Ordered a Lemon and Green Tea cake. It was reasonably priced ($85) for the serving size (16).
Everyone loved the cake, it was not too sweet and had great flavour. The texture was creamy, loved the layers of lemon jelly, cheesecake and matcha in the middle.
While the cakes and croissants are good, the prices are definitely a bit steep. I had high expectations for the croissant since there’s so much hype about it but it’s not as fluffy as expected. The coconut tart was pretty good - subtle flavours and wasn’t overly sweet.
Can be hard to park nearby, and busy on weekends. For the pastries and cakes though, it's worth it. They are doing some really different and delicious items that you can't get anywhere else. My favourite is the ruby cheesecake. I drive from the North Shore to get it!
A good selection of French inspired cakes & pastries. They do special flavour croissants on weekends, such as durian, Thai milk tea & cheesecake with mixed berry jam etc. It’s happen to be the black truffle season at the moment so they have created Black Truffle Croissant along with Black Truffle soft serve served on a croissant cone. 🙂 The Black Truffle Croissant had infused black truffle in the custard so was the soft serve on the croissant cone. Both had a subtle flavour of black truffle. The soft serve was not as creamy as I hoped for but the extra bit of shaved black truffle enhancing the flavour which was great. I just loved the flakiness & crispiness of both croissant & croissant cone, they made a perfect treat. 🙂
They also have a number of inventive cakes on display. The two tarts that I tried were delicious & beautifully presented. Reasonable price compared to other dessert places. Coffee was average though, no latte art in my Cappuccino... too busy or lazy?? 😏
Textbook have probably the beat croissants and specialty pastries and breads in Sydney. Consistently high quality product with a focus on a variety of flavours and fillings. There is heaps of hype around this place and it's well deserved, I'll always return whilst there is passion in what these guys do. Keep up the great work.
This is my favourite place in Sydney for croissants. I’ve had the durian and truffle croissants which were weekend specials. The pastry itself was very flakey and crispy on the outside and the filling inside was really good.
My friend told me that this place sells the ‘Boba Croissant’ however when I went there, to my disappointment they only make them in the weekends. Although I didn’t go home empty handed, as their other Croissants look amazingly appealing! I bough an Almond Croissant and their special ‘Thai milk tea Croissant’. It was surprisingly one of the best Croissant I’ve ever had in Sydney! It have a really creamy filling, and it’s very sweet (might be too sweet for some people), but for me, the sweetness is just right!
I would come back again definitely for the food, even though the staff weren’t the friendliest people that day :)
Go there for the croissants, stay for the cheesecake!
The delicacy of the French style cheesecake had me going crazy. The croissants are actually quite good... Flaky, soft and good amount of filling. We had the cheesecake-berry jam flavoured croissant which was a rather creative combination. I had no complaints whatsoever. Great staff, you can actually see the chefs kneading the dough and making pastries! Lots of yum options to try every weekend. Definitely worth a second visit.
Pastry is handled like Royal treatment, beautifully crafted by hands of qualified pastry chefs, text-book stuff!
My morning coffee routine is a piccolo, which was ok, and 3 of us start hammering on Christmas croissant flavor, which was superb, apple pie, which was bake to perfection and eggnog mouse, just because this green donut shape like look so cute 😝.
Well, we were still hungry just because we were sharing, so decided to get another raspberry Cronut, that tangy raspberry flavour very good to cut through all the sweetness and follow by Dark Chocolate mousse with whites chocolate ganache which is my favorite among 5 of items that we’ve tried today.
Decided to come here upon seeing awesome reviews online. Definitely lives up to its name! We came in too late for the creamy croissants (apparently they sell out around 9am each morning) but instead I got a chicken, mushroom and truffle pie. Great value at $8! The ambiance was good and the place appeared like a genuine French patisserie.
Different but good. If you are the kind of person that wants to try a different variety or types of unusual cakes, this is your hangout or to go shop. Overall we enjoyed it 👍👍👍
Bought some pastries for my wife's birthday - absolutely stunning. I also had the lamb sausage roll and found it mouthwateringly delicious. Best plain and almond croissants I've had in Sydney for some time, strong recommendation.
While the cakes and croissants are good, the prices are definitely a bit steep. I had high expectations for the croissant since there’s so much hype about it but it’s not as fluffy as expected. The coconut tart was pretty good - subtle flavours and wasn’t overly sweet.
This is one of Red and my favourite places to visit. The pastries are to die for and they serve great coffee. The weekly croissant specials I have tried have all been great. My favourite so far was the mixed berry and cheesecake.
Another reason we keep coming back is my mother loves their cakes. We have bought a number of their full size cakes, all are exceptional and great value for money considering the quality, ingredients and flavours.
My mother and family all thoroughly enjoyed the special cake which was dark chocolate mousse, raspberry marshmallow, passion fruit cream, brownie and raspberry chantilly.
I’ll be back for another cake on Mother’s Day.
