The Grumpy Baker

My family loves The Grumpy Baker's pies, borek and laminations! We usually get the the Sourdough wholemeal bread which is great but last week I decided to try the olive and garlic bread. It was inedible and we ended up putting it in the trash! There was hardly any olives, only tiny specs and the rest of the bread was chock full of garlic The garlic I think was roasted but the flavour was extremely intense. See the photo and how many pieces of garlic I pulled from one slice, way too many cloves of garlic! The bread reeked of revolting tasting garlic, it was the most horrendous bread I have ever tasted! Do not buy!

Huge sausage rolls, very tasty.Cakes were niceCoffee was great

Perched higher on beach st, further away from the main beach strip, it’s a great coastal walk pitstop — slight detour in land- but still with a beautiful view! There are two Bourekas ($7.50) — cheese & spinach and potato — were piping hot from the oven around 11am and the chunky beef & lamb pies ($9.50) are well packed. The croissant ($5) has a slightly more yeasty, sweet vibe, still slightly flakey. Bit on the pricier side (?), but I guess it’s on the up recently.

It's a small little place and the guy working the counter actually wasn't very friendly but the chocolate chip muffin was pretty good as well as the apple turnover, which wasn't bad.

I am a regular on weekends and usually love coming here. Terrible experience this morning. 8 months pregnant holding a toddler and waited in a massive queue (fine, understand it’s a busy day) only to get to the front and be made to wait for 5 mins. I asked politely to be served after waiting quite patiently, and the man who was out the back unstacking the dishes washer, checking his phone and putting banana bread in the toaster said sorry I have orders I need to prepare. He then proceeded to put croissants off a baking tray into the shelves. I waited approx another 5 mins struggling in the heat and holding a tantruming toddler until he asked the barista to serve me. She was lovely. But this man had no regard for my state, and that I needed to sit down with a drink and some food quite quickly. My family and I sadly won’t be back because of this experience.

cute place. friendly staff. yummy coffee and breakfast.

This place is located on a hill and is underrated. Had the morrocan lamb pie which was hot, delicious, meaty with flakey crust. It was more than 'just right'. Small dining area with homey atmosphere

Sausage rolls are huge with decent pastry, but the filling is basically just a hunk of dry meat. The beef pie was ok, with soggy pastry, and on the small side- especially for the price of it all

A bakery that I want to go every day ... taste great, but saw a fly in the bread shelf ......
