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.

After a friend of mine suggested Bourke Street Bakery in Parramatta to try out their infamous Creme…read moreBrulee, I was eager to have a taste. Unfortunately for me, they had sold out of Creme Brulees (I arrived their at 3pm so i guess they must be pretty popular) However, FORTUNATELY for me, since I was already lured into the bakery and gawking at the delicious tarts, I had the urge to purchase two of the tarts (~$10 together) which I do not regret depositing most of my daily calories into. The furnishing of the interior and exterior of the store is quite retro and the feels of raw-ness, but its just the perfect balance. I will definitely be coming back for a visit,.. until I get my creme brulee ;)

Luckily, that isn't the case and I have absolutely no non health-related reservations about visiting Pie Face. The concept is simple - the face on the top denotes the type of pie that you're getting. This brilliant marketing ploy isn't limited to pies - the type of coffee you get is also highlighted by the sleepiness of the face on it. Super sleepy = decaf. HYPERAWAKE = espresso. Brilliant, non? Aesthetic value aside, Pie Face is rad - the kitsch doesn't undermine the food; each pie is (apparently) hand made, and while the validity of that claim might be lacking, the pies certainly aren't. Pie Face has made pies cool - no longer the domain of tradies and late-night drunks, pies are now firmly in the gourmet category. Both sweet and savoury, Pie Face's ingredients include tomato chutney, gravy and pecan (not together, obviously). Delish!

And also as a newbie, I had no idea how the ordering system works, but I got by when I said to the lady at the counter, "Can I get five pieces of...." walked to wherever it was and pointed to what I wanted. On my second visit, I discovered that you need to specify which plate size to get and then you can point and pick what you want. The big plates seem to be good value for parties or events. There's hardly any labels at their displays so it's hard to know what exactly it is that you're getting if you're not familiar with what they are. I think we've tried the sfoof and one flavour of their baklava, which are now both my favourites. They are pretty sweet and can get a bit sickening if you eat too much at one go, but delicious nonetheless, and great to get the garlic smell off your breath after a meal at nearby El Jannah. There are some tables and chairs for eating in, I reckon it would be good to get a group of friends together and get one of everything to get a sampler of what they have.
