Value for money: $6 (estimate), freshly baked (even on a Sunday) 8/10
Overall score: 8/10
Can a vanilla slice be too rich? Too buttery? The answer is yes. The tri-layered effort is excellent and considering it was a Sunday I was so pleased to discover the freshly baked goods on offer here. The pastry was dark, crisp and flaky - beautiful. The custard, however, was way too buttery and mega rich. Its viscosity was perfect and its sweetness just about right, but the balance of cream, butter and egg was slightly off target. I will definitely be back for lunch again, but will try another cake next time.
