Mini Cake Izzy : Unfortunately we couldn't taste the pandan but overall tasted good. It would have been better to have more salted caramel to balance to sweetness of whole cake.
9/10<br/ <br/ 1) Upside Down Rhubarb Cake A butter cake moist from a sweet syrup and a little tart from the rhubarb<br/ <br/ 2) Cherry Coconut Galette The outer crust is really unique, almost hardened from a caramelised glaze and the sugar crust, definite try<br/ <br/ 3) Salted Honey Tart My favourite of the purchases, hint of ginger in the filling to take away from the sweetness and the outer crust was flakey but not crumbly, amazing<br/ <br/ 4) Ham cheese Snail The flavour was similar to a ham and cheese roll from bakers delight but the scroll itself was like a quality croissant<br/ <br/ 5) Fennel, capers foccacia Not quite a typical foccacia, more like a deep pan pizza without cheese but unique topping combos
An unassuming shop front that leads into an Oasis of deliciousness prettiness. Walking inside the long corridor, the savoury smells are so tempting. Then the temptation is taken over by your eyes as they lay on the huge range of beautiful, delectable looking cakes pastries. There are the named, tall cakes (Izzy and Hendra were both delicious) then there are the familiar cakes but with Saga's own spin which takes them to be extraordinary like the Vanilla slice with passionfruit jelly cream or the slightly boozy, very caramelised bread butter pudding. There is a standing area near where you pay its like.a bar but for caffeine instead of alcohol. Speaking of which the coffee was excellent using Artificer. Staff are friendly helpful.
I haven't actually been there, but it has been on my radar for a while, for both the incredible pastries, but also, their signature cakes. Now, cakes aren't normally something I go for, but these ... these are special. More on that soon. Saga is relatively new, opened only in 2017, by the pastry chef, Andy Bowden (Bowdy), and his partner, Maddison, after he left his famed post at Hartsyard, which is when I first heard of him.
Have been wanting to try this place for a while, so was happy to get a table. All of the cakes looked beautiful, so it was hard to only just choose one. My favourite was the vanilla slice with passionfruit. I also tried all of the 'tall ' cakes plus the choux bun. There were lots of other fresh pastries that I 'll have to try another time. This venue also serves light meals as well if you want something savoury. Coffees and drinks were good. Overall service staff were friendly and the cakes were reasonably priced, so will definelty be back!
