Catering Report

All pastry products are baked fresh and can be frozen for up to 2 months or kept in the fridge for 2-3 days after purchase. It is always best to heat from frozen to prevent condensation from developing moisture and ruining the pastries consistency. Depending on product size, fresh/frozen or quality of oven/preheat times can range from 15-45 minutes.

Cannot support a business that believes in Mandating staff to have a medical procedure that’s experimental and still in the trial period and then brags about it with a sign on the door. Disgraceful and distasteful.

Thank you for illegally advertising the medical status that you have forced on your staff to keep their jobs. You have lost yet another customer. Hope those dollar signs in your eyes were worth it -anything for a buck right?

Was really looking forward to going based on the reviews however, while the staff were friendly and the prices were reasonable the food was average. Not sure what all the fuss is about. Did not try the savoury stuff, perhaps that is better than the sweet stuff.

Mandating staff to get the vaccine is disgusting and blatant discrimination. It doesn't matter how nice your food is, you will be on the wrong side of history. Shame on you

Absolutely satisfied after that visit! The satay pie was amazing, the Vienna Hot Chocolate was like velvet and the Van Gogh cupcake tasted as good as it looks. No wonder why they won best bakery in SA!

Can't fault this place honestly. Been here many times and every time it's been a great experience. Reasonable prices, delicious food, generous serving sizes and friendly service. Everything from the pies to the doughnuts and wraps are amazing and the best part is it's open 24 hours!

I can't believe that I've never been to this food paradise on O'Connell street until last week. I missed out on so much:(
Just looking at the pastries and buns displayed made me so satisfied and was drooling the entire time.
The bakery is open 24X7 (unsure of public holidays), so ideal place for midnight cravings!

Coffee : Amazing
Hot chocolate : Average (Cold) - very milky
Price : Wise
Service : Passable
Variety : Amazing, lot of choice and options savoury, pastry, cakes and sweet
Love the Orange Almond cake
A bit disappointed with the muffin.. ordered double chocolate muffin, the staff gave us wrong muffin, asked the staff is this double choc muffin or other flavour? She said "yes it is.. just have different colour from different batch.."
We bought 2 double choc muffin, 1 muffin so dark colour with lots of choc chips, another one really light colour with few choc chips. Clearly can see this is 2
