This place has really delicious, uniquely flavoured French macarons and pastries. Some of the flavours today included salted peanut butter, earl grey and milk chocolate, banana crunch and cookies and cream. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

I can't visit Sydney without coming here. I've been to different Laduree locations around the…read moreworld. This one is located on the third floor of Westfield right by the escalators in the high-end shops wing. They have a small cafe area. They have have candles, perfumes, books, bags and of course, the perfect macarons. I picked up a box of macarons in my favorite flavors + the new flavors: lime basil, chocolate coconut marshmallow and chocolate Peru (which replaced chocolate Madagascar). They're about 4AUD a piece. For Laduree macarons, it doesn't even matter. Perfect shell, great fillings and flavors.

I decided to go in and check it out and saw they had unique flavours, so I decided to get three flavours to try. Got the unicorn, which is just vanilla, only because I got this for someone, so of course I didn't get to taste this one. Mango, Passionfruit & Macadamia - good, but I tasted more macadamia than mango and passionfruit. Pandan & Coconut Custard - thought it was great they offered this Vietnamese flavour and thought this was good as well. I wish they offered more flavours, but I would say I still prefer Laduree passionfruit more because I actually could taste it.

You can pick up a box of 10 at about 1/3 of the price of Laduree, which are actually baked in Switzerland, frozen, and then flown all over the world (I didn't know this until today). Highly recommended!

The cake was delivered on time and looked as good in person as it did in the photos. I was told the Ferrero Roche cake was the best they've ever tasted.

They were really accomodating, I contacted them because I decided (after the fact) I wanted to add a note to the delivery. I was contacted immediatelly (even with the time zone difference!). Excellent customer service, and I was told the tarts were TO DIE FOR!! I look forward to order more items from the menu in the near future.... Love, love, love this place!!!

Offering the usual selections of bread, Zumbarons, Zonuts, and cakes as the rest of the chain. A selection of Zumbarons were chosen as it was bought as a gift for friends and easy to transport in their handy boxes. Service was a bit so so. As it was a slow time and not much passing trade and since we were taking a bit of time deciding on what flavours to get, the original server didn't end up serving us and went somewhere else to start sweeping. The other server eventually came over after we waved her down.

The passion fruit seeds (at least that's what I hope it was) cut his soft palate, and he was suddenly in so much pain. I checked his mouth and there was a huge 'blood bag'. We rushed to the Macquarie Uni GP and was told that he had developed oral hematoma from the food that he just ate. He had to be on liquid diet for 48 hours, and though the condition is not life threatening, hewas in constant pain for a week. I would give them a zero star if I could. And their PR response to the whole issue was just appalling.
I've seen Andrew (owner) about Newcastle markets for the past 5 years…read more He opened this shop about a year ago and the upstairs cafe about 2 years ago. Great custom made cakes, cupcakes and bites. A nice location to take the time to sit for a bite and a coffee. Menu also extends to Toasties, bagels & croissants. Friendly staff & service. But best yet, a great local business. Let's all support it.
What a wonderful service and friendly staff will be back for sure Thank you Kye for the great service
I've had this place bookmarked for years. Maybe I'll try their dessert tasting menu someday, but…read morejust the regular desserts I tried were nothing spectacular. And on a late weekday afternoon, they were sold out of the drinks that caught my eye. The desserts are fine, but some of the prices are so expensive that I don't feel like I'd miss out on much if I didn't get them. The average price seemed to be $28 for a dessert smaller than the size of my palm. While some of the flavors were more unique, based on the ones I tried, they weren't actually good combinations or just blended together so that you might as well be eating one flavor.
I had hope to visit Koi during my last visit to Sydney, but I ran out of time. But for my most…read morerecent visit, it happened to be beside my hotel. After eating dinner somewhere else, my friend and I stopped at Koi for dessert. We go there only 30 min before close, so there weren't a lot of desserts left. We tried two of them - a pandan cake and a mango dessert. They were both beautiful looking, but don't recall being blown away by the taste. And it was very expensive. I thought to myself that it was not what I hoped. But I'll give the benefit of the doubt that maybe at the end of the night all they have the less popular desserts left. Next time I'm there, I'll give it another shot.

Overall it's a tiny place but there are plenty of spots outside to sit and enjoy your food and coffee. I ordered the ham and cheese croissant and a latte. The croissant was delicious, a perfect breakfast. The coffee was hot and perfect on a chilly morning and had just the right amount of milk. It was so good I ordered one to go, with an almond croissant. It was the best decision made on this trip. The almond croissant was out of this world, maybe it was the powdered sugar, or maybe it was the fact it's rum dipped. Either way it was amazing and will be my new breakfast go-to. Don't miss out!

The Coffee Mocha was delicious though adding an extra shot of espresso to it made it much better than original mocha. The chocolate was overpowering the coffee without that extra shot. No complaints there because I like hot chocolate too, just wanted more on the coffee side. Place was nice and clean and the service was good. Definitely recommend it.

The Girls behind the counter are auper helpful and definitely make you feel welcome :)!! My friend recommended for me to come here for the Bougatsa, best in Sydney. It's a Custard Pie with Phyllo and ground cinnamon :D. She warmed it up for me and no joke it was like time froze when i was eating it haha.. im a custard connoisseur and it tasted Amazing :)!! Another thing that struck my fancy was a custard croissant they had surprisingly with no almonds sprinkled on top of it haha.. that's the standard these days for some reason. Almonds aren't kind to me so that was obe pastry i haven't had in ages so i scoffed that down to .. so good aswell :D!! They got heaps more of greek pastrys and cookies :), I asked if they do coffee which they inclined but they said only strong Greek coffee in those "Copper Coffee Pot" :). So if you can't handle strong coffee you can always get your flat white, Soy latte etc across or down the road :) Its open till late daily and is a local favourite since the old days :)! Its places like this that need to be open for a further 40 years :D!!
"Ooo Hellenic Bakery!" "I dunno, those blinds make it look…read morekinda dodgy..." Two minutes later we were lured in by the incredible smell of baking bread. We proceeded to spend about 20 minutes ooh-ing and ahh-ing over the enormous selection of delectable-looking cakes, breads, Greek pastries and biscuits, trying to not buy one of everything. The ladies behind the counter were patient with our indecision and unfamiliarity with Greek sweets, but efficient when we finally made our decisions. As tempting as the Mars bar mousse cake and caramel ricotta cake looked, I had to go for the traditional Greek sweets - it is the Hellenic Bakery after all! The galaktoboureko was oh-so-smooth and their lady fingers had the right balance of bitter nuts to syrup. I'll have to return to try the rest.

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.
