Absolutely incredible pies - had the chunky steak and it was as close to perfect as you'll get!
Just discovered this unassuming cafe. Pass this every morning on my way into work Coffee is delicious Cannoli, excellent ๐ Sausage rolls, fabulous Cottage pie, to die for. Can't wait to slowly eat my way through their pastries.... it will take some time ๐
Wonโt be buying the carrot cake again. I donโt think it was freshly made for the day though I asked the lady and she said itโs fresh. Do check with whoever the supplier is. Not worth $6.50 for this . The cream was good though . Edit: received response saying that it is indeed โfresh โ and seems like they intend to say problem is mine? Would like to get more explanation on this. Is it sourced from somewhere like other cafes? If yes, How do you know when it was baked? Freshly baked from scratch or like some cafes have, heating the pre made cakes . So what is your definition of โfresh โ ? The cake was crumbly and smelled of oil .
Best PIE & pastries in the Brisbane CBD ๐ Don't roll up on this place fangin for a feed, because you'll end up buying with your eyes and not your belly . I bought the chunky beef, mince & cheese, and the jumbo sausage roll ....Golly ๐ Fact: Even though yatala pies are meh at best, their sausage rolls are absolutely incredible, and still No1 on my scale ๐ Anyway, back on Lena's Bakehouse. Beautiful meaty chunky steak pie, with great short crust & flaky pastry, the perfect amount of gravy and not filled with gelatine like most . The mince and cheese was meh... maybe a 6 out of 10, but only because the cheese tasted like it was the canned type - fake # Ya got my Cheese Whiz boy ? The giant sausage roll was delicious , again great pastry and finely ground mince, the flavour was bang on the money. I can always tell when I've eaten a B grade savoury pastry as it repeats on me after about an hour , the age doesn't help . But with these pastries I didnt get the burn from excessive use of garlic and onion, so definitely a quality pie ๐๐
Placed an order for next day collection over the phone which was very easy. The lady was super friendly and patient with all the questions I had. Lovely customer service in store as well. Orderer normal sausage rolls plus spinach and feta ones which everyone loved. Didn't get to try anything else but will definitely come back again ๐
