Guys, come onโฆ $11 for a half loaf of spelt sourdough? 8 pieces of bread (including ends), thatโs not okay.
$9.90 for a sourdough ciabatta is to be expected from an artisan bakery but it has to be great and unfortunately it just didnโt hit the spot. The crust was light and crispy the middle was a little spongy and dense and just didnโt have that fermented Tang that a good sourdough has.
The sausage roll and sour cherry Danish I tried WERE SO AMAZING!!! I work at a bakery South of Brisbane (here on holiday) and the sausage roll here was actually better than the ones I sell, it was very very good, flavourful and soft and juicy! The Danish was very good as well, delicious and enjoyable treat, I think perfect. However I tried also the steak and pepper pie and the custard tart, the pie definately was good but not the best I've had- still good though. BUT the custard tart was awful, tasted like sugar and eggs in a soggy white tart, not custard in the slightest. Overall I do want to go back to try more! It seems very promising, and I was really happy with the sausage roll and cherry Danish โบ๏ธ
๐ญ๐ญ. ๐คฌ๐โค๏ธโ๐ฉน While their quiches have a nice flavor, I was disappointed by the lack of bacon or ham inside, which affected the overall taste. However, my biggest concern was the absence of visible pricing. ๐ฆ๐บ๐ฆ๐บ๐ฆ๐บ In Australia, itโs required to display prices, and not doing so feels unprofessional and inconvenient. I ended up having to ask about the price for each item, which took up my limited lunch break. For a small oversight like this, the experience felt frustrating and made me decide not to return. There are plenty of other establishments that follow the law and respect consumer rights, making shopping easier and more enjoyable.
I thought I would give this place one last try but it was exactly the same as my last visit. Hardly any pies at 8.26am and the one I did get was the steak, bacon and cheese as they had nothing else. It was bang average at best and Luke warm. This was the exact same problem as last time. I had 2 bites then through the rest in the bin! I'm not sure what's happend to this place as it used to be good ๐ค I will be spending my money elsewhere.. ๐ Edit. Thanks for responding but unfortunately this was not the first time this has happened.
