What a great bakery. Everything a bakery should be - fresh, plenty of variety and even better if…read morethe price is outstanding. Now I am a sweet tooth but I have made a promise not to buy anymore donuts, cinnamon scrolls or apple Danish pastries as I am trying to loose weight. The bread is fresh and plenty of types available - you can ask them to slice it for you as well. My favourite bakery item is their quiches! For only $4.70 you can eat a Spinach Quiche Lorraine. Just ask the server to reheat the quiche as they are served cold. Highly recommend this bakery.

But I cannot put up with the poor service anymore, it's been on the decline for a while now with staff seeming to not care about their customers, but this weekend the final straw was being actively insulted by one of the staff.

This tiny little bread shop does a roaring trade. Nestled smack bang in the heart of Paddington,…read moreit's not unusual to see a queue out the door of this petit boulangerie. The windows have a great selection of breads, there's sourdoughs, rye breads, white breads, grain breads all the usual suspects. There's also flans, slices, pies, quiches, croissants, cheesey pastries and all the usual bakery bits. There's also sandwiches and a selection of drinks on offer. I love to grab a croissant from here to nibble on while cruising the shops on Oxford Street.

But today I was in a rush and was passing Boulangerie Patisserie, I saw sausage rolls and had an uncontrollable temptation (yes I was THAT hungry). I am relieved to say though that the sausage roll was really very good. It seemed to have been made with some sense of standards, it seemed to have actual discernable meat inside it was tasty and it didn't appear that it might have been sitting there a few days, but instead seemed fresh! It brought back the old sausage roll and tomato sauce memories from my childhood. I might go back for another.

The owner makes my favourite dessert but needs to ordered ahead. St Honeré, which if you are not familiar with, please believe me when I say it is heaven on earth! That said, I have never been disappointed with one item I've bought from this patisserie. Fresh whipped cream, flaky pastries, buttery croissants ....I could go on & on but I'm sure you get the idea. Cookies, buttery treats.... You are welcome! You can thank me later!! Parking in Plumer Road is busy but I always find a space.

Bread, pastries, cakes, quiches, hot food and cronuts are all visible from the window display wall overlooking Plumer Road. I am massive fan of their ham, and cheese croissant. While it is not as cheap as picking up the food from other stores, this is a place where you can grab a quick something for the weekend or the much needed pastries to get you through your work day. Parking along this strip is hit and miss - head onto Balfour if you don't mind a stroll around the leafy neighborhood.

Hungarian donut? Cone of deliciousness? Kürtösh? Call it what you want but it's so good!…read more My friend recommended the hazelnut Kürtösh but the pistachio one looked so good that I did what any normal person would do... got both! I preferred the pistachio Kurtosh. The hazelnut one was like candy on top of the cone and very crunchy like candy. These are made to order so take around 10 or 15 minutes. Not really ideal for a grab and go but was worth the stop. They have a ton of other pastries as well that are pay by the pound. The kurtosh was really good, especially with coffee. I wouldn't go out of my way to go here but if nearby I would definitely go again.

It's quite good. Honestly, I'd say forget the pastry twister and go one of the Slab Cakes instead. Oh, so good! So far, my favourite has been the Catastrophe Flourless Choc Cake. Or mayyyybe actually the Lemon Crumble Cheesecake. Pretty much mention Mum's Chocolate Cake and I'm ready to trip someone over for a bite! If you can't choose, you could order a sliver of each and call it day. This is the best bit about Kurtosh - everything is sold by weight, and there's no minimum (or maximum) for what you buy. So you can literally order a sliver each of four kinds of cake. Hoorah! Extra bonus: open late so you can pop in for after dinner dessert.

I'm not Australian but it tastes a bit different from the store bought lamingtons I've eaten before. If I ever go back to Sydney I would definitely go back to check out a different cake.

Maybe they don't have a sweet tooth down under as much as we do. You come in and there will be people perusing the counters, tray and tong in hand, making important decisions what to get. There is a cold fridge for their more delicate, frosted treats. I happen to walk in close to their closing time. They were announcing everything was 50% off everything with a few exceptions. With the US$ having about a 30% stronger buying power, I filled up a couple bags to bring home. Didn't have to worry about breakfast this time. Service, like most of Australia, is not something you want to talk about. The good thing is they do not tip down here. It's a good trade off as I'd rather save money.

This little cake shop definitely has location working in its favor. It was a Tuesday evening, I had…read morejust eaten dinner with a small group of friends to honor a birthday and was dismayed that we hadn't done the candle lighting, song singing, festivities that birthdays require. As we were walking up George St, I forced everyone inside of 85 in order to source the necessities to make the magic happen. I picked out a slice of the blueberry cheesecake and some mousey death-by-chocolate extravaganza and we continued down to Town Hall to sit on the wall (like classy girls do), eat cake and people watch. I was disappointed that the shop didn't have birthday candles, but we sang anyway. The cakes were, eh, decent. I wouldn't have been surprised to learn that the cheesecake was made out of shop and frozen. The chocolate mouse was fluffy but had some sort of strange plastic aftertaste. I would definitely NOT recommend this place for the quality of their desserts, but if you happen to be in the area and in a cake-related pinch, it will do. They are open super late on weekend nights as well, so that alone is a sizable pro.
