Deli Fresco at Bondi Junction is a delicatessen that has a generous, salivating selection of cold…read moremeats, cheeses and antipasto. They've won numerous awards for their top quality gourmet food products and are friendly and helpful too. I was lucky enough to try one of their creamy, ricotta cannoli the other day that was on sale just outside their store at east gate shopping centre. They have a good selection of cheeses, including hard and soft cheeses, bries, raclette and daily specials too, the blue cheese on special the day I visited was $4. Their selection of olives also look fresh and more varied than your normal deli, Im looking forward at trying their anchovy filled olives on my next visit.

This deli is the real deal - fresh, interesting product and helpful staff. Highly recommended.read more

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 ;)

Has freshly baked rolls, sliced bread, sweets such as tarts, brownies, slices, cakes you name it! They also serve freshly made pork, chicken or salad rolls! Very tasty and around $5 or under it's definitely a bargain! Bon a petit!

There are delicate cakes for that special morning tea or something larger. If you are wanting bread to feed the thousands...well this is the place...when a loaf is for $2. However the loaf will not remain fresh the next day...I believe there are very few preservatives in their bread ( all the better I say!) Freeze the bread and it is really good for toast. If you need a healthy lunch this little bakery does a fantastic bread roll filled with a variety of salads and cold meats. There is always a crowd at lunchtime and the ladies are quick at whipping up a sambo for the hungry worker. This is a little find and I always buy my bread from here.

Step out of daggy ol' Willoughby and into Provincial France by way of Miss Saigon…read more Faded brass and warm timber and iron birdcages and pain au chocolats and banh mi and a line out the door of people who are busy watching people except for the ones that are basking in the million dollar glow thrown off by the shelves of golden baked goods that run down the length of the delightfully cramped little shop cum bakery cum makes-you-jealous-the-decor-is-better-than-your-house cafe. My takeaway pork pate banh mi is presented in such a beautiful cardboard-and-cellophane box it makes me want to write a haiku, or something in iambic pentameter perhaps. The tomato and onion meat pie is a revelation, with loads of cooked-but-still-crunchy onion and ripe tomato. The coffee is strong and sweet and smoky, which sounds great on paper but left me a bit meh, but then again I'm Pisces and known for being fickle and capricious, so maybe I'll like it next time. Awful lot of long sentences in that review. Ever since the price of full stops went up I've found my sentences getting longer and longer.

Sugar Plum Cake Shop has been open for decades and sells yummy cakes, pastries, pies and sausage…read morerolls. Everything is reasonably priced and the sweet treats in the window are incredibly tempting when you walk past the display. It's an old school style patisserie and the owners are incredibly friendly and sweet! The two co-owners regularly asks how you are as they prepare your food. Sugar Plum Cake Shop is the perfect place to stop by if you have a sweet tooth. The meringues, sausage rolls and chocolate eclairs are extra good! They also custom make cakes upon request for special occasions. There is also plenty of variety in the store. Drinks are also available but are limited to soft drink, water and flavoured milk. While the pastries are nothing special, they are still good when you want a quick bite to eat.

"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.

There is ample seating out the from with the gas heaters but we were soooo cold we opted for indoors. We were here well after three but they were still serving lunch and it looked pretty good. Our needs were coffee and something sweet. It didn't disappoint, very nice coffee and really good biscotti. With plenty of competition in the area the baristas and the pastry cooks need to be on their game. We will definitely detour here for lunch one day.

I have to honestly say the saving grace is that Papas provide the cakes here. The coffee is average and absolutely nothing special. The only interesting thing is their selection of tea - I had a Japanese lime green tea, which was extremely different. The food is what you would expect from a suburban cafe, but again nothing special - specifially has you have a lot of different places right next door.
