Whilst walking through the maze of Ikea in Richmond my vanilla slice radar picked up on the nearby Keith's Bakery. With a reputation dating back to the 60's and somebody touting them as having the best vanilla slice in Richmond on TripAdvisor, I felt it necessary to see for myself. Their slice was pretty good; with finely baked, golden, flaky pastry sheets sandwiching some pretty ordinary custard that had a ever-so-slightly set texture. Their pastry and millimeter thin icing were the heroes of the slice, with a commendable price also notable. Extra credit should go to their sustainable biodegradable packaging for their takeaway cups, but sadly this isn't one of my scoring criteria!
