Tucked away in a sleepy little shopping centre (on the way to Cronulla), I first tried their Japonaise (over 10 years ago), and just had to find out where it came from! Since then, whenever we need a cake for a special occasion, or to take a cake for a special event, I've never been let down. Apart from the Japonaise, they have a chocolate mousse cake (can't remember the name) but it has a layer or rice bubbles, the smooth decadence of the mousse, combined with the crunch is just to die for! You'll be hard pressed to find better cakes! SOOO WORTH the trip to find these guys! (Check their trading hours though).

Woolooware Patisserie is my favourite place for great pies.

I can't go past the steak and mushroom pie, the chicken pie or their sausage roll. I love to share a lamington or two with my children.

To me this place serves pies just how they should be, I never even bother with sauce as they are just so good.

They do serve espresso coffee, while ok it isn't really worth the price. That said it is about as good as the coffee shop next door, yet cheaper and in better quality cups.

Approximate cost: $3.80
