Crepes are a popular item on menus around the world and many places do their own version of this…read moredish. Where can you get some quality Crepes in Sydney, you may ask? Crepe House Earlwood is the place! It is easily accessible, being only a few minutes drive from the King Georges Rd exit from the M5. The Crepe House is doing their version of Crepes, both sweet and savoury. Their Greek style crepes are a good light meal option. This place has a great atmosphere with bright and bubbly staff, a good social space, with many groups catching over a coffee and a bite to eat. The setting is relaxed with a good mix of background music. The decor has a slight industrial feel, with tap fittings converted into lights, cement beams and exposed brick. Not only do they make great crepes, the crepe house also accomodates coffee lovers, no matter what the weather with traditional Greek Iced Coffee called Freddo's, a really good iced coffee, just add sugar to taste. There were also plenty of other drinks to keep you content; milkshakes, iced chocolates, thick shakes and even imported Greek iced tea Tuvunu, which was very refreshing on a hot day. The menu showcases a vast array of crepes and waffles, both sweet and savoury. The savoury crepes were all very tasty and named after Greek gods, our favourite was the Atlas, a thin crepe filled with a generous amount of chicken, feta, mushrooms, baby spinach, shallots and laced with their delicious special sauce. For pescaterians, there is the Poseidon of course. A good flavour combination of salmon, avocado, baby spinach shallots and tomato. For something meaty, the king of the gods Zeus is your pick. A meatlovers crepe stuffed with mozzarella, double smoked ham, bacon, pepperoni, cabanoss, tomato, feta and BBQ sauce. Their specials menu featured a few great omelettes, including the one we tried with ham, cheese, spinach and mushrooms if you weren't keen on a crepe. They can also adapt any of their crepes to suit gluten free diners. The desserts were superb, from the start we had our eye on the waffles, topped with banana cinnamon, madagascan vanilla bean gelato, walnuts and their maple syrup and this certainly did not disappoint. Their adaption of Greek dessert Bougasta was also a unanimous favourite. An amazing Greek custard, icing sugar and slithers of roasted almonds. The light fluffy panckes with ricotta, fresh berries and real maple syrup was another great option as was the white chocolate, nutella caprice biscuit crepe, named after the owner Christina's daughter Antigone. This is top spot to visit for socialising and for a bite to eat at any time of the day. All of the menu items were delicious, the staff were also great and made for a very welcoming atmosphere. It would be impossible to leave this place not being happy and content.

The milkshake was chocolatey and not too thick which was nice as it was pretty big. The doughnut is not too huge, so much more manageable than doughnut time. Also, you can ask for a to go cup or box if you can't finish it! The soft serve was a bit messier but so worth it. The doughnut cone was deep fried and covered in sugar and then stuffed with nutella and then had nutella soft serve in it. The combination of nutella and soft serve was delicious.

Sweetness INSANITY…read more Haberfield has taken over from Leichhardt as the Italian centre of Sydney. The restaurants here clearly tell that story. But this bakery tells it as well. If you arrive and don't find a queue out the door and down the sidewalk, you've done well. Those people aren't waiting for a table inside for a coffee and cake; they're waiting to get takeaway sweets. When the line moves and you finally make it in the door you'll see it: the glass display cases, 6 or 7 metres long I'm sure, filled with such beautiful and sweet-looking baked confections that you'll find it impossible to make up your mind. So let me make you mind up for you: get the cannoli. Any of them are good, but the ricotta cannoli are so good you would climb over the bodies of the innocent for them. You would sell your child's kidney. You would attend Latin mass for the rest of your life if that was the only way to get them. Dear sweet mother of all that's holy, they're good.

In the heart of Little Italy that is Haberfield sits the renowned Papa Pasticceria. Walking through…read moreits doors, we are greeted by a bustling café operating non-stop with a queue that sprawled its way towards me. The customers are relentless in their pursuit of their baked delicacies as the staff is frantically trying to meet the orders. It's busy here and one look at the many counters of biscuits, shortbreads, pastries, cakes, tarts, cannoli, pizzas and gelato, it's not hard to figure out why. With such a bewildering selection like the cockpit of the DeLorean in Back to the Future, it's hard to pick out what's worth stuffing into my pork belly so I've enlisted one of the waitresses to help me sample their offering. My waitress recommended the Torta Di Ricotta, Cannoli Alla Ricotta, Bigne Al Cioccolato, Mandorla Al Cioccolato, the Pistachio flower, and a pizza slice. Though I was treated like anything but a number, I was given one and told to get a table and wait for my order. As busy as it seems, there's always a table available and shortly enough my baked goodies arrive plated together ready for some serious munching. Wasting no time, I start with the familiar bite-sized Cannoli Alla Ricotta sitting there almost oozing out its ricotta filling. Crunchy like a good biscuit and lusciously creamy on the inside, the ricotta was subtle and seductive, enchanting me with every bite. Next up, I tried the Mandorla Al Cioccolato, a chocolate and almond biscuit covered in powdered sugar like snow. It was delicate and crumbling in my mouth enthusing its Herculean almond flavour on my tongue. As the marzipan-like flavour lingers, the chocolate decided to play hide and seek with me like kids did back in the day, which makes for a very nostalgic tasting. Giving up on trying to find my chocolate chip friend, I give the Bigne Al Cioccolato a try. This is Italian for chocolate profiterole and tastes every bit so. Inside the glistening dumpling is the continental chocolate custard greeting me with a familiar yet foreign subtle sweetness like a first-time family relative. I love a profiterole that can charm the pants off me, and this isn't one of them. The dark chocolate glaze never really melts in my mouth. Papa should have known better. Awaiting for its time to shine is the Pistachio flower. Frosted sugar covers its surface for buds with crushed pistachio as its nectar. Unlike the mandorla, the flower has bite in its biscuit, spreading flourishes of salt and rosé aroma with soft sweet undertones. At times, this felt like being at a family gathering and being offered a cherished delicacy as a child only to squirm out of politeness. An acquired taste for sure, one that maybe in my later years (if ever) I'll appreciate. Occupying a plate of its own like a queen on her throne is the Torta Di Ricotta, a cake so infamous that foodies from all over Sydney flock like seagulls to chips. My first bite of this cheesecake delicacy felt like I was curling up in bed in a thick blanket of velour as it was milky, rich, and delicate in its sweetness and texture. The delicious pastry is partly tender and crumbly, melding so well with the creamy filling and sprinkles of cinnamon. The whipped cream on the side moistens the cake further - adding an extra level of bliss. To be lactose-intolerant is to be forever deprived of this culinary wonder Sydney has to offer. Finally, there's the pizza slice. Now, don't be deceived by the familiar sight of this rectangular slice as it's unlike any other pizza I've eaten in Sydney unless perhaps if you hail from Rome. The very bottom of the base is crisp while the rest is a little doughy just barely clinging onto the topping. I adore the sweetness given off by the peas, the salty tomato chunks, the peppery punch from the minced pork and veal dotting the surface, and the rustic taste that only a boiled egg can add to a slice of pizza Nona would make for her grandkids. I'm humbled to trot down memory lane. By the time I've finished lunch, the queue has snaked beyond to the exteriors and the pace of the waitresses show no signs of slowing down. Like a forgotten art, everyone awaits for their turn to taste the treat that transports them back in time. To enjoy Papa is to embrace the past, surrendering your tastebuds to the old world like the one Nona lived in. ~ Jambon Cochon
