Pie In the Sky

Called here 2 days in a row. Coffee excellent, no surprise, vanilla slice on visit 1 perfect.on second visit I had just cycled up The Wall so needed sustenance so went for an award winning Aussie pie which was delicious and hit the hunger spot before my ride back down the mountain. There heating was off but that was a minor point.great spot.

I'm not sure where (or when?) the hype for this place comes from. How old are those awards? The pie was exceedingly poor, with lots of filler and gelatine - exactly the texture I hate about cheap pies, not what you'd expect from a pie demanding $7.50 of your hard-earned. And the pastry was really not overly good - certainly not very robust either. The Vanilla slice was merely... average, and the passion-fruit glaze was unwelcome on my palette when I'm buying a vanilla slice for a particular reason. Not a fan. Other people in my group had similar thoughts on their food choices, despite "gold medal" being emblazoned on many options... I seriously doubt that! I've visited many, many bakeries all over SA and Victoria, and in my experience this is well down the bottom of my list of worst bakery food. And for the price, probably the biggest rip-off of those. You can't charge premium prices AND cut costs: it will leave more than one bad taste in customers' mouths.
