I could never say no and…read moreoften, whole cheesecakes would get devoured by my housemates and myself in very short time frames. So naturally I have fond memories of The Cheesecake shop and even though I've actually gone off cheesecake for the moment, the familiar smell and flavours that come from this store somehow always manage to get me. Must tries include strawberry glaze bakes cheesecake, Jamaican chocolate, blackforest cake, strawberry and blueberry continental cheesecake. But if you're up for something more savoury, try the tasty quiches and pies.

Last time we ordered from these guys through foodora, foodora completely stuffed up and didn't bother to send anyone to collect our order. We tried contacting foodora and couldn't get hold of anyway so we rang Figo who explained the food was ready but foodora hadn't arrived to pick it up. 10 mins later the food is at our door! Figo had only gone and delivered it themselves (but didn't tell us it was them). Really impressed by the great service and food from Figo, as it's not their responsibility to sort out foodora stuff ups! We will definitely be ordering again soon (direct from Figo obviously!)

I ordered the flamenco baked eggs on their specials menu which was served in a bowl instead of a baking dish. Slightly unusual as I couldn't see how the eggs were baked but it was packed full of flavour and spice! Serving was generous with lotsa mushroom, chorizo and eggs. Decoration was in line with its name too with tea towels hanging off the ceiling and little cut out fabrics hanging on the wall. I've read some pretty good reviews about this place and I'm glad to say it did live up to expectations! Not mind blowing great, but definitely on my list for future visits.

I ordered cupcakes online from Little Cupcakes in Melbourne (05/10/2020) to be delivered to my friend as a surprise on her birthday (10/10/2022) at 11.30am. I paid a $25 priority delivery fee in addition to the cost of the cupcakes to ensure it reached her. I originally supplied her work address for delivery but then emailed them (07/10/2022) to change it to her home address. The company's T&Cs state any changes to delivery need 7 days' notice, so I asked if this change was ok. They sent me an email that same day confirming the new delivery address. Day of the delivery (10/10/2022) and I didn't hear anything. I email them at 1.26pm asking if they had been delivered. I was told that the logistics manager didn't have the order and was asked if I wanted it delivered on (12/10/2022) instead, or if I wanted a refund. I opted for the refund as it would not be there on my friend's birthday, so defeated the purpose. They then emailed me at 4.18pm saying that whoops, it was actually delivered, but to the work address. I confirmed that I still wanted a refund as my friend wouldn't be in the office until the end of the week so the cupcakes wouldn't be any good. After ringing someone at that office, not me, they said that they would offer a $10 credit for my next order rather than a refund, to which I said no. They then said (12/10/2022) they would just refund the $25 priority fee. Still not good enough. They then said that they would only give me a full refund if the cupcakes could be picked up fully intact two days after being delivered to an office work fridge - absolutely ridiculous! This is probably the first review I have written in over 10 years. It's not something I do. But I thought it was worth letting people know how bad their service is. Do yourself a favour, order cupcakes elsewhere.

Service: Terrific! Like I said, the girl working there was kind enough to give me a second cupcake for the same price since they were closing and needed to get rid of all the cupcakes for the day. Cupcakes: I got a small red velvet cupcake and it honestly wasn't too amazing - I've had much better and there wasn't enough of the cocoa-buttery taste to it. But then again, red velvet isn't really native to Australia so I hope when it takes over more people start to make it better. --- Overall, the cupcakes were alright - much better than The Cupcake Bakery over at Melbourne Central. However, it is VERY overpriced. You could fit 1 of the cupcakes easily in your mouth - they're bite-sized... for 2.20. That doesn't seem like a deal to me. Thankfully I got that extra cupcake otherwise I would've been really upset about getting ripped off.

This is probably my favourite place to get consistently great pies, pasties and cakes. Oh the…read morecakes! Most recently I tried a small red velvet, a flourless orange and a vanilla slice. I can attest to the deliciousness of the red velvet and flourless orange. I'm not really a cake girl but I'd make an except for these two anytime. My Mum had the vanilla slice and told me it was delicious and she'd love another, soon. She can be a little hard to please so that means a lot. Most cakes come in two sizes - small, meaning cupcake size and large (but really this is only by comparison to the small). All the cakes and baked goods look good and you will pay for this quality, but I think it's worth it. It can get busy so if you want something specific it's best to order ahead. I'm also a fan of the pies and pasties. I buy a few cold every now and then for the freezer. The chadstone franchise serves coffee too and provides some tables and chairs at which to relax. The service is efficient but can be a bit brisk as they do get busy. If you like quality cakes or are looking for a great meat pie (or vego pasty) then give them a go.

I ended up getting a large lemon tart $28 and a small orange cheesecake $18. The lemon tart was a bit on the sweet side for me, I would pair it with some fresh cream and would have enjoyed it more with a few more strawberries on top as there was only one in the middle. On the plus side, the lemon tart was already enough for 8 people so we didn't even make it to the cheescake. Will update my review after I dig into it. Handy location and the price seems reasonable. I would go back to get their cakes and hope to try some pies next time.

Just in case you're too lazy to read my entire review, let me put this simply:…read more Don't do it. --- Okay, I admit, my distaste for The Cupcake Bakery comes from a whole lot of disappointment, but let me explain myself: I'm from San Francisco and back home, we have a specific flavour called "Red Velvet" that is EXTREMELY popular in North America. It is quite possibly one of the most favourite things in the whole wide world and when I saw it sitting in the display of this little cupcake shop, I literally squealed, ran in, put my money on the table, and ordered my beautiful red velvet lover. The cupcake was stale and condensed rather than fluffy and delicious. The red velvet tasted like chocolate rather than the light-chocolate cocoa-buttery taste of red velvet. Clearly, this shop had no idea what red velvet was. I looked up their website and they just described red velvet as red-coloured chocolate. So I guess they just used food colouring rather than the actual flavouring? Okay. I guess my hunt for my beloved red velvet is still on. Meawhile, avoid this place.

Small, delectable and a great gift idea (I mean, who would open a present and be unsatisfied with high-end cupcakes!), cupcakes are becoming more than your 'home-cooking' dessert. Cupcake Factory produces glorious cupcakes for a 'somewhat pricey' but well worth cost. You can find all sorts of flavours and varieties here, my favourite being 'the giant cupcake'... I'm sure you get the gist of it, a giant cupcake that is used as a cake! Super cute and an idea not met by any other standard in dessert making.
