desire at Fountain Gate for saving her birthday!! Isher Cakes... you should be ashamed or your service!! Thanks for nothing!!
