Sugar & Spice Patisserie

Sugar and spice? Nothing nice. Got a large coffee from there last week. Coffee was very weak, burnt and they forgot to add the sugar ironically. I just pored it out.
I don’t know what there food is like but one of the worse coffees I’ve had to date.

We stopped for a quick bite to eat at Sugar & Spice after fighting our way through the pre-​Christmas shopping crowds, and I chose this deceptively small (as most of their sweet items are) custard and nut tart. The pastry /​choc /​nut combo was quite decadent, and the custard had a nice orange-​y tang to it which meant bonus points from me.
I had a hot chocolate to drink which was okay — I would recommend avoiding the coffee which was really bad on my last visit.

Great espresso/​ok Latte.
Grabbed a couple takeaways to keep the energy up. They use 5 Senses and know how to treat it.
My espresso was syrupy & delicious. My wife’s latte was a hot and a bit watery. So may need some training on the milk steamer.
My son inhaled his babycino without drawing breath.
Service was pretty quick. I will be back next time I need a caffeine hit in Lakeside Joondalup.

Salted caramel cheesecake… What a let down. Tiny size for the price plus two thirds of it was disgusting runny caramel that tasted very artificial and as soon as the plastic film was remove it covered everything. As for the cheesecake part, the little there was of it, tasted grossly of artificial orange which was weird to eat with the caramel. Also the gelatine was not incorporated properly, it felt like rice noodle cheesecake.
The coffee was fine though…

Have to agree with a couple of reviews here.
extremely poor service. Yet food is generally ok. Funny how service can make or break a place.
I’ve come here a number of times to grab a quick takeaway lunch.
On one occassion I actually had to leave due to the chaos of trying to get served and on the other occassions I found myself patiently waiting a minimum of 20min to order a pre-​made sandwhich.
On this particular day, there wasnt a large cue and only one staff member was serving during lunch hour. The other staff memeber was around, but was in no real rush to serve others waiting.
No one ever addressed me during the 20min of waiting, and no one apologies for the outrageous wait. At 12pm there were only 1 or 2 savoury rolls and wraps to choose from. Once they’re sold out, they don’t make any more so I feel they’re cheating themselfs out of some good money here… the lady next to me walked out once she heard that I’d ordered the last salad roll.
This place is just generally dissapointing and the vibe is lazy… so I have made the decision today that I won’t be back again.

Terrible cake for my friends baby shower nothing like she showed you and the writing looked like a two year old did it was literally a white cake with writing when she wanted colour and little feet

I had a taste of the Quiche and it was good with creamy filling and crusty pastry. The Cheese Stick though was not crunchy enough for my liking, slightly doughy and did not have enough cheese taste to it. I like them strong.
The Apple Pie comes with short crust base filled with a mix of fresh apples and sultanas. Check out the big chunks of apple pieces! I’m normally not a big fan of Apple Pie but I had a few mouthful of this!
The Orgasm is one of their more popular selection (as told by the staff). I chose this over the Death by Chocolate cake, Whoopie Pie, Banofee Pie and Strawberry Tart. Sigh, it was a hard choice! The Orgasm is white chocolate custard baked in a shortcrust case. It’s another version of the crème brûlée, with a soft texture and not too sickly sweet. I like!
It was worth the trip to Sugar & Spice to try the dessert. I must say the staff are very friendly and helpful, taking time to explain each of the dessert to us. I wish I live nearer so I can visit this café more often!

