My Little Bakehouse
(Cairns QLD)
Sept 2024
After visiting Bushman’s 🥧’s I jumped in the car and made my way to the next review. I didn’t have to travel that far, just a short drive to the Cairns CBD. It was there I met up with Sean from My Little Bakehouse Cairns.
My Little Bakehouse is located in Grafton Street and current owner Sean has been at this location for just over 12 months. This legend has been around the baking game for over 21 years and these days passes on his knowledge and passion to over 15 staff in his business.
From the moment you walk into the bakery your greeted with absolute class. I absolutely loved the signage, the bright colors, the cabinet display and the food looked amazing. Every single item sold in this bakery is made from scratch products. Everywhere I looked there was freshly baked products so I was super keen to get this review started.
An easy choice this week !!! As I pulled up out the front a got chatting to a couple of locals and both strongly insisted, I took the “cheese and bacon 🥧” for a test run. Both lads said “This was their regular go to 🥧 and in their opinion couldn’t be faulted. So with that in mind my decision came a very easy one.
🥧 THE REVIEW 🥧
1. Value for Money – Yes $9
is certainly up there. You certainly couldn’t put a cheese and bacon 🥧 into a gourmet range category. Although the depth wasn’t massive, the diameter was more than acceptable. I took into account the Cairns tourist location but still nine bucks is up there. 6/10
2. Meat/Fill Ratio – Totally full and at $9 you would expect it to be. Not one drop more could have been squeezed in 10/10
3. Flavour – Excellent !! Every ingredient was clearly evident and could be tasted every with bite. The melted cheese was the exact right amount and the meat was cooked beautifully. The only small negative was the flavour was a smidge too salty and that could have been the bacon. Overall from that flavor was really really good, great job guys. 9/10
4. Pastry – The pastry looked terrific and it tasted the same way. Both bakes were a touch under done, but the thicknesses were spot on. Great color, stability and shape to top it all off. Awesome job 8.5/50
5. Serving Temperature – Perfect serving temp, no issues 10/10
Overall Rating
🥧🥧 43.5/50 🥧🥧
In my opinion, apart from the $9 price tag, this was a really nice 🥧. The pastry was beautiful and had a really nice taste to it. The color, the stability, the shape was all perfect. Both bakes were a touch underdone while the thicknesses were on point. There wasn’t much wrong with the flavour either maybe a little too salty and that could have been the bacon, but apart from that the overall flavour was excellent. Sean and the team have done a great job with this one, awesome product guys.
If your around the Cairns CBD this place is definitely worth checking out. The place is spotless, the food is amazing and there is plenty of seating to sit and relax, 100% worth checking out.
A massive thanks to Sean and the crew for having me in. Sean is one of the nicest fellas you’ve ever met and what he’s done with this shop in the short amount of time is quite incredible. Everyone who has run their own business would fully understand how difficult it is particularly in a new location whilst trying to build the business, brand and get your name out there and Sean has done a sterling job.
