I can't visit Sydney without coming here. I've been to different Laduree locations around the…read moreworld. This one is located on the third floor of Westfield right by the escalators in the high-end shops wing. They have a small cafe area. They have have candles, perfumes, books, bags and of course, the perfect macarons. I picked up a box of macarons in my favorite flavors + the new flavors: lime basil, chocolate coconut marshmallow and chocolate Peru (which replaced chocolate Madagascar). They're about 4AUD a piece. For Laduree macarons, it doesn't even matter. Perfect shell, great fillings and flavors.

Passed by here and saw a signage that said best cookie or something to that effect and I thought it…read morewas for traditional cookies like chocolate chips, but it was for macarons. I decided to go in and check it out and saw they had unique flavours, so I decided to get three flavours to try. Got the unicorn, which is just vanilla, only because I got this for someone, so of course I didn't get to taste this one. Mango, Passionfruit & Macadamia - good, but I tasted more macadamia than mango and passionfruit. Pandan & Coconut Custard - thought it was great they offered this Vietnamese flavour and thought this was good as well. I wish they offered more flavours, but I would say I still prefer Laduree passionfruit more because I actually could taste it.

These macarons are made fresh on the premises and come in lots of delicious flavors: salted caramel…read moreand praline chocolate are especially great. You can pick up a box of 10 at about 1/3 of the price of Laduree, which are actually baked in Switzerland, frozen, and then flown all over the world (I didn't know this until today). Highly recommended!

The cake was delivered on time and looked as good in person as it did in the photos. I was told the Ferrero Roche cake was the best they've ever tasted. The staff was fabulous at communicating about delivery and arrival time as well. I will absolutely order again. Just so sad I couldn't try for myself.

They were really accomodating, I contacted them because I decided (after the fact) I wanted to add a note to the delivery. I was contacted immediatelly (even with the time zone difference!). Excellent customer service, and I was told the tarts were TO DIE FOR!! I look forward to order more items from the menu in the near future.... Love, love, love this place!!!

This Zumbo is located in the Macquarie Shopping Centre near the Woolworths. Good place to stop by…read moreafter doing a big shop! Offering the usual selections of bread, Zumbarons, Zonuts, and cakes as the rest of the chain. A selection of Zumbarons were chosen as it was bought as a gift for friends and easy to transport in their handy boxes. Service was a bit so so. As it was a slow time and not much passing trade and since we were taking a bit of time deciding on what flavours to get, the original server didn't end up serving us and went somewhere else to start sweeping. The other server eventually came over after we waved her down.

We bought a rhubarb danish from Macquarie Centre on Thursday around lunch time. My husband had it…read moreand that was a serious mistake. The passion fruit seeds (at least that's what I hope it was) cut his soft palate, and he was suddenly in so much pain. I checked his mouth and there was a huge 'blood bag'. We rushed to the Macquarie Uni GP and was told that he had developed oral hematoma from the food that he just ate. He had to be on liquid diet for 48 hours, and though the condition is not life threatening, hewas in constant pain for a week. I would give them a zero star if I could. And their PR response to the whole issue was just appalling.

I've seen Andrew (owner) about Newcastle markets for the past 5 years…read more He opened this shop about a year ago and the upstairs cafe about 2 years ago. Great custom made cakes, cupcakes and bites. A nice location to take the time to sit for a bite and a coffee. Menu also extends to Toasties, bagels & croissants. Friendly staff & service. But best yet, a great local business. Let's all support it.

I've had this place bookmarked for years. Maybe I'll try their dessert tasting menu someday, but…read morejust the regular desserts I tried were nothing spectacular. And on a late weekday afternoon, they were sold out of the drinks that caught my eye. The desserts are fine, but some of the prices are so expensive that I don't feel like I'd miss out on much if I didn't get them. The average price seemed to be $28 for a dessert smaller than the size of my palm. While some of the flavors were more unique, based on the ones I tried, they weren't actually good combinations or just blended together so that you might as well be eating one flavor.

I had hope to visit Koi during my last visit to Sydney, but I ran out of time. But for my most…read morerecent visit, it happened to be beside my hotel. After eating dinner somewhere else, my friend and I stopped at Koi for dessert. We go there only 30 min before close, so there weren't a lot of desserts left. We tried two of them - a pandan cake and a mango dessert. They were both beautiful looking, but don't recall being blown away by the taste. And it was very expensive. I thought to myself that it was not what I hoped. But I'll give the benefit of the doubt that maybe at the end of the night all they have the less popular desserts left. Next time I'm there, I'll give it another shot.
