Pastry: Thick, dense slabs 3/10
Presentation: Poorly proportioned and unappealing 2/10
Value for money: $5.50 (estimate) Medium portion, sickly and unappetising 3/10
Overall score: 3.3/10
The vanilla slice looked like it had been run over by a reversing car with a short, squashed appearance. The pastry was about three quarters of the overall height of the slice and so dense it was impossible to stomach. It was more like a short crust pastry, or the texture of the pastry on the underside of a fruit strudel. The custard itself turned out to be little more than double cream with a hint of thickening agent and sugar. It’s rich heaviness was also too much to complete and most squished out the sides on to the Horan paper bag. Mrs B enjoyed her donut, but she was ravenous at the time. The latte was a little better than average.
