I have sampled all three of their slices. The passionfruit slice is made of fresh cream and pastry with passionfruit icing, quite nice but incredibly rich. The traditional slice is all 'snot block' style custard and white icing which isn't so good. The best of the three is what they call the "French Vanilla Slice" with a less than traditional coffee icing. This slice is made up of layers of pastry, fresh cream, custard and coffee fondant. Again, the custard is not so good but the fresh cream and icing make up for this.

Probably the best all round vanilla slice that I have sampled in the city. I have such fondness for their slices my lovely girlfriend bought me a years supply for my 30th birthday present. The taste, texture, appearance and size tick all the boxes. Fresh baked, crumbly pastry with delicious sweet fondant icing with a generous portion of creamy, vanilla flavoured custard. Their pastry is the best in my opinion. Even better, their 'weekend-only' passionfruit glazed version makes the slice unbeatable so far in my search. |