Delightful food, poor service.
Went with a group of six people, despite saying FIVE TIMES that we were ordering and paying as a group, the staff took about 15 minutes to take orders for coffee and a cake each. Including writing each individual coffee down on an individual piece of paper, taking it to the coffee machine, then dawdling back to the counter. Then individually getting each cake order ready after each person said it. We were the only people ordering too. Which is probably just as well. OMG.
After all that pain, the coffees were brought out to our table, and the waitress didn’t know what type of coffees they were then rolled her eyes when we asked which was which! On the brightside, the coffee came out quickly, as well as being hot and with a nice flavour. Rare in Perth. I ate the lemon meringue pie, and it was delicious. The meringue on top was perfectly crunchy on the outside, soft and gooey on the inside. The lemon part had a nice amount of tang. I also have previously had a macaron from here before and it was so gorgeous I often still think about it.
If you love your pastries and sweets, or want to order a spectacular birthday cake and make someone’s day, I’d recommend this place, but only if you’re a very patient person =)

Regardless of their bakery of the year 2010 award they provided an abysmal service. I waited over 20 minutes for a cup of coffee and had to leave before I got it. $ 3.70 down the drain. What a waste of time! VERY DISAPPOINTING. What made matters worse was new patron’s faces appearing and getting served before me… The place is dog friendly if you’re a dog lover. There were plenty of dogs sniffing and growling at each other in the outdoor setting.
This place is ULTRA HIGH END expensive considering I got nothing from them. I want 25 minutes of my life back thanks!

If you want a birthday cake to impress or love old fashioned pastries and treats this is THE place in Perth. There is a reason why it won Bakery of the Year 2010 for all of Australia. They do have savoury options, such as foccacia, sandwiches, quiches and pies, all look great, but I must confess I have never tried them. This is the place for those who like it sweet.
This place is popular and gets busy, the staff seem to be out the back, a lot. Not sure what they are doing — maybe stuffing their faces with cake? I know I would if I worked there. But be patient, the wait is worth it.
I just wish they would open on a Sunday.

Absolutely devineeee! Don’t you hate trying to buy presents for people and need something that will have their eyes rolling back in their head because they are so blown away, well Sugar and Spice in the answer, and the effects are possibly dangerous: be warned that buying a birthday cake for a girlfriend may result in sugar rash if they lock themselves in their room and indulge until they are sick (I joke!) but in all honesty don’t be surprised if they are not willing to share.

I have a serious sweet tooth, and I have found a fix. Sugar and Spice has an amazing range of beautiful cakes and pastries. All made with love and taste like heaven! I can honestly say to you that this little store brightens up my day, when I am lucky enough to go.
The one tiny problem for me is the amount of staff working, either there isnt enough or they need to learn how to serve. It was a bit better yesterday when i went in as it was ²³⁄₁₂ so they had more staff on and I was served quicker, even with the massive amounts of people picking up christmas cakes!

Sugar and Spice is a hidden delight in Joondalup, located a short drive away from the shopping centre. Like its name suggests, the patisserie is focused on cakes and other sugary delights, and there are some wonderful creations on display. There are teacup-​shaped cakes, as well as indulgent traditional slices for sale.
The cakes are a wonder to eat — it is no surprise that Sugar and Spice won a national award for their creations. The cream is light and fluffy, the chocolate is rich without being overly sweet, and each creation is made in just the right portions.
Aside from their sweets menu, they also do a great quiche.
Sugar and Spice is regularly busy, so the service tends to be on the slow side. The staff are friendly, if somewhat overstretched.
Sugar and Spice is a fantastic patisserie that is worth visiting for those with a sweet tooth.

I remember the days when I wasn’t addicted to Sugar and Spice Patisserie.
It was a simpler time when I always had cash in my wallet and I was a few kilos lighter. But oh man, is it worth it. I had always walked by and not taken any notice until one day when I walked in and was met with a cabinet full of mouth-​wateringly delectable treats. As a sucker for a good lemon tart, naturally that was my first choice. And from that day on I have decalared myself a sugar and spice addict.
The only thing that lets this place down is the service. You stand there waiting for some help while the occassional waitress flounces past and takes no notice. For a place with such inviting treats, you’d expect the staff to be just as warm.
Nonetheless, it is worth the trip to the nothern-​most reaches of Perth to try one of these heavenly delights from the winner of the 2010 Best Bakery Award (that’s Australia wide, baby. Suck it Melbourne and Sydney. WE ROCK!).
