Bake Bar: Organic Artisan Bakery, Randwick (4 Aug 2012)

67 Frenchmans Road, Randwick NSW 2031

A fresh breath of baked goods

Bake Bar looks like a great little spot to pick up some freshly baked breads and sweet treats. The bakery is in partnership with Gusto Espresso Bar next door which both share the same space and seating. The Coconut & Pistachio Cookie ($3.50) was like a macaroon but shaped in a roundish ball. Not sure if you can really call it a cookie but it was a tasty and light treat I'd happily have again. The Spelt Carrot Cupcake ($4.80) was moist as hoped and had just the right amount of icing for me. There's a fair amount of flavour from the ingredients in walnuts I believe I spotted inside. It's a little expensive for a cupcake but it seems to be quality over quantity. From first impressions it looks like a nice bakery that will be a great asset to the local area. The brownie ($5) I spotted in the display is on my wish list for hopefully next time.

SNAPSHOT REVIEW:

PROS: Friendly staff, Freshly baked goods, Nice and clean seating area, I'm assuming there's some organic products due to the name of the bakery, Spotted some flourless options

CONS: A little bit more expensive than your average bakery

MUST TRY: Revisiting to try other cakes and the coffee

VERDICT: A tempting selection of cakes on display that I hope to further investigate
