This cute little patisserie opened up only a few months ago, and fortunately (or not?) for me it's…read moredangerously close to where I live. I've gone many many times and keep going back. 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.

"World-shaking."…read more Not normally how I'd describe anything, let alone a patisserie, but - mon dieu! - what slice of provincial France exists here in outyling suburbia. They serve coffee in bowls. Bowls! Where are we, Biarritz? There's always a queue, a necessary evil I'm afraid but then, with the sheer Gallic quality of, oh, let's see, *absolutely everything* they produce (in the bakery you can see with your own two eyes (three if you're Tasmanian) out the back of the shop, no less), I'd be worried if there weren't a queue. And really, they could charge what they want, these taste magicians. Their artisan skillz endow them with a virtual license to print money. But do they? They do not! A regular latte is a mere $2.80. Say whaaat?! If you don't get in afore 8am you won't even see a Country Loaf let alone snag one. You'll be left with perfect baguettes, homemade jams, petit fours, and the best almond croissants I've ever tasted (and I once adjudicated at the Best Almond Croissants Awards).

In an area starved for freshly made, artisanal pastries, Ganache is the real deal when it comes to…read moreauthentic French baked goods. Arrive anytime after 10 in the morning and you'll find a seriously depleted selection of breads (their country loaves are a personal fave), but the range of sweets is grazed on throughout the day as guests stop for morning and afternoon tea. Considering the perfection of their pastries and intricacy of each creation, the prices are more than reasonable - just $1.60 for their mini items like raspberry tartlets and coffee éclairs, or $4.50 for a larger items, like the individual roasted, caramelised macadamia cake covered in dark chocolate ganache and flecked with edible gold. The seats are scarce with only some four tables on hand inside, but try to grab one if you can to get the full Gallic experience: the woman regularly manning the till speaks with a bona fide accent, the coffee served as bowls of café au lait rather than paper takeaways, the chairs familiar black-and-white Parisienne wicker creations.

I'm telling you, the bread is awesome, not too sweet but just enough to comfort you after a long morning. Pick up a coffee whilst you're at it, and you've got a smashing deal of $4.99. Full tummy, caffeine in and you're ready to power through the whole day. What I love about them is their cleanliness, their freshness (all bread is made fresh daily) and their friendly service. Conveniently located next to Coles in Chatswood Chase, there's plenty of parking and no excuse not to get yourself down here for some excellent pastries and baked goods.

From the outside Le Patissier Cafe is somewhat unappetizing. It's not inviting like a traditional…read moreFrench patisserie this is for sure. But when you take the couple of stairs up to the shop counter you are taken in to cake heaven. Mini cakes, birthday cakes, big cakes, cream cakes. There's also mousse, hand made chocolates, pastries, pies, paninis, tarts, cream brulee, meringue, macaroons, slices and biscutes. If it's sweet they probably have it. It's not Patisse (as seen on Master Chef) but it is a tad cheaper and some of the creations are impressive enough to buy for a special occasion. The Cognac Truffle ($26.50 for a small), Cherry Tart ($17.90 for a small) and Daquois ($28.50 for a small) look delectable. But the top of the top is the Bavarois with its chocolate sponge with rum syrup, layers of buttercream and meringue pieces and dark chocolate curl finish ($28.50 for a small). Death by chocolate... possibly. I'm not 100% sure about the green frog, black mice or the odd looking yellow duck cakes... for the kids I assume given you can handle the mega sugar high they're likely to have afterwards! They do cater for events and will deliver any order over $40 for free.

(insert superhero theme) This place has a lot and i mean lots of varieties of cakes, pies, tarts etc. On one side you have the coffee area and mini cakes etc on the opposite end they have the cakes for birthdays and other special occasions. The seating area is along side the arcade and at the back of the store. They serve hot pies and sausage rolls as well as small quiches or family sized quiches for those quick dinner nights. Order and pay at the counter if you would like to dine in. They will hand you a table number and bring out your food/coffee. Can be a bit slow if there is queue waiting to be served but staff are friendly and helpful.

Also the staff just took it in n out to show to their colleagues, finally they damaged all the edge of my cake and just repack it and pass to me. Also they just deleted my comment form Facebook.

Meeting on a Saturday morning to discuss business at our studio space I had the sudden urge for…read morepastries. Being a man who isn't often caught with a pastry in hand, this was a new and unusual feeling, both exciting and scary simultaneously. A frightening and eye opening emotion, this wanton desire for pastries. I said to my fellow compatriots, "Who wants some pastries?" The next thing I knew I was on a pastry finding mission through the streets of Willoughby slash Chatswood. Now, would you believe me if I told you that a pastry shop, or bakery, as they're also known, is very difficult to find in this upper north shore district? Well it's true. Up High Street I walked, turning onto Victoria Road, a quick detour down Penshurst and then back up Victoria to continue my way towards the centre of Chatswood. A thriving metropolis and definite pastry seller. Finally, halfway to the station, I found Sweet Delight, a small Vietnamese Bakery, and while the exterior might not scream Boulangerie or Stylish French Patisserie, once inside; the smell of fresh bread climbed my nasal peaks and made the ol' factory feel new again. I ordered a selection of snails, tarts and buns and had them all quartered to better distribute the goods amongst my peers. The price was nice and the pastries nicer, satisfying that strange and lingering urge to eat sweat sugary bread. There is a strong nostalgic feel to this place for me and I can only assume that it must be somewhat similar to a bakery from my childhood. Nevertheless, Sweet Delight, while, maybe not a fancy hip bakery, has a good selection of breads and cakes, drinks, sells the Sunday paper and has a few tables and chairs inside and out for those who wish to have a coffee with their breakfast snail.

And Sweet Delight Bakery. It's big and clean and if you go in there hungry you're already gone, son. Today I was in the mood for a banh mi and you know how banh mi stations are normally kinda messy and there's stuff everywhere and some of the ingredients don't look that appealing? This one is the Kate Upton of pork roll stations, everything is big and bright and bountiful, I wanted to climb in there and roll around for a while. They're generous with the chilli and the roll itself is ginormous, a proper hand torpedo. AND you'll get change from a fiver. Or stump up an extra buck and get a coffee, too. Schwing!
