I write this post with mixed emotions as the product I’m out to review is not particularly good - but not awful. I visit Espresso 155 regularly to buy their coffee beans and am always happy to stop and have a chat with the friendly owners. It’s a great cafe with awesome coffee, a large variety of Keep cups and a very strong ethos of pleasing the customer. Since I last visited they now have some homemade cakes in their display cabinet, including some vanilla slices...so who was I to say no! Selling at an overpriced $5 the slice was your typical home assembled effort, most likely using shop bought ingredients, such as frozen puff pastry sheets and vanilla pudding mixture. The pasty was fresh at least, but didn’t set my palate alight. The filling was overly sweet and tasted like a packet mix, with a creamy consistency and fluffy, springy texture. The icing was unusual; grainy and soft and actually detracted from the rest of the slice. Worth a punt, but I will stick to the coffee beans thanks.
