Where the bank clerks used to sit are huge plates of baklava or nougat or monster Easter eggs due to the season. They also sell gelato and cakes. If you want to have a coffee there is space for that too.

This place is Middle Eastern dessert heaven. The only thing I could recognise was the baklava so it…read morewas a bit overwhelming when I first went here, wanting to get one of everything without really knowing what they were. 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.

The tarts and pastries are on point and coffee is great! Only problem, they seem to been going up in price higher than inflation by a mile, but which shop isn't these days especially when you're good!

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 ;)

I saw one nice look clean cake shop so I stopped and I ordered…read more Profierole cake-I guess this cake place make by order not baking park the toppings including chocolate because I ordered and I waited 10 mins . Right after I ordered the lady who's work there went in the back and bring the cake . If not?? Take forever to cut cake lol so Hopefully they make by order anyway this cake kind of taller than the other cakes from the other shop. So when they put the cake inside doesn't fit . So they have to cover only half way. To me why they can't make bigger boxes.... because most of cake here kind of tall.. maybe this place concept? But to me no make sense.. anyway well let me bite this cake . Puff on the top of the cake ! Sounds weird but! It's good match so if I have to explain easy way you can imagine eating chocolate cake with cream puff lol it's sweet if you like sweet good but to me only the puff part was good! But with cake was too sweet.

Worst cake shop ever. Paid $120 for a tiered cake but no box to fit. Therefore paper bags sticky…read moretaped to cover gaps. Presentation crap and cake dried out. No calls to confirm cake arrival.

It is a very cute place. Interior is very comfortable and joyous. The customer service is very good. I would give them zillion stars if I could . Wait... I think they sell other food such as pasta? But not sure. Anyway must try place with quality food and very good customer service. Thank you for your great service.

This is the worst place i've ever ordered a cake from! i had my 26th birthday last night and i…read morepayed the full price for the cake, 2 weeks prior to the event which was $190. The worker told me that he'll deliver the cake to me on the day, which never happened due to the fact that he didn't show up and we didn't get a cake. I called him multiple times and he never answered. So i ended up having no birthday cake and my money got stolen from that horrible business. Do not get a cake from there. You will get robed like me, horrible business and sketchy workers!

As a coeliac, I would avoid Cake Mania like the plague. I was sold a 'gluten free' cheese and…read morespinach triangle there, only to end up so sick that an ambulance had to be called - it turned out the cheese and spniach triangle was not gluten free at all. I understand that mistakes can happen - obviously the girl who served me was not completely aware of which products were and were not gluten free - however, when myself and my colleague went back to explain what had happened, the manager seemed completely uninterested, acting like it was somehow my fault for not realising it was not a gluten free product. No apology was offered, and nor was I even offered my money back for the product that had made me so sick. Definitely an experience that has left a bad taste in my mouth (in more ways than one!).

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!
