Filling: Delicious tasting, overly set vanilla custard 7.5/10 Pastry: Hideously under baked and soggy 3/10 Presentation: Somewhat unique and pretentious 4/10 Value for money: $7- Ridiculously priced and well below par 3.5/10 Overall score: 4.5/10 A trendy Melbourne styled cafe in Port Fairy selling a decent coffee and freshly baked pastries is what I envisaged. Admittedly the coffee was great, but the vanilla slices being sold her are extremely confusing. Lets start with something positive - the flavour of the custard. With speckled vanilla bean running throughout the mix, the creaminess coupled with the sweet vanilla was delicious. However, the mixture suffers from far too much cornflour or setting agent and the texture resembled more of a panna cotta than a lush custard. Surrounding the custard were some very sad and under baked layers of 'pastry'. Although a good thickness they were just too soggy and offered nothing to the ensemble. And as for the lemon...Perhaps lets not even go there. A word of advice Bank St & Co - Get the product right, then price it accordingly.
