Checked this bakery on a raining day but still a few customers there ordering takeaway. Great range of desserts and the vanilla slice is really good!
My partner and I love their version of vanilla slice, not too sweet with good flakiness of the pastry.
Good pies too, especially the beef steak is my go to.
The beef empanada was really good, fresh and the meat was perfect. I had a cake too with custard cream, ham and dulce de leche... Was an absolutely YES for me. The cookies nothing from other world and the bread (marraqueta) too...
While I can't vouch for authenticity as I haven't been to South America to try the real deal before, I can vouch for the deliciousness of the empanadas and pastries here.
The beef emapanada was surprisingly big, and affordably priced at $4. Filled to the brim with beef, onions and eggs, it was delicious. In saying that, I personally preferred the crackly buttery pastry of the cheese and prawn fried empanada over the thicker and not so buttery pastry of the beef empanada.
Naturally I had to try the sweets, and the Marciano's Delight (half on half) and chilenito hit the spot. The former consisted of puff pastry with layers of dulce de leche, vanilla custard and strawberries - a delightful combination of flaky, creamy, rich and fruity texture and taste. The chilenito impressed with its crumbly pastry and rich dulce de leche too.
Lovely and down to earth service, reasonably decent coffee, and yummy baked goods. I look forward to returning to try out the rest of the cakes here.
After coming back from South America I found it difficult to find places that filled that foodie void. This bakery has been under my nose all this time specialising in South American cakes and on the side they also make some homemade pies, empanadas and sandwiches.
I had to grab myself a couple of empanadas which were monstrous! The cheese one had a flakey buttery pastry with melted cheese inside. Delicious. The beef one on the other hand had a standard pastry but was packed with beef mince, onion, eggs and olive. Great value at $4 a pop and was satisfyingly filling, comparable if not better than the ones I've had in Chile.
Their cakes were also beautiful, I'll definitely be grabbing a few of those beauties. They also do custom cakes also.
Traditional Chilean baked empanadas. Pastry was sturdy and held up to the well packed juicy beef filling inside. Nice amount of spice in the mix makes for a great lunch item if you're in the area.
the best empanadas in Australia and you can't change my mind, I live in QLD and everytime I visit my sister in Melbourne I must eat their empanadas, she even brings me dozens when she visits me.. The best,. period..
Great spot! food is absolutely delicious. They do everything from traditional Chilean cakes to big party cakes. Not to mention the great assortment of Chilean goodies. I will keep coming back!
I absolutely adore this place! Unbelievably good cakes and coffee, the empanadas are delicious! The staff are always in a good mood and always make customers feel welcome.
If you like South America, you will love Marcianos Cakes! I highly recommend Mercianos Cakes for any celebration or tea party if you are catching up with friends over coffee Mercianos is the perfect place to get some cake to share. I look forward to my next visit to Mercianos Cakes!🎂🍰🧁☕
Chicken Empanadas were amazing, Coffee was excellent and for the first time ever in my experience, the sugar was mixed and not dancing their own dance at the bottom of the mug. Best coffee I've had ever, and the tres leches cake was so worth the 40min drive to get here!
