The Fabulous Baker Boy - 28 Aliwal St

Loved the cakes here. I like the overall feel of the place. The display of the yummy cakes is so inviting. A piece of cake and a cup of coffee, it's a good way to spend some time with friends.

I've always loved the movie, so when I found out about this cafe, I just had to check it out! We were greeted by the friendly Juanda (I think that's how it's spelled); he told me that the huge Moose head deco was handmade by him and his partner! The cafe has a quirky charm (check out the name of the pink cake!) that's laid back and cosy. The breakfast plate was huge, and we both could not finish. They very nicely packed the rest for us, right down to the sourdough bread, which I love. If you're around the area, this is certainly a nice place to chill out and relax, whether it's over a cuppa, pastry or meal.

Love their cakes. Best carrot cake in town. Valrohna choc cake also yummy. Set lunch limited choices and would not come back for the chili crab meat Mac and cheese. Fish & chip a good deal. Other 2 pasta choices weren’t appealing to me (prawn pasta and laksa pesto). Wishing that they offer more cake & coffee deals all day long.

Really really looked forward to trying the fried chicken here with my friends, after seeing all the other patrons with the delicious-looking chicken and waffles. Not sure if we were unlucky or the chef has changed, but nothing was good (except for the cakes of course) this visit. Fried cauliflower and shiitake mushrooms were cold in the center, tomato soup was luke warm, and the chicken overfried and dry. I haven't had a drier chicken drumstick before. Taste-wise I could not taste the marinade at all. All in all a disappointment and I felt regretful about recommending this to my friends and asking them to come.

Had a great time here - I personally loved the weekday set lunch, it was delicious and value for money! The set lunch also comes with beverages and signature cakes - which were really good and not to mention pretty huge as well for a cake slice. The staff was friendly and welcoming, paired with a lovely and laidback ambience, made our afternoon a lovely one. :) Would definitely come back again to try other dishes and cakes.

Overall the ambience is nice. We were here to try the cakes. Their cakes are more dense, we actually prefer more spongy ones. Ordered the Earl Grey and the Belgian Chocolate. Belgian Chocolate taste better as Earl Grey tasted more of a fruit cake.

Shared a delicious coconut, vanilla and French butter sponge cake with a friend of mine at this fantastic bakery! They had a wide variety of freshly made cakes, knowledgeable staff, quick service and aircon. Felt luxurious in a casual way. The price tag was definitely worth it!

Great ambience & nice food. However, staff's lack of empathy dropped the standard. Had the waffle & chicken and BBQ beef sandwich. Waitress that took the order said to order via QR code but QR code failed the system but waitress insisted that maybe the customer is not tech savvy and tried to do it but still failed. Took the order on paper and left disappointed. We asked for a bigger table but was refused on base that restaurant is fully reserved. Unfortunately for them, 3 more groups came in with available tables which were (so called) reserved. Waiting time for food was average but as predicted table was crammed up with food. Waffle & chicken was nice but BBQ beef sandwich was slightly burnt, but was ok. Overall price with service charge and ambience think they could perform better. Picture below shows the crammed up table & another table with guest on laptop. Maybe we should have brought in laptops to be able to get bigger table.
