Brents Patisserie - Eltham

Although I had already eaten lunch, I couldn't resist trying their vanilla slice and lamington to go. The lamington was large and had a light sponge with generous amounts of chocolate and coconut. The vanilla slice was equally impressive, with flaky pastry and a rich, creamy custard filling. Finding hidden gems like Brent's Patisserie is always a treat, and I highly recommend stopping by for some scrumptious cakes.

The custard was truly delicious. It had a rich, creamy, and whipped texture, not overly sweet but bursting with vanilla flavor. There was a generous amount of custard, making it difficult to eat without making a mess. The pastry was unexpectedly crunchy, with thin, compressed layers providing a sturdy base for eating the slice without utensils. The only minor drawback was the thickness of the icing; however, its sweetness balanced out the richness of the custard quite well. Overall, this bakery in the North is a true success.

Consistency and service ...<br/ <br/ From worst to awesome ...<br/ 3/10 $4.30 'big ' Sausage Roll, it was undercooked, pastry not set, also I did asked for a small Sausage Roll, lovely girl.<br/ 8/10 $6.30 Beef Burgundy, balanced, chunky and just need a bit of Black pepper and a glass of Pinot Noir. I did asked for the last Pepper steak, however she was too slow and another customer who was tended after me was given the steak, never mind.<br/ 9/10 $4.00 New York Choc Brownie, gooey, chewy and just scrumptiously yummy.<br/ <br/ Let 's give it another visit shortly, trust more consistency and better service.

Glenda is an Eltham institution. Her cakes are delicious husband Kevin does a good job too! Yummy pies great vanilla slices. Gluten free available. Her vego sausage rolls are the best.

I ordered a stack of cupcakes from Brents and they were amazing! Delicious, soft with a smooth buttercream. The customers service was exceptional too, easy to deal with everyone there with just the right amount of communication. Highly recommended.
