If you haven't gone to Haberfield's renowned Pasticceria Papa, you haven't lived. As simple as that.
This patisserie is ah-maze-ing. There's so much to choose from, everything is just so cheap and the food (or the sweets) are just divine. I'm a bit behind on posts, and thus have forgotten the pricing of the above items but the gelato was deceptively large and came in at four dollars something, the jam donuts and cannoli at around the $2.50 mark and the gelato thickshake was five something dollars.
Everything was more than worth the price.
I had the vanilla cannoli and hazelnut gelato thickshake. If you haven't had one, I highly recommend said drink. The nutty flavours, the creaminess - oh oh oh. I had walked into the patisserie in search only of a delicious drink. I was trying to be "healthy" but, needless to say, I condemned myself to an impossible task given my location. This was the first time I had tried cannoli, it was so tasty, the vanilla custard velvety and delicious and contrasting excellently with the crisp pastry tube.
I also had some of my friend's strawberry gelato. He couldn't finish it. It had a very similar texture to sorbet and real fruit was easily identifiable in the flavour. He also had a jam donut (I brought one home for Nathan). Both were smitten.
My only wish: that I had heard of Pasticceria Papa's reputation for having a stunning baked ricotta cheesecake before I ventured out there. Next time!
