Aviv Cakes And Bagels - Elsternwick

The baked cheesecake is absolutely delightful! It has a wonderfully light and fluffy texture, avoiding that heavy sweetness that I personally prefer. It reminds me of Japanese cheesecakes like Uncle Tetsu, though it's not quite as airy as those.

The ultimate in comfort food, Aviv Cakes and Bagels has a delectable range of beautiful pastries and breads in their window to lure you into the store. The smell of bread and pastry is so delicious, and this large bakery has a lot to choose from. You can dine in, but we chose a few yummy pastries to take home. <br/ <br/ The raspberry frangipane tart was so soft and aromatic, with a beautiful thin and crispy pastry case. Similarly, the pastry on the caramel walnut tart was equally as good. The nutty filling was simply amazing. My favourite however, was the poppy seed horseshoe pastry. Something different to my usual choices, this pastry was divine. The abundance of poppy seeds gave it a nutty flavour, and it was a moist and flavoursome filling inside the divine pastry. <br/ <br/ Aviv gets very busy, but the staff are friendly and helpful and service didn't feel rushed at all. The prices are quite reasonable, making this a lovely bakery to stop by for a sweet or savoury treat. I can't wait to return to try their amazing looking bagels.

This bakery in Glen Huntly has the best cakes and cookies! I adore everything about it. Life is too short to turn down cake, and the coffee cake here is absolutely delicious. Coffee cakes are truly the best! There’s a variety of cookies—some are filled with jam, some are chocolaty, and others are so soft they melt in your mouth like cotton. All of these delightful treats are freshly baked, so I highly recommend stopping by. I can’t get enough of these goodies, and even if I gain a few pounds, I won't regret it because they are simply incredible. Everything about this bakery is fantastic!

Absolutely the BEST!!! There’s nothing more to say. If you haven’t visited Aviv Cakes and Bagels yet, you definitely should!

Bagels and pastries are absolutely amazing. Always packed...because it’s that good. The cheese danish is my personal favorite, but the pear and chocolate cake is also amazing.
