Black Star Pastry

It's no wonder the line at this tiny Newtown establishment stretches out the door at any given time of day. The range, particularly the sweets, never disappoints, backing up stunning looks with utter deliciousness. The famous strawberry, watermelon and rosewater cake is particularly gorgeous to gaze at, and a marvel of flavours and textures. While rich chocolate and hazelnut torte, violet panna cotta, and bread-and-butter pudding all cause serious salivation, the legendary lamb shank pie, or a pork-and-beef sausage roll infused with lemon thyme, tarragon and parsley, satiate more savoury cravings.
