風月堂 Savoy Cake Chatswood

For some reason I passed by this place for years before trying. Some favourites: cheesecake - has a nice touch of raisins and that magic chiffon cream texture that's not like the fake stuff which is more a sponge cake; coffee cookies; pineapple tarts (actually wintermelon); various pastry balls - although the walnut can be a bit off like most places that use nuts. Have bought a few full sized cakes (lychee and strawberry) on occasion as a treat and for work, not too sweet and using real fresh cream and fruit not that mock and flavour essence nonsense. There is one stick type biscuit that is rock hard and not too pleasant.

Best Taro cake. We get this every year as my Birthday cake

The taro cake here is the best in Sydney I reckon, haven't found one that tops it yet. Soft, light vanilla sponge sandwiched with taro puree and covered in fresh cream. Not overly sweet and so, so easy to eat. It looks a little daggy (or vintage!) but always hits the spot.

Their pastries and sweet treats are amazing, though they do cost a fair bit. Taro cake is highly recommended.

Bought the taro and coffee mini swiss rolls for the first time. Both were extremely dry. No taro puree and coffee tasted very light. Make sure to have a drink on hand. Would not recommend.

Use to buy this cake from the hay market store over 10 years ago. I brought the taro cake for the 1st time from the Chatswood store. The flavour is still the same and delicious, however there is too much cream compared to the amount of sponge. It’s not balance. There need to be more sponge and less cream. It didn’t use to be like this.

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. We got the cheese sticks today and the expiry is 14 June 2022 (it is April now), however as soon as we opened the packet the smell of rancid oil was so strong I hesitated putting it in my mouth. I did anyway - and spat it out straight away because it tasted like it would give me cancer. I didn’t notice the bottom of the packet before but the soaked silica gel packets and the oil gathered at the bottom of the bag suggests that this has probably been out for at least a couple of months. Needless to say I will never return, but please make sure you actually sell food that won’t give people food poisoning.

So disappointed with Savoy Chatswood. I've been buying cakes from Savoy Burwood for years and the cakes there are light and fluffy and deliciously more-ish (everyone wants a second slice).However I bought two cakes in Chatswood (tarot and lychee) for birthdays and both were so disappointing. The cream layers were so thick and heavy it squashed the sponge into a thin dense layer. The texture of the sponge was no longer fluffy. Each bite was just heavy cream. Go to Burwood if you want a good cake!

Had the strawberry cake. Not too sweat and like. Love it

Rushed to the shop 7minutes before 5pm today(open hour should be 5pm), it’s closed, two women inside, I knocked on the door for their attention but they waved no.
