This place cops a bad rap for the appallingly rude staff - and this true. The little old lady is the nicest, but the two younger ladies often have a bit of attitude. But you can be like that when your cakes are this great! And in saying that as much as I dislike rude staff, I will continue going here because they're good.

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.

This place has been here for AT LEAST 20 years - that's how long I've been coming here for…read more Let's get this out of the way: it's not a fancy bakery. No one's throwing around the word 'pâtisserie' here. It's what you see on the sign - HOT BREAD. This place is busy on the weekend, but the service is quick. The best thing you can do on the weekend is come in early on Saturday or Sunday and buy a big bunch of their sandwich rolls - they'll still be hot. Of course you can get all your other bread-related products (loafs, etc), but I go for the rolls every time. My favourites are the hot chicken rolls (made on the spot, Vietnamese style) and the vanilla slice (with passion-fruit icing). The lamingtons are quite respectable too.

I find it hard to walk past and not stop in to grab one of Sydney's best pies and sausage rolls. It's always hard to go past a freshly made pork roll too. My 4yo daughter just loves the pink doughnuts and it's always great to pick up a loaf of fresh bread as it's always soft in the middle with a fantastic crunchy crust, just how I like it. Plus it's always good to see Sunny and his staff, As he's always there give your friendly service and to have a chat. My doctor might disagree with me but I wish that they had delivery available as I could really go a pie (or two) and a cold drink now! Thank you Sunny, keep up the good work as I know you always do!

They clearly switched my cake with someone else's. When I went to the shop today to let them know, i did not even hear a word of apology or any inclination to compensate/refund for this - they said that no one brought the other cake back, which truly has nothing to do with our immense disappointment and the carelessness of the staff serving us on the day. We have been shopping there for many years, even before the new management took the shop over. As a result of unacceptable handling of this issue by the shop management, I will never make another purchase there and advise all customers to check what they get from the shop as service quality is clearly in need of improvement.

Osteria On Darling

A nifty, busy little café on Darling Street, it's a pretty cool place to meet up with a friend for…read morea coffee. I liked the menu; basic I suppose, nothing too different, but it covers the bases and gives you the foods you want in a café for a fairly reasonable price. I only ordered a panani but I enjoyed choosing from the various combinations that are available. A pretty comfortable place too, couches or chairs, inside or outside, its up to you. Next on Darling takes it a step further with a licence to serve alcohol, so you can enjoy a drink over your lunch. Being a little busy with maybe an older demographic, the place might be a little bit slower than some of the other places around, but you don't want a "get you in, get you out" policy anyway. Good food, good people, reasonable prices; I'm happy. I think you will be too. Personally, I liked the homely touch of having a container of water outside the front door for passing dogs to refresh themselves. It's the little touches that make the difference.

Just an establishment where I want to stop by and have a quick cup of a quality cafe latte and flick through my diary and see what I have planned for the day ahead; and then Sunday and then the week ahead. This establishment just has that kind of vibe for me. A momentary pit stop to cheer me up and make me a happy go lucky person pumped with caffeine in a contemporary and trendy locale. Many individuals love to chat and stay here over coffee and/or breakfast with water. Not me too much, unless if I happen to come to this establishment with someone; then the vibe might change for me somewhat. It is a vibe for now and a good one that seems to be working. Not an establishment I would frequent all the time; probably because Rozelle is filled with so much choice and abundance to sit down and enjoy coffee. Still a great business that deserves it's spot along the Rozelle and Balmain peninsula. Worth a try to really appreciate and discover more of what this great inner city suburb of Sydney has to offer.

I hover in the middle. Sometimes I need that hot, warm, yeasty, gooey, cinnamon-ey sugar-ey hit of calorific overdrive. And the coffee is one of the better coffees in the centre. But not the best. Run for a long time by a well attentive family, and obviously a money roller due to the longevity of the business (We are talking at least 20 years people) Decent selection of pastries that are neither hand made, or particularly artisan. (you know!) but still. Sometimes that sugar has gotta climb up the sides of the back of your neck. Sometimes.

The croissant was really fresh but the filling was a bit skimpy. There was a drizzle of chocolate on the corner of the plate. My drink was a LEMON, LIME & MINT CRUSH-- a refreshing combo of lemon, lime and mint leaves blended with ice. It was perfect and just what I needed. As for chocolate-- I didn't have any...this time! It seemed just too hot. So Oliver Brown's will be waiting for me to have some chocolate. BTW, Oliver Brown is not to be confused with the Oliver's that had vegan burgers which I previously wrote about.

Within this shopping complex you have the choice of Gloria Jeans (EW!) or a cafe so over run with mums and bubs on any day of the week, it becomes an obstacle course to get to the counter to order a coffee. So Michel's sits right in front of Woolies, which they so commonly do, and have all the usually cakes pies and sugary tasty things that I try to avoid. There coffee is decent, they never charge me for an extra shot and the service is just excellent. I would describe Michel's as a staple within Menai Marketplace- particularly with the beautiful oldies catching up over a fruit tart and a coffee before they do their shopping.
