The Baker's Duck

Whilst everything looked lovely, I paid $27 for a beef sausage rolls and 2 pastries. The beef sausage roll tasted no different to the ones you buy from a petrol station, the only difference is this one had flaky pastry. The strawberry cheesecake pastry was below expectations, tasted more like a yoghurt than a cream cheese. The cinnamon bun was my favourite and I would order it, if I went again. The pastry layers were all covered in cinnamon sugar and was so fluffy inside. Also unfortunately they appeared to be over cooked

It's nice, but I will try a different bakery on my next visit to Toowoomba. This is a popular place. We went here because we saw the billboard on the highway and then saw it had good reviews on Google. We had a croissant, quiche, and cinnamon scroll croughnut. Food was nice but nothing to write home about. Cost $36 for those 3 things and a bottle of OJ.

It came highly recommended though that might have raised my expectations too high... We arrived on a drizzly Saturday morning to a fairly busy/bustling little corner store cafe, and managed to get some of the last remaining seats inside. I was told they sell pies but I didn’t see any, so maybe those were already sold out. So we tried a few other items: * almond croissant, $9.50 Decent compared to others in/around Brisbane I’ve tried, though couldn’t dethrone my favourites. It has a good amount of frangipane that wasn’t too sweet. It was also getting pretty close to Lune’s pricing for the same item so that’s getting up there. * pork, sage & apple sausage roll, $8.50 Good sized serve, and it was still steaming hot inside. Wouldn’t say the pastry was particularly crispy/flaky on the outside, nor the filling firm with good bite on the inside… overall flavour was nice but not my preferred style of sausage roll. * bacon quiche, $8.50 Pretty good. This was the boy’s choice and he ate almost all of it. I tried some and found it quite agreeable to my tastes. * pumpkin, spinach & feta quiche, $8.50 Didn’t try any but it seemed to be consistent with the bacon version. Next time I'll try some of the sweet stuff, and maybe even make an effort to catch a pie.
