First, I just want to bag out all the pretentious Newtonians who say that Black Star Pastry has sold out, is too commercial now and doesn’t belong in Newtown. Shut up. Only great things ever get the chance to sell out. What they do, they do amazingly, and have done it consistently in their many locations (which is more than I can say for Bourke Street Bakery). Going big is not always bad as long as standards are maintained, and my goodness is that a high standard at Black Star Pastry. Each morsel is a delicacy. I love the creativity that’s poured into their cakes and overflows into the rest of their baked goods. I love the fresh and inventive flavour combinations. And their coffee is right up there to match. Everything is delivered with complete professionalism, and looks like a work of art. What more could you possibly want? They can sell out as much as they like and I’ll just keep on buying.
