Had the cheese cake since 1996 and the taste has not changed a bit. Fantastic service and it's still the only cheese cake I'm able to eat.
Thanks we recently had the chocolate mousse cake and the croquembouche chocolate was amazing the service amazing
Everything here is amazing! It is even better now as you can have a coffee in store while you decide what to buy. Staff are so friendly, I wouldn't go anywhere else.
I love your cakes very much! They are so delicious!!
Fantastic everything!!! Amazing rich quiches, beautiful light, buttery shortbreads, sweet sticky bee stings and great pastries, tarts and cakes. Not to mention friendly service. Have been coming here for years. �
The most amazing dark chocolate truffles I've ever had. I've been making long trips here for years just to get them.
Best pies & cakes on earth, great childhood memories :)
Just love fresh cakes here just beautiful love them
Consistently high standard cakes + pastries
Most amazing quiches, pies and pastries you will EVER have! Words do not describe how delicious they are!
This was our favourite local bakery when I lived in Balwyn/ Surrey Hill, Melbourne.
It's best to eat it fresh - especially the sweet ones
Bread (Rye) can be frozen and still taste good if unfreeze it in room temperature
Amazing cakes and pastries. Desserts are never too sweet. Definitely going back again
We had vanilla slices, pastries, and tarts (for a party). No complaints from anyone
I have tried several cinnamon rolls in Melbourne, this one is the best so far, not too sweet but full of flavor (cause i prefer a strong flavor of the cinnamon) I really like it, lots of people in the shop when I went there last time, must be good with other cakes, will try some next time :D
Have been a customer for 15 years. They have been producing fabulous Swiss style sweet and savoury for about 30 years in this little shopping strip. Never needed to advertise/promote because customers return. My favourite are the little glazed fruit tartlets with custard underneath and the SPINACH Quiche. WOW. I was once told how much cream goes into the quiche. Can't remember, but do recall being astonished. LOTS. The cheesecake is a good example of the light sponge, baked Swiss cheese cake. It has to be eaten fresh, and can dry out if refrigerated badly. Nothing like the very sweet, gelatin and cream cheese cold sets that are mass produced.
Not many places in Melbourne that sell authentic austrian Linzer Torte but this is one. Not as good as the Tecoma Bakery before it changed owners but still pretty good!
Popped in this afternoon to have a peep at the display of slices & cakes as my sweet tooth was tingling. I couldn’t decide what I wanted so got the cherry hazelnut cake, gluten free chocolate cake and the vanilla slice. I had high expectations as the reviews were hype and I would totally agree these are some of the best cakes I’ve ever tried. The Vanilla slice was the star though, best vanilla slice I’ve ever had. Perrrfect ratio of custard to pastry. Custard light and fresh & the pastry flakey and crisp. The choc cake was GF but didn’t taste like a GF cake. In fact it’s better than any non GF choc cake I’ve had. The cherry hazelnut was lovely also. I’ve already scheduled in a date to return and purchase more- AM KEEN.
The best cakes and pastries in Melbourne!!! Make sure you try their cinnamon roll and strawberry pastries. You are always served by lovely and friendly staff
My family has been going here for over 30 years. All of the food is fantastic and the proprietor, Helen is a marvellous lady. I cannot pick out any particular item to rave over. The sausage rolls - great, also the quiches (both Quiche Lorraine and Vegetarian Quiche). The cakes too, particularly the strawberry cakes. Now Helen has moved a couple of doors down and has a coffee shop (in addition to the cakes etc.). I cannot wait to try this.
I can't give my opinion on there savoury food or coffees, ordered there small chocolate cake (don't remember what it's called) for a birthday was light a airy, and some of the best shortbread cookies.
There isn't one thing in this store that is not of professional standards. Our family has been going here for over 20 years. Their little cakes are amazing and their quiche is to die for!!!! Can highly recommend!!!!
Excellent cakes, amazing friendly helpful staff. They never hesitate to personalise cakes and go above and beyond. Sacher torte is very delicious
Amazing strawberry vanilla slice, always get the big size! Lovely staff also which just makes the day better. Assorted cookies are delish also. Very buttery.
Wow!
I called for a last minute birthday cake and within half an hour I picked it up with a birthday writing on it. Some places couldnt even do this. Im so amazed at the service. The lady who owns this place was so wonderful, gave us an add on (croissant and an eclair) as I raving about the review on zomato. Which apparently she has no idea about 😂
The strawberry vanilla slice and the croissant was spot on! Will definitely come back here for some good old baked goodies. Loveeee loveeee loveeee!
It is unbelievable what a good taste of this birthday cake, I order it to my honey, it is not sweet, but smooth and the mouth melting taste, fantastic, satisfying everyone's max! I will come it again definitely.
top notch cakes and amazingly helpful and friendly owners. Love their vanilla slice and well everything that I've had there. Great prices for the quality and quantity,
I have been on the search for a good meat pie since moving to Melbourne nearly 7 years ago. I have finally found my ideal pie at Hill Top Cakes!!! Perfect balance of soft and buttery pastry and meat/gravy with a beautiful flavour. I also tried a cherry vanilla slice and it was not too rich or sweet which was a lovely surprise. Plenty of goodies to go back and try next time! The quiches and dessert logs looked very enticing also. Yay!!!
Came across this small bakery after a friend had recommended this place to us and since then we haven't bought our vanilla slice anywhere else. Their vanilla slice is a must; delicious and not too sweet, the custard filling being set as I prefer this sort of texture over the loose, sloppy custard filling that some other stores have. The mini chocolate eclairs and strawberry tarts are also worth trying.
