I tried this bakery for the first time today and I was pleasantly surprised by my overall…read moreexperience. The store itself was rather gloomy and not much life to it. The staff weren't the friendliest, I didn't receive a single smile or attempt at conversation but at the end of the day you go to a bakery for the food. I ordered a Roast Pork roll with extra butter as I usually do. I paid an extra 50c for extra butter and the lady put the same amount butter on my roll as my partners who only got the normal amount of butter. Not a big deal as its only 50c but abit irritating. Overall the roll as a whole was delicious! Good quality pork, the veggies tasted fresh and all complimented each other. Would recommend to check it out if in the area.

The Arndale Bakery is a surprisingly popular spot, considering it's nearby competition of Kilkenny…read moreBakery and Rheinland Boutique Bakery. This is definitely the least appealing of the three; there is nowhere to sit, except for two single chairs flanking the door, the atmosphere feels more like a warehouse than a bakery, as the walls are stacked with boxes of various packaged products, and the clientele can be somewhat...frightening. I queued up with a loud woman in a wheelchair, a man who smelt like he hadn't seen a shower in years, and a tradesman with less than room temperature IQ. And we were all there for the Vietnamese pork rolls. Their rolls are $3.50 for single meat or $4 for combination or Thai chicken. I went the Thai chicken - delicious! Suspect paste on the bottom - I don't want to know its ingredients - yet full of fresh coriander, cucumber, carrot, and tasty chicken. I also tried a rice cake of some description - I wouldn't go there again. It had the taste and consistency of thin rice noodles cooked into a clump and piled with sugar. The other sweets in here look aed little too colourful and creamy - I like my colour as real as possible, same with my cream, so I stayed away. Definitely worth venturing in here for the rolls though. Follow the locals, they know where it's at.

This Rheinland Bakery is smaller than its Port Road equivalent, and doesn't do coffee! This aside,…read moreit still has a good range of sweets and great prices (though they're a little higher here than at the original). The sweets at this bakery always have a hearty feel, and remind me of German food. I ate so many sweets when in Germany, it's nice to relive it with thick and tasty sweets here. Their danishes are my favourites, especially the mini ones, because you feel less bad about eating several if they're mini. Their pies are cheap and tasty, and great to grab and go. They also have great specials on later in the day, so it's always worth having a look.

Pretty average. I feel like a snob and a jerk saying it, but Adelaide has a lot to offer and this…read moreplace is not worth making a special trip for. The coffee is sub par, if you're thinking about quitting coffee, then try this place. It'll probably scare you off coffee for a while. The pastries I've had were not cooked right - soggy pastry and scorching hot fillings. Not enjoyable. I can't say anything to how the taste is because I Burnt my mouth and could not taste anything for the rest of the day. You could spend your money better.

The bread is really yummy! I've never been able to find the bread that they sell here anywhere else. They also sell hot foods such as sausage rolls, pies and pasties, along with pastries such as donuts and cakes. If you want a quick fix then hit up the Kilkenny Bakehouse. The best thing about this bakery is that nothing is over $4. In fact I don't think anything even costs $4. The highest amount I've seen is $3.50. You can't go too wrong for that price!
