This Morning Sunday 3rd October, it was not her morning for the tall Blonde at the counter, I ordered a coffee and I said that I wanted to order something else, as soon as she want pay for the coffee, so every time I order a pastry she quickly to turn away and before I could finish my sentence, anyway in the end I walked away with four separate items, in the past the other staff offered to place the pastries in a small cartoon box, but not today, she was in no mood for it and the pastries were all smeared inside the paper bags.

Coffee is sub par, messed up the order. They would not sell me a bag of ground coffee either even though they have a grinder. Not the best service.

The benchmark for sausage rolls in Canberra - little on the greasy side - by far the tastest sausage rolls with the best pastry in Canberra.

I've been there a few times on the odd occasion, always hoping that my bad experience was a one-off. The pies are hit and miss but still expensive every time. Dont bother with the sweet things. They may looks good but it stops there. They are flavourless and fake. Even chocolatly things use fake chocolate. Don't bother with the cinnamon scrolls either, they are a waste of ingredients. They have a weird glaze and make IKEA's ones taste great in comparison.
