Textbook Boulangerie Pattisserie offers delicious pastries, cakes and bread.
Located on busy Botany Road in Alexandria, its been open for close to a year now and has garnered a following after making its rounds on social media.
After having lunch at BOB, a pop up restaurant in Rosebery by Three Blue Ducks, we quickly drove down the road to to the patisserie to have dessert.
Arriving with minimal time before closing, most of the small cakes were sold out. With less than half an hour to go, we chose our cakes, got our coffees and scoffed everything down. We even got some cakes to take away. So greedy we are. How could one resist? The cakes are all so pretty.

The 'White Chocolate, Mango, Kaffir Lime & Coconut Cake (8.50)' tastes as good as it looks. I'm drawn by the Asian inspired flavours. Encased in a white chocolate mousse wall and filled with coconut dacquoise and layers of kaffir custard and mango jelly. A beautiful creamy dessert that's not too sweet.
The pastel green 'Apple Crumble Cake ($8.50)' is one of their most popular cakes for a reason. It's smooth, glossy and has amazing textures. The crumbly biscuit base and the apple custard mousse go so well together, with bits of poached cinnamon apple pieces hiding within.
'The Blueberry Cheesecake ($8.50)' looks aesthetically amazing with deep purple impressions. A picture perfect dome shaped cheesecake that is not too rich nor too heavy, balanced out by the thick biscuit base.
Texbook Patisserie have been releasing new croissant flavours every weekend that are strictly limited in quantities. Recent savoury flavours have included truffle and foie gras. Apparently you have to go early in the morning to grab one one these delicacies as they do sell out quickly.
Worth going to for a decent sweet fix if you are in the area.
