They had cake carton tray for sweets, so how come they do not use it and put in a brown bag so that it does not sweat. On top of this situation, it tasted and smelled some kind of milk products that is not quite right. Worst hot cross bun ever!(2) Very limited selection - only 1 sourdough bread which is 100% organicIf you are paying $8.00 a loaf, it should be organic, if I compare to other organic bakeries. It was so light in weight. Good organic bread is heavier.(3) Burned croissantIt is $4.00 but it was burned on the top and did not have enough layers nor nice crispy crunch on the top. Totally overrated. As I have lived in Europe and USA for years and got used to real "Artisan organic bakery products", I was more than disappointed and felt like wasted my time and money to go there.

People who winge so much like the review about living o/s should maybe consider baking their own bread and then they don't need to complain so much! Keep up the amazing products, which we travel one hour for!

Bread is put into a nice thick paper bag-not thin or plastic. Prices-what you would expect to pay for artisan bread in a small sa business in a niche hip location i.e. Plant 4.Range-not as large as a bakery but that's fine - that's not their service offering. Small range = quality goods.

Their prices are quite reasonable. They have sweet pastries, cakes and breads. They also offer coffees, with plenty of sittings available, either indoor or outdoor. Within Plant 3, there are a brewery, a bar, a flower plant shop etc. Plant 3 has a semi-transparent roof, so it's bright and warm when there is sunshine outside. A perfect place for enjoying a morning coffee with a delicious pastry. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
