A tiny frontage can be deceiving. On the hunt for a coffee place to catch up with a mate we stumbled into Pastizzi to get away from the cold. We were welcomed warmly and our orders taken promptly. It was then that I realised that this place was one a friend had recommended me a while back.
Aside from the extremely friendly staff (our waitress even apologised for a couple of crumbs on our table that we ourselves hadn't noticed and promptly cleaned them up!), this cafe is home to the pastizzi, a savoury or sweet though totally delicious pastry that can be filled with anything from peas and salmon to cherry and chocolate.
Why had my friend recommended this place to me? Because being a homebody with a obsession with baked goods, she thought the fact that you can purchased these pastizzis by the dozen, frozen to pop into the oven at my own whim would take my fancy. It did. As did the pastizzis themselves which were delightful and at $2 a pop not too pricey. Which also goes for the coffee - each regular we purchased was only $2.60 something quite rare for the area - especially when you take into account that I drink soy milk.
