I popped into this branch of Woodfrog bakery on the way to work and purchased a chocolate croissant. Having been blown away by their almond croissant in the past, I was looking forward to a nice sweet chocolatey time.
The croissant itself was a decent size. It was very light and remained slightly crispy. The chocolate filling was slightly disappointing in quantity and taste. Thankfully the layers of pastry made up for it.
Their spelt scone seems to be very popular so will try have to try that next time.
I love Woodfrog! Their bread is awesome as evidenced by the lines out the door on Saturday mornings. However I have one beef with your happy hour special! If you are silly enough to get there just before closing, and buy a loaf of whatever-is-left bread, you may be offered a choice of a left over danish or an unsellable scone for just $2. A bargain, you cry, and yes it is. Or you may be offered a choice of 5 golden morsels for just $10! An even bigger bargain, I hear you say, and yes it is, considering these are usually $4 each. But what if you can't eat 5 Danishes or don't have a hoard of small people to feed? Maybe you would like to buy just 2 of these delectable delights? But NO! You can only buy 1! or 5, but never 2 or 3 or 4 (unless you want to pay full price!). Apparently they would rather throw that Scone away, than sell it to you for $2! They would rather you watch them grind that scone into dust under their feet than make a $2 profit. It is a very sad and sorry tale I have to tell, but I hope that someone at Woodfrog hears my cry for help, my lament for scone freedom and takes mercy on my sconeless soul.....
I really wanted to get in before they stop making hot cross buns, and I'm so glad that I did. The buns at Woodfrog Bakery are some of my favourites, as they are so full of fruit and spice. The outsides are beautifully glazed, and the insides are so light and fluffy.
I also couldn't resist a date scone as well as these huge rugged looking beauties looked divine. Golden brown on the outside, and filled with sweet date pieces; this scone was absolutely fantastic.
Woodfrog Bakery is a small store at the rear of the main road, close to the parking lot where the markets are held. It's a lovely space with so many delicious breads and pastries on offer. Staff are clearly happy to be working in such an environment as they are friendly, patient and helpful. Woodfrog Bakery remains one of my favourites, and I look forward to the opportunity to visit as often as I can.
