About Black Star Pastry Rosebery
Black Star Pastry in Rosebery is the branch a customer has headed to when they want the famous Strawberry Watermelon Cake without a trip into the city. The business has been going since 2008, which speaks to its staying power in Sydney. We hear the cake still lives up to its name: light, refreshing and just as good as the first one a customer had years ago. It's also available as a custom or celebration cake, and one local ordered a birthday version that made the day feel properly special.
The display cabinet is the main event. Locals say you'll stand there a while deciding because everything looks so good, and the flavours go well beyond the headline cake. The lychee cake, the chocolate and kataifi creation, and a grape cake with jasmine notes that isn't too sweet are standouts on the menu. One customer has found the pastries among the most inventive they've had. The savoury side gets a mention too, with pies, sausage rolls and toasties on offer, though the word is that the desserts are the stars and the savoury items play the supporting role.
Coffee is a real part of the visit, with St Ali beans and an iced latte available. You can dine in, take away or have orders delivered, and there's free street parking nearby plus a wheelchair-accessible entrance and toilet.
A few locals find it a little pricey, one felt the flavours didn't quite match how beautiful everything looks, and the odd person has had a less-than-warm moment at the counter. Most, though, describe friendly, accommodating staff. A weekday lunchtime visit can mean a slimmer selection than the weekend, so go earlier or on a weekend for the full range. Hours are posted daily, but check before you head in.
