Aroma coffee. 474 Gardeners Rd, Alexandria. Trendy looking bakery – there’s one in Surry Hills that I’ve been to (but not reviewed, it seems) and it seems a couple of others. Their work is of a really high standard, too.
Desserts: – flourless chocolate cake, lemon meringue tart, chocolate mousse and raspberry tart.
There’s seating around the outside windows for eight to ten people, and a big communal table that seats probably 15 people in relative comfort. With their location, they’re doing a lot of takeaway lunches for people who work nearby – it’s not unusual to see people walk out with a dozen little paper bags of delicious treats.
My decaf was pleasant enough, though it’s hit and miss – another one I try is a little burnt. If you’re here, though, the reality is that you’re looking for good food, not good decaf.
Ah memories, I was working in Bourke St when the original opened… the sourdough was the best I’ve ever had, which is a good marker for the quality of the bakery imo. It’s reviews like yours that really make me miss culinary sydney!
Dave, what about their pies?
You’ve gotta have one, they are brilliant!!
