Matchsticks
Paula S.

It has been under a new ownership for a while. Talked to the owner and she is very focused on providing authentic Australian dining experience to her customers, including great customer service. There are a lot of Australian products for sale as well. The atmosphere is pleasant and you also can enjoy outside seating with the wiew to the beautiful Marietta Square. If you do not care for the street noise, sit inside. This time I had a Matchstick, fluffy layers of puff pastry, jam and lots of whipped cream. It was heavenly. Enjoyed it with large cup of very tasty coffee. The cafeteria is not open from dusk to dawn, so before you go check their website. You will not be disappointed. I'm going back soon.

The shop windows have kangaroos and that was our attraction!

Australian Bakery Excellence! Friendly shop owner, scrumptious desserts! As we strolled through the Marietta Square we noticed the bakery with the large kangaroos in the shop windows! Being curious, we had to go in and check out Australian foods! The display cases were filled with beautiful pastries, pies, cookies and more! We couldn't resist a couple sweet treats and our tastebuds were delighted! The restaurant has fish and chips, food/meals made to order, meats and grocery items. There is plenty of indoor seating if you want to stay a while and pretend you're in Australia!

We had no idea what to expect as we walked in and the wonderful aroma was very welcoming. Everything looked delicious in the cabinet. We ordered the steak and cheese pie and the chicken and vegetable pie. Both were delicious but I probably favored the steak and cheese. We stopped by again after shopping and enjoyed the Tuesday afternoon bluegrass jam - how fun. I also purchased some Shepherd's Pie to take home to family. We had them for dinner and they were excellent as well. A gem on the square!

Veggie Pastie
John B.

I'm a bit torn because it's hard to find an Australian place, and this really is one. Flags on the ceiling hang for some Australian states and territories (but weirdly omitting Queensland, SA, NT, and NSW as far as I could tell, which is probably more than half the country). Australiana was strewn about and various hard to find goods were available for purchase. I couldn't resist the Tim Tams, a classic Australian cookie (biscuit, if you prefer) a delicious junk food. They were several times the price they would be in Australia, but to be fair when I looked online the prices were quite similar; apparently niche goods from a faraway island country are expensive. The spread of baked goods looked much like a lot of places you'd find in Australia. To me, this wasn't the sort of place I would go to a ton during the years I lived there. For one thing, the country is quite cosmopolitan and has plenty of diverse options, and for another, the beachy areas often included more avante garde cuisine. This place is more what you'd find on the side of a rural road where there wasn't anything else for a while. The thing is I am not the hugest fan of lamingtons or pavlovas, let alone Anzac biscuits. I'm more of an avo on toast person. Their pies and such also weren't particularly vegetarian-friendly, which again resembles a lot of old-school Aussie pie places rather than the hip one I liked near Bondi. The veggie pastie I ended up with was a reasonable melange of potatoes and other veggies, but I was surprised by how much it was and this one wasn't imported from the other side of the world. I still might come back and peruse the pastries or shelved goods more (and I wish I'd noticed earlier that they had a seasonal Bundaberg ginger beer variant in the fridge, if not in 4-pack form). I do want an Australian shop, but this one only somewhat met my needs.

Food was delightful and open seating during the lunch hour. The service was amazing with excellent recommendations. Cute little shop windows to people watch as well. So yummy!!

Apricot danish
Melissa H.

Excellent pies and pastries. You've got to have the fish and chips. The batter is perfect!! Not much to say about it- great food. They are only open 8a-4p so no "dinner". However, they have frozen that you can heat at home. Love the imported foods and candies for Purchase as well. Great customer service and excellent quality products. The staff are welcoming and always willing to share their recommendations. It is a small restaurant with about 8 4-top tables and booths. However there is outdoor seating when the weather is nice.

Turkey bacon and egg roll
Helen K.

I stopped here before visiting Kennesaw National Park. I ordered a turkey bacon and egg roll that had just been baked. The dough was soft and the egg inside was fluffy and flavorful. I liked the down to earth decor and the array of Australian candy, cookies and pantry staples in the shop. You can buy frozen pies from the freezer case.

Literally ate this plate clean  .
Maya J.

The service here is amazing and very helpful. Makes any customer feel welcomed. If you ever wanna come here Ryan and Becka are the ones to look for. They are so nice I can't even explain it. The ambiance here smells good and lighting is amazing.I ordered rose tea with shepherds pie and chips with a side to add of the tasmanian mint dark chocolate. The food is amazing.

Ask the Community - Australian Bakery Cafe

Do they still have the bluegrass jam in front of the store on Tuesdays?

Yes, the store closes at 4pm but the BG jammers get started outside around that time (weather permitting) and go until everyone has headed home.

Is any of the meat halal?

It's not labeled as such. I'm not quite sure though.

Handmade flour tortilla folded into a large taco with scrambled eggs, avocado, Salvadoran sour cream, and refried beans. Simply delicious.

