An impromptu drive through the leafy suburb of Keilor led me to Caffe Dolce. Having since read their reviews on Zomato I might have done well to avoid this place, however I felt reasonably satisfied with my vanilla slice. I was initially surprised by the extortionate price tag of this thing, but at least it was fresh. It would have sat comfortably at around the $4 mark, especially given the smaller than average portion. The filling was the highlight; a fluffy, creamy vanilla custard that oozed out with each bite. Nice but not amazing. The pastry tasted homedmade, and had puffed more than I like in my slices. It was crispy and easy enough to bite through but not overly complex, like you get from high end pastry chefs. The icing was pretty good, applying itself with firm adhesion to my finger tips, but lacking any chocolate from the sporadic pattern applied. Not bad, but incorrectly priced.
