Coogee Bakehouse: Orange and Poppyseed Cake, Coogee (12 Sept 2010)

142 Malabar Road, South Coogee NSW 2034



All the classic cakes

The owners of this fairly large bakery seem to sell all the classics you'd expect to find in your local bakery like meat pies, sausage rolls, lamingtons, lemon tarts, cupcakes, banana cake, chocolate brownies, coconut slice and rum balls to name just a few. I pick the decently sized Orange and Poppyseed cake ($3) with ample icing on top. It's not too dense although not too light as well. Flavour is OK and has the right amount of orange and poppyseed flavours you'd expect. As a takeaway it's squeezed into a light white paper bag which is prone to squashing accidents during transport. For delicate cakes like this a small wax lined box or tray would be more appropriate I think to aid in safe transporting. The cakes seem reasonably priced and they advertise as cooking everything on the premises so hopefully it's as fresh as it can be. There's basic seating inside which perhaps could do with a renovation to make it more cosy but I suspect most of the trade is takeaway.

SNAPSHOT REVIEW:
PROS: Open 7 days, Plenty of street parking, Everything made on the premises, Reasonably priced, Fair amount of choices
CONS: Limited and simple indoor seating, Limited range of gluten free cakes
MUST TRY: Pies and sausage rolls next time
