Bononia

Visited this morning and bought a small coffee and strawberry tart. The tart is clearly around 2 days old. Strawberries are dry and floppy, the pastry is rubbery and stuck to the base plate and the custard is dried out. At $11 for a small lukewarm coffee and inedible pastry, you'd expect a little better. I would've thought businesses would be pushing to invite new customers & keep their current base with great produce and service. You have an opportunity to be the best (and only) Boulangerie on Melbourne St, don't ruin the opportunity.

We went to this location with really high hopes based on the reviews. We were intending to have a brunch there. When we arrived it was clearly to late at 11am, the outdoor tables were still covered in the leftovers from other visitors, the stock was pretty decimated and to say that the staff were disinterested would be a massive understatement, they didn't even look up from their phones when we walked in, talked amongst themselves whilst we were ordering the last of the croissants and went straight back to their phones when we were paying. The bread and the croissants were amazing and we'll definitely buy more.
