Bonnie's Bread - Saint Ives Australia

This a bakery located at Champlain Sqare that's located right across from Independent Grocer. They have a large variety of breads, cakes, pastries, and various other baked goods, all very reasonably priced. I had their Boston Cream Cake, Raspberry Cheesecake Slice, Chocolate Mousse Cake, Long John, Beef Sausage Roll, and Ham Cheese Croissant. The food was quite good; I particularly enjoyed their mousse cake and ham cheese croissant. This is a bakery that I'd recommend checking out.<br/ <br/ Boston Cream Cake $1.65):<br/ 3.5/5<br/ The cake was quite soft, tender and moist. I enjoyed the chocolate glaze on top that provided a nice bittersweet flavour. I do wish that there can be more of the custard filling.<br/ <br/ Raspberry Cheesecake Slice $1.95):<br/ 3/5<br/ The cake was quite light and soft. I did find it to be slightly bland on its own. The raspberry swirl provided some sweetness, although I do wish it would be a bit more tart.<br/ <br/ Chocolate Mousse Cake $3.65):<br/ 4/5<br/ The cake was very soft and moist. The mousses were smooth and light, and had a really nice flavour, while the layer of chocolate on top melted in my mouth and wasn't at all waxy.<br/ <br/ Long John $1.65):<br/ 3.5/5<br/ The donut was quite light and fluffy, with a slightly chewy texture. The chocolate glaze was not waxy and had a nice bittersweet chocolate flavour.<br/ <br/ Beef Sausage Roll $2.35):<br/ 3.5/5<br/ The crust outside was relatively flaky with a nice flavour. I quite enjoyed the sausage inside, which was tender and savoury.<br/ <br/ Ham and Cheese Croissant $2.35):<br/ 3.5/5<br/ The croissant itself was quite buttery. The cheese provided a great bit of richness while the ham provided a nice flavour.<br/ <br/ Summary:<br/ Food: 3.5/5<br/ Price: 4.5/5<br/ Service: N/A<br/ Overall: 4/5<br/ Recommendations: Chocolate Mousse Cake, Ham and Cheese Croissant

This has been a neighbourhood gem for as long as I can remember. Located inside Champlain Mall, Bonnie’s Bread has come to the neighbourhood’s go to for all things bread and pastries. They have only recently changed management and the menu seems to have been kept similar. . Here are some of the goodies I hauled on this trip to Bonnie’s Bread.
