The Great Australian Bakery is located in Old Town Scottsdale. They offer savory and sweet Australian baked goods. This is a casual order at the counter place that's not big on fancy atmosphere but is fresh new and clean at the time of this review.
The savory baked goods are Pasty in vegetable or beef and are very large in size.
The medium size savory baked good is the house made sausage roll.
Smaller but enough are the pies that come in many varieties.
We sampled two pies and one sausage roll. I thought the Steak Curry Pie was delicious and it was my favorite but the steak was a tad chewy just like in the Steak Mushroom Pie. The Sausage in the Sausage Roll was tasty but a tad dry with it's grease released in the pastry.
My husband did a great job eating the food so I had room to try a dessert.
They didn't have all the desserts for sale that they posted on the menu board but they were selling three desserts on my visit.
They were offering a vanilla slice that looked very similar to a nepolian, apple turnovers and an Australian Dessert called a Lamingtons filled and unfilled.
I went with the Lamington unfilled. It was a DELICIOUS light spongy cake frosted with GOOD chocolate and dusted with coconut. The cake was excellent. It tasted like pound cake and angel food had a baby.
Good visit overall
Three stars is positive and means worth a try!
After all this might be the only Australian Eatery in Metro Phoenix so that means it's the BEST Australian Eatery in the Metro Phoenix Area.
