I had a tough time choosing what to order! The cardamom bun was delightful, and I also picked up a pain au chocolat to go, which was excellent as well. I would seriously consider returning to Dunedin just to eat here again, so I highly recommend it!

The breads are delicious, and the pastries look incredible, making it difficult to decide what to choose! The space is lovely, with a seating area, so it’s more than just a bakery front. I really enjoyed the food I picked from the display case, although I haven't tried anything from the menu yet.

On the bright side, the almond croissant is absolutely the best I've had in Dunedin—delicious! Unfortunately, the cardamom bun wasn't impressive. I mentioned to the staff that I could hardly drink the chai latte, but they didn't offer to replace it. Perhaps I'm just used to better service when it comes to subpar drinks, but that's okay. I'll definitely return for more of those almond croissants!

Nonetheless, it was really good! We also tried the cardamom bun, which was fluffy, flavorful, and baked to perfection. I would definitely return to sample other pastries and baked goods. Highly recommend!