Can't be more thrilled by their cake!!! Had this cake for my bf's birthday! Everyone absolutely loved the cake! So beautifully made and great tasting! Thank you! Definitely going back for another piece soon!
Small bakery with large variety. As soon as you walk in you are greeted by lovely smiles. This time we tried a Black Forest log ($19.50). Decent size for the price and quality. Not too sweet and not too rich. The cherry flavour and creaminess is well balanced. We all really enjoyed it. Will definitely go again to try something else.
the cheesecake is heaven ! it's not too sweet , tastes just right and it's so fluffy . love the other pastries as well . definitely coming back for more :)
I placed an order on a monday for a large birthday cake and some savories for a birthday function. My order was taken by a very well spoken lady who introduced herself as Heather. She was incredibly helpful and polite. She not only took my order but she also offered a few suggestions. When I picked up my order the following monday, I found this customer service continued. I will purchase again from this shop. The cake was delicious and the savouries were equally as tasty. The treats from this cake shop were enjoyed by ALL at the party. Customer service was the cherry on the top. Thank you Heather.
Gone to this bakery a few times over the last few years! Havent tried all the dishes yet but the vanilla slices and strawberry vanilla loafs are definitely a must! They are sweet without being too sweet, the pastry is fluffy and crunchy; perfect with a side of tea. Yum yum
Love the cakes from here! And the ladies serving are also so kind, as they offer free baked goods sometimes if you are here towards the end of the day!
Anything and everything from this delightful little gem is to die for. A truly awesome array of tasty treats awaits as soon as you step through the front door. You will need some serious willpower not to over buy from this awesome European run bakery. From the cheesecake, to their quiches, I can't say that I've had better from anywhere else. One word of warning though, you'd want to make sure that you're there early, otherwise you might miss out…
Awesome cakes. Got raspberry cake and eclairs. The cake was perfect ... Nice balance of fruit cream and wafer. Eclair was a bit too sweet but still very nice.
A quick little FYI on Hill Top Cakes in Surrey Hills. It's a Swiss bakery run by the sweetest family. Ma runs the front of shop and Pa and son is at the back baking. There is a constant stream of locals coming in/out for various pastries and cakes. To give you an idea of the savoury options, we ordered a variety of mini quiches and party pies. The pastry was light and flaky and the filling wasn't too rich as quiches can often get. Most of the baked goods do come cold, so you will need to reheat once home.
Nice bakery. The spinach quiche here is amazing and the besting is quite good also. Nice customer service. (:
Top of the Hill. Hill Top Cakes is a fabulous, friendly family run Swiss bakery and cake shop. The best in the area and the cakes, pastries and mini cakes are fresh, delicious and all home made. Sausage rolls and quiche are also first class. It's always a pleasure to drop into Hill Top for any occasion.
Love love love. Especially their vanilla slices, eclair sand homemade winter soups!
Fantastic cakes!. My friend organized a beautiful sponge cake for my birthday from this store last year. it was the best sponge cake i have ever had & looked lovely, it really made the day! I have since dropped in when possible for a few slices & pastries, great quality & all delicious!
They have somewhat limited hours at times so best to ring before going if your not sure. I was also told they are moving to another premises in the same shopping strip sometime soon.
Consistently good family pies, bread and service. Great local Swiss bakery, friendly staff and our family favourite is the chunky meat pie, yum.
Highly recommended
Best bakery in melbourne.. Helen does a wonderful job making delicious food. Her quiches are amazing, as are her cakes. But above all, her biscuits are delicious and I can never leave without a bag...or box! By far the best bakery in melbourne.
Great Take away bakery. A quiet, unpretentious shop front hides a gem that many locals have loved for many years. Swiss bakery. Take away ONLY. The Spinach quiche is magnificent. All MADE ON THE PREMISES. Mini fruit custard tarts, mini mince pies, CHEWY ginger biscuits, French vanilla slice, shortbreads, sausage rolls. And so much more... Generally sold cold. Also caters for parties (pre-order). And the recent addition, mini lemon tarts are delicious, but only available some days.
What an unexpected discovery! I had heard about it from my friends for a while but never took the chance to visit and try the delicious cakes. My favourite is the vanilla slice, perfect for a light afternoon tea. The small fruit tarts can be very addictive too!!!
The place is clean, and staffs are so so friendly. I had a wonderful afternoon. So i am looking forward to go back the hill top any time soon.
Very yummy strawberry vanila slice! Amazing fruit tarts:) It is worth driving an hour to have this grear treat! Highly recommend!
LOVE this Swiss Cake Store. It is definitely my Favourite in the area. The Staff are ALWAYS Polite and Friendly. My Son likes the Quiches a and my Daughter adores the Little Tarts. Their Pies, Sausage Rolls & Pasties Pastry is Smooth and Tasty.
This place is fabulous! So far we bought an apple strudel & a Black Forest cake & they taste like made by my Oma! Today we went again & bought those little beauties. Can’t wait to try! If you need an urgent (super delicious) cake fix, this is your place. Helen, the owner is a very lovely lady & her personal customer service makes this place a true gem.
If you are looking for the best Swiss treats and other bakery goods, look no further then Hilltop Cake Shop. My family and I have been coming here for years and it still is amazing. Great friendly service with the best coffee and of course chocolate dipped biscuits, quiches and the chicken and leak pies! Yum yum yum!!
We have been a customers at Hilltop Cakes for over 30 years and they have never disappointed!! Our go to every time for something special. Consistent top quality and friendly service....thankyou Hilltop.
Adore this place. The most exquisite cakes and goodies! They do coffee here too, and you can sit down and enjoy a latte with something from the window: pies, pastries, eclairs, cakes, quiche, croissant... It's all beautiful.