As you walk in, there's a case of bakery-type items along the wall and butter-creme frosted cakes displayed under the order counter. I asked the man behind the counter if they have cooked food. They don't, but he offered me the alternative to what I had described, a torta. If you're as "American apple pie" as I am, looking around the shop, its easy to confuse a "torta" with a "tarte" or pastry. The "torta" here is a pressed sandwich, filled with meat that he called 'turkey ham' (he assured me that it was not pork), onions, tomato, cheese, avocado and jalapeños if you can handle 'em. While I waited for the young lady to make my torta, the gentleman offered me a choice of complimentary baked treat to try. Who here doesn't love a free sample!? Ok! He rattled off some of the names, but had me at cheesecake! I took them both to-go, mainly because, although there was a cooler full of cold drinks and soda, I couldn't find a hint/whiff of coffee in the place. I would've asked but I'd reach my personal 'question quota' with the sandwich. DELICIOUS, by the way! I like that the press left the bread crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and all the sandwich fixins were still crispy & cool-not soggy or melty. The cheesecake looks kinda like a lemon square, has a cookie-cake texture bottom crust and a 'cheese danish' type filling that's nicely browned on the top. The serving is big enough to split for now & later-which I had every intention of doing. But, I mean, who was I kidding?! It was YUMMY. This place is fairly new, so I hope it'll add hot drinks (if it doesn't already have them...) and a to-go menu with descriptions, so I can decide what I want to try, ahead of my next visit.

But cakes from this shop are crowd-favorites! Everyone at my wedding raved about the cake, even months later people still brought it up. I highly recommend this business.

We had a great time tasting cakes with our wedding planner, Jordan Flowers of Wedding Belles, and…read moreKathryn ("Kat") Steed, sole owner and cake maker at Lush Cakery in Marietta. Jordan recommended Lush Cakery to my fiancee and me (our planner does not accept kickbacks, but instead passes on any discounts she may get on to us) and that is enough praise for me. My fiancee, through her own research, noticed that Lush Cakery has had a hand in a lot of nice weddings in Atlanta. She absolutely loves the look of Lush's cakes (she describes them as beautiful, fun, and creative). I asked Kat how many weddings she did last year and she told me, if I recall correctly, 185 (all by herself!). She doesn't plan on doing that many per year going forward, but she definitely has the experience and is well known in the Atlanta wedding community. Kat moved into a cute space just off Marietta Square a couple years ago. There's a retail space, open four days a week, and a tasting room, available by appointment only. The shop can also be booked for small events like bridal and baby showers. Kat was waiting for us promptly at our appointment time. My fiancee and I were accompanied by our planner for the tasting. The tasting room was quaint and charming. It reminded my fiancee of an attractive sitting room, like something you would see on HGTV. We got to know Kat and she got to know us. She let us swipe through cake designs on her iPad while talking to us about our wedding, our tastes/visions for our cake, and how our cake would align with our wedding overall. For example, we talked about the season of our wedding, whether it's going to be indoor or outdoor, etc. These kinds of things can affect the ingredients and flavors of our wedding cake. There was a menu at the table with Lush's most popular wedding cake flavors. We tasted the following six flavors: * Salted caramel * Amaretto white chocolate red raspberry * Triple chocolate hazelnut * Grand Marnier strawberries and cream * Cinnamon * Cream cheese pound with lemon curd Kat had the first five flavors in the list above ready to go on a plate for each of us. The last one was requested by my fiancee who was interested in trying the lemon curd after seeing it on the menu. My eyes lit up as I bit into these cakes. What impressed me most about them was actually not their flavor, but their consistency. Every single slice was perfectly fluffy and moist. They were tender and delicate with good crumb. Flavor-wise, they were sweet, but not too sweet. My favorite flavors were the salted caramel and the strawberries and cream. My fiancee's favorite flavors were the amaretto white chocolate red raspberry and the triple chocolate hazelnut. My fiancee thought both the strawberry and cinnamon tasted delicious, but were a little too simple for her tastes. The cream cheese pound cake with lemon curd was outstanding, but we agreed that we liked the lighter, less dense textures of the other cakes for our wedding cake. Everything we tried tasted great, so what it really came down to here was personal preference. We want a classic, elegant looking cake so Kat suggested a traditional three-tier round cake. We'll have it decorated with flowers from our florist, Julie Coffin of Unique Floral Expressions, who is one of the rock stars of the Atlanta wedding industry and whom Kat has worked many weddings with. We chose our cake and icing flavors, along with a fun design extra, and were quoted under $700 for our cake (tax and delivery included). The cake will serve 100. We'll have more than 100 guests, but there will be other dessert options too. Kat's quote is about $200 higher than another quote we recently received, so Lush is on the higher side. However, the other quote did not include an extra design element and the Lush quote also includes a "complimentary" anniversary tier a year after our wedding. A $150 non-refundable deposit is required to secure a date. We received Kat's proposal via email quickly after our meeting. My fiancee had a question and it didn't take long for Kat to respond. All in all, this was a wonderful experience. Now we just have to make a decision! Throughout our wedding planning process so far, this has turned out to be the most difficult decision yet.

I walked here from Church St. and it was a beautiful walk past some gorgeous old well-maintained homes. Very charming neighborhood area. This location is prime. It backs up to some trees and vines in the back, has a large park on the side for children, the patio overlooks the part and green space, and it has a large, old building with exposed wood beams, loads of charm, and lots of open space to hang out! If I lived here, I'm sure I'd be here all the time. The food menu was light, but the vibes were strong. Staff were exceptionally friendly and answered my questions and I found the QR table ordering fast and efficient. You can always walk up to the window if you prefer. I had already had lunch so I went light and had a lemon bundt and the French B**** coffee. Both were out quickly and were delicious! The decor inside is gorgeous. Even the bathrooms are fancy and on theme. I stopped next door at the adorable shop and found the entire area to be a joy. 100000% recommend you stop in here, often, and have some goodies for me!
