Flour And Stone

I do like this place. I think generally speaking all their baked goods are pretty good.
Initially my fav was the panacotta lamington but I think they are all good.
It’s a cute place with friendly staff. At the end of the day u may get to take home some of the leftovers. I find that considerate. Pains me when I see food thrown in the bin at the end of the day.
Coffee and hot choc vary depending on who makes it, and the coffee has a very earthy Flavour to me.
I like this place.

When I went to Australia I knew I wanted to try a lamington, a traditional Australian cake with chocolate, coconut, and a raspberry filling. I heard that Flour and Stone is a good bakery so I decided to stop here for one. It’s a small café tucked away on a side street near the Australian Museum and St. Mary’s Cathedral. The staff of course is super friendly and they have a nice selection of savory items in addition to sweets. I tried their chicken, leek and tarragon pie and it was delicious! However they don’t have the same items everyday. When I asked to try another pie that was on the menu they said they didn’t have it that day. Anyway, back to the lamington– the reason I’m giving this place a five star review! It was an awesome cake! Super moist with just the right amount of raspberry, chocolate, and coconut (I think there might have been a bit of cream in the center too)! It even comes in this super cute little box that is especially made for the lamingtons. Anyway, if you’re ever in Sydney this place is a must!

Small place huge on flavour! Every bite a sensation for the tastebuds! Staff are laid back cool matching the music! Flour and Stone is food for your soul!

The panna Cotta lamington was yummy!!! Sponge cake w panna cotta and jam coated with chocolate and coconut ! Who wouldn’t love that !!! A must try in Sydney!

What a pleasant little place. I walked in twice durning my trip here in Sydney. The first time I purchased a mocha and the second time I purchased a sausage roll. The mocha was small but satisfying and the sausage roll was filling. On my birthday my friend surprised me with an Australian dessert called Lamington. Lamington is a sponge cake with a raspberry filling. The cake is dipped in chocolate and covered with coconut shavings. An absolute must try.

After reading multiple positive reviews from various sources, Flour & Stone had been on my wishlist for quite sometime.
When I finally got to try it earlier in the week, I was hopeful.
Meh.
Wish I agree with the other Unilocalers but I dont.
Dont get me wrong, the pastries I tried were good. There just wasnt a «wow» factor… if you know what i mean.
Zucchini, chilli and gruyère bun ($ 3.50): Interesting flavor combination, especially with the mild hint of chilli but not overpowering. Pretty good when toasted. It was just *a little* too dry for my tastebud.
Hazelnut torte ($ 5.50): Pretty good. I like the hazelnut on top, giving texture to the torte
Lemon tart ($ 4.50): Not spectacular, average.
The guys working there were very nice and patient with me as I had difficulty picking what I want. (luckily there were not other customers!)
I will go again if I happen to pass by… but if not, I would not be making a special trip to Flour and Stone again. *sorry fans*

Actually going there is not convenient for me, I have to across the whole Botanic Garden and take 20 minutes walk. However, the recommendation of my picky friend attracted me. The shop is very small and located in the quiet street, no big sign outside but you cannot miss it because there are no other shops around it. The atmosphere inside is lovely, everything is cute, the ginger biscuit has so many shapes and packed for different topic. I order lemon tarts and shared with colleague when I am back in office. We all shocked for this delicious. The start skin is very fragile, even can’t hold it for long. Lemon filling is sour but just alright, fresh smell and smooth texture. I would go there again to try more~

What can I say? I’d move to Sydney just for this bakery.
I have never been more wow’d by a bakery like I have for Flour and Stone. I’ve tried a range of their stuff and I wish I had more. That salted caramel tart had me going mental!
The lemon drizzle cake I had? I would have bought 30 if I had known they were that good. Alas I was already back in Adelaide by the time I bought it. Speaking of which, their goodies travel well. Buy loads as gifts!
The ladies who work at the bakery are also sweethearts. Not stingy at all with their baking advice, they dished it out to anybody who asks! If you mention to them that their goodies will be travelling, they will pack it up extra securely. Our precious cargo made it to Adelaide fine! Except for the lamington that got devoured on the plane. Ahem. The décor is cute and their portions generous.
I really, really wish I lived in Sydney just for them!

Hard to find and even harder to leave without an armful of delicious treats. I’m slowly eating my way through the array of handmade baked goodies. From possibly the best lamingtons I have ever tasted, to slab cakes and even nougat, this tiny shop hidden away is a real find!
