Chanced upon this homely little bakery after finishing a hearty brunch across the road. The cakes and pastries caught my eye, so I decided to grab a jam doughnut and a beef burgundy pie to go.
The jam doughnut, save for the lacklustre serving of jam, was a beautiful treat indeed. Light and soft, with a slightly crisped exterior.
The beef burgundy pie was brimming with fillings, and very flavourful, with a rich and robust sauce. Flaky buttery pastry rounded up this yummy pie.
Lovely and friendly service from the lady behind the counter, and with such a delectable selection of pastries, it just means that I have to return to try them all, don't I?

After leaving Miss Frank for brunch (which is almost opposite), I picked up a curried beef pie for a friend (which I ended up sharing) from this cute little bakery/‘pantry’. They had a wonderful selection of cakes, pastry’s and even soup. The pie itself was delicious. It had a nice flaky crust and good pastry to meat ratio.
As soon as we entered we were greeted with a friendly welcome and a large amount of scrumptious looking food. Trying to decide was the hardest part, as everything was homemade and looked very fresh. Large assortment of homemade slices, cakes, tarts and quiches. After much deliberation a vegetable quiche ($18), and a pear tart ($22) were chosen. (I sneakily brought one of my favourite temptations; a custard tart) Finally dragging ourselves out of the store with promises to return, we travelled home to share our goodies. The quiche was warmed in the oven for 10 minutes and was easily shared between six friends. The pear tart was lovely with thick cream and lasted us two days of desert. My sneaky custard tart didn't disappoint but didn't get into my top five. Overall it was a tasty lunch, and I would recommend dropping by on a rainy day to take away a pick-me-up
Definitely a neighbourhood gem that we frequent a few times a week - friendly excellent service from Gina & staff, great coffee (I call it my " happy coffee"!), unpretentious food that's hard to resist (especially the almond croissant, custard doughnut & spinach ricotta rolls) and a warm welcome for our dogs. Can't ask for much more.
Love this place. Comfort food at it's very best. Delicious homemade food like the cake shop of old. Friendly service and great prices. I buy cakes and pies every weekend. Just wish there was better seating, as I would eat in. Keep doing what you're doing, us locals love you!
Feeling the need for some arvo tea, Beaker suggested that we get some baked goodies from Through Road Pantry. TRP is located in, well, Through Road in Camberwell. It’s a nice little strip of local shops. I’m told that while TRP does nice baked goods, in recent times, its popularity has been eroded by the relatively newcomer in Through Road, Miss Frank (a more slick operation). Having had a gawp at the goodies in both TRP and MF, I was more interested in what TRP had to offer (an impressive range of goodies for one thing). It’s a simple bakery with a slight air of retro chic to it. In the window, all the many and lovely baked goodies are displayed, and when we walked in, there was an absolutely divine aroma of freshly baked sausage rolls that greeted us. In some ways, it felt like I was walking into nanna’s kitchen – warm and comforting, as opposed to the trendy and modern cafe that is Miss Frank. In keeping with the old school set up, there are no tables and chairs at TRP. It’
