Saint-Germain Patisserie

Cute little patisserie near Technology Park where I was at for the day. Coffee there was terrible so I headed out for a stroll. Loved the various cakes, pastries they had on show. They all looked delicious and I ended up buying a chocolate hazelnut brioche for $ 4.50 which I thought was extremely reasonable for what I got. It was seriously delicious. The chocolate not too sweet and the bread was yummy. Will try their other awesome looking pastries next time I’m in the area.

Hands down these are the best pastries in Sydney. I live nearby and get a chocolate and almond croissant every morning when it has just come out of the oven and it is amazing.

Upon my friend’s insistence that I will not find better pastries in the area, my curiosity (and a sweet tooth) brought me here. This café/​bistro is named after a French baker from the town of Saint-​Germain, who helped train the bakery’s staff. A short stroll from Redfern station and you find a slice of Paris.
Think indulgent treats such as chocolate éclairs, strawberry tarts, croissants, and to my delighted surprise; macarons! They may not be good for your waistline but at $ 1.50 each, they are just too damn hard to resist. My favourite, the strawberry and cream, rivalled Adriano Zumbo’s .Try this cookie and you will wonder what took you so long.
The cherry on top is the friendly and efficient staff who love what they do. The coffee is good but it’s all about the cakes. Note to self: start diet next week.
