Coffee panacotta
Chocolate eclair
Last Sunday morning, before the sickness that has plagued me all week set in, I visited Pasticceria Papa for morning tea with a friend. I had all intentions of eating healthy but upon being confronted with a vast display of fresh cakes and pastries, I was never going to be able to refrain my sweet tooth.
The Italian patisserie offers everything you can think of; cannoli, cornettos, custard donuts, ricotta tarts and vanilla slice being some of the offerings. And everything was so cheap! My gorgeous panacotta, which was so finely decorated and had a lovely coffee crumb amid the velvety custard, cost a mere $6. My friend's eclair was $2.50!
Apart from the display cabinet, the decor itself is a bit dull, as is with most cafes and patisseries of its size. I guess such places worry not so much about decoration as having enough seats for the swarms of people that visit each day.
The service was prompt but not very friendly. Again, the waitstaff were kept on their feet by the hungry Sunday morning crowds.
Anyway, if you love Italian desserts this is definitely the place to go. The coffee is also decent and they serve gelato, if that's what tickles your fancy.
