My Apple turn over was nicely glazed, sweet and slightly tanginess from the apple, which I assumed Granny Smith apple, cooked to perfections, still have a bite to it and ration between pastry and feeling, just right. 2. They served a good coffee, everything is just perfect, form the caffeine dosage through the perfect milk temperature. 3. Quick service, friendly and come with smile. Efficient service even though cafe was busy at 11.30pm, well done! Keep up good work guys!

I request to change another but all the staff (4 staff include the chef) insisted that it is the one and refused to do anything. Even the chef said it's normal to look like that!! Also the staff just took it in n out to show to their colleagues, finally they damaged all the edge of my cake and just repack it and pass to me. Also they just deleted my comment form Facebook. What a service ! They "USED TO BE" nice patisserie that I purchased for almost every celebration in the past. Don't buy Unless you expect the cake won't look the same as you order. Otherwise, never in the future.

It all appears to be made on site as you can see them working away. Basically it is open until sold out. Seems very popular. I was surprised to see menu options to order as well, which is good. They have eggs, bacon and egg rolls, mushy peas, shakshuka and granola. I just got a coffee, quite strong coffee (can't remember the brand), with beautiful latte art. I also got the cheesecake. It is basically a small dome shaped pillow of goodness on top of a biscuit. It is delicious and beautifully presented with white chocolate and a purple swirl. Check it out

(Similar to my Surry Hills shop review)…read more Good old Bourke Street Cafe. If you live in Sydney east and you have never heard of this place; please start going out more! Located on 'Bourke Street'.... duh.... (actually there's also one on Gardeners Road as well, hence this review but they are basically the same! I go to both and I love'em both!!); it's an awesome Sat day brunch place with a few mates or actually nice enough to bring your better half for nice cup of coffee. Personally on a good Sunny Day, I wouldn't mind being there with a book while munching on a sausage roll. Yes Sausage rolls... You have to try them... they are not your Coles $5 for 30 rolls but gourmet lamb/beef/pork rolls which are superb. Their pies... oh mh.. their pies are sooo good! Always great variety, that you just gotta try them. Their dessert pastries are just divine as well! Ginger Brulee cannot be resisted! A must try - Carrot Cake! Believe me; you will love it! Great pastries; awesome coffee; love their smoothies/ice drinks; and excellent atmosphere. Imagine this. If can give a 5 star review to this place; purely based on Sausage rolls, carrot cakes; you know, simple stuff... how good it must have been! drools¬! Only down side - You really smell like pastry afterwards if you eat in.

It was a short drive away for such great service, food, and coffee. It's in a very industrial part of town so the views aren't great and the parking is a nightmare, but the place itself is fantastic. It's situated on a street corner with giant windows on either side and plenty of room inside. I had the Beef, Beer, Bacon, Potato pie, and a latte. The coffee was good, the pie was incredible, and the staff were all very friendly, helpful, and cheerful. Almost couldn't have asked for a better airport waiting experience :)

Don't get me wrong-this is good, standard cafe food, but a little pricey. This French/Lebanese…read morebakery and cafe is famous among locals for its breads, cakes, Aussie pies, quiches, sausage rolls and other pastries. I tried their famous Bakerman Bacon and Egg Roll and sure enough, it lived up to the hype-a gorgeous dollop of mayo and crunchy bacon snuggled in a crusty bun. But. What's up with the $8.50 price tag? At the end of the day it's just bread, bacon and eggs. I washed this down with a coffee (the Molinari brand) and it was ok if a little bland. One time I stopped for lunch and chose the spinach and ricotta quiche with a side salad ($9.50). It was exactly what I was after (I love cheese!) but it was on the small side-the salad almost took over the plate but it certainly wasn't the star. There was not enough dressing; the leaves were a little dry. There IS something about this place that keeps me coming back though. It has a really tranquil atmosphere and is a great alternative for breakfast or lunch if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of nearby King St in Newtown. There are also gluten-free menu options and free Wi-Fi. The cosy village square is great for kids to run around after school while you sip your latte and people watch. Just don't let the kids see the $6.50 fruit smoothies. Great ambience and service but costly food you could get pretty much anywhere.

I walk past Bowan Island Bakery almost daily when I visit East Village to do my food shopping. It's always full of people eating, drinking, reading the paper, laughing together or simply having a good time. Many come for take away coffees, bread or pastries. There is a simple menu for those who wish to dine-in. My egg roll was put in the sandwich press and squashed to a pancake (photo provided for your amusement). It still tasted good but I've never had an egg roll served like that before! The coffee was nice and I would happily buy a coffee from there again. Next time I visit I'll be getting a take away coffee and freshly baked loaf of bread. Perhaps one of the sour dough loaves that look so good. I don't think I'll go back for a squashed egg roll ;)

After I made payment, I was standing and waiting for more than 5 min when they kept serving people. Finally I asked how about my pastries. The cashier was utterly rude and asked me what did I order and told me she was serving so many people, and I was not the only one. It turned out my order receipt was still stuck on the counter by its own and nobody (4-5 servers) wanted to bother. They finally handed me the cold pastries to go without any apologies! The food was expensive. I paid 14$ for a custard flan and a tiny piece flower cake (8$) . They were not good at all. Won't come back !

Upon my friend's insistence that I will not find better pastries in the area, my curiosity (and a…read moresweet tooth) brought me here. This cafe/bistro is named after a French baker from the town of Saint-Germain, who helped train the bakery's staff. A short stroll from Redfern station and you find a slice of Paris. Think indulgent treats such as chocolate éclairs, strawberry tarts, croissants, and to my delighted surprise; macarons! They may not be good for your waistline but at $1.50 each, they are just too damn hard to resist. My favourite, the strawberry and cream, rivalled Adriano Zumbo's .Try this cookie and you will wonder what took you so long. The cherry on top is the friendly and efficient staff who love what they do. The coffee is good but it's all about the cakes. Note to self: start diet next week.
