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.

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!!!

Amateur cakes that look nothing like what you order on the website (checkout our photos). Our tiny…read more$115 cake was meant to be semi naked (sponge partially and rustically exposed) with artistic staggered drips. Instead, it was lopsided with inconsistent icing caked on without any exposed sponge; and the drips were sloppy uniformly spaced lines (checkout the photo of the pathetic cake). When we contacted them to raise the issue they denied having sold any cakes like ours today. Do not trust this disreputable amateur bakery with your special event. Like us, you will be left without a cake for your special event. Hopeless.
