I bought a lemon meringue pie from here today and it was awful. I'm no stranger to lemon meringue pies - it's the primary dessert I will order from a bakery and this one was only held together by the crust. One bite and the entire thing ran out.. everywhere. It was basically a giant puddle of goo, there was absolutely no structure to it. I don't know if they're not making them correctly or if where they store them is super hot so it 'melted' as such but it was not pleasant.
So after I am covered with sticky goo, there were no easily accessible napkins; thankfully I carry wet wipes in my handbag.
I don't know what the rest of the stuff is like but after eating a dessert so poorly made I don't think I'll be back.

This place has just opened under the new Bunnings. Great friendly & helpful staff & good prices. I am a lover of Banh Mi & they do it great (best we have found in Canberra). Rolls were great (just baked), pate looks home made & tastes delicious. Had all the ingredients except for shallot, but they tasted great. You can also get crackling with it. The crackling turned out to be a couple of slices of roast Chines pork that had been heated up. Absolutely delicious. (they also do crackling rolls, salad rolls & chicken rolls). Chilli is a nice burner as well. We will definitely be (actually I have been back - twice) back. Its the only place in Canberra for a good Banh Mi on a great Long (Saigon) roll.
I also love meat pies - so on my first visit I got one to try. Good pastry, nice flavour (plain pie) & I'll have another one. They do different flavours. $3.50 for a pie - $6.90 for the Banh Mi. Great value. Highly recommend.

Approximate cost: $6.90
