This place was made aware to me by a student I teach, who proclaimed that this place had "the best vanilla slice". Whilst I was passing by it was an opportunity to see if this was indeed the case. Sadly, the slice did not live up to its reputation, or perhaps my expectations are now so high that this slice would not feature anywhere near my top ten these days? Nevertheless, there was obvious vanilla content in the sweetened whipped cream filling, but cream alone does not satisfy the custard criteria sufficiently. The pastry was lacking a golden baked colour and crispness. The fact that all other cakes are baked on site, but these are brought in led me to believe that this was not freshly baked and the pastry was only functional for eating freestyle. Keep the recommendations coming!
