Bond Bond's Bakery - Victoria

I've been popping in periodically over the last few years to purchase treats for work this is a great little bakery with lovely staff. Their snickerdoodles are the best in the city, IMO, and their ginger cookies are consistently excellent as well. I recently discovered their cheese onion scone, and will definitely be back for those!

Most things I've bought here have been satisfactory, however it's quite average considering the prices. I used to come here several times a week for a croissant and a cookie, but sometime around 5 years ago the croissant recipe changed and ever since the croissants have been awful, tasteless, rubbery, not much crunch. I come back every once in a while to try it again, but nope, this is one of the worst croissants around. My last visit I opted to get an americano with my order and the moment I walked outside, the lid leaked hot burning coffee all over my hand, and this is also not the first time this has happened to me! So yeah, that's why I'm making this review, you really need to do better. These aren't new problems, and if I pay $10 (after tax and tip) for croissant and coffee, I want a good croissant and a good coffee that doesn't leak all over me like I bought it from a roadside gas station!!

Cheese buns are delicious. The chocolate croissant was okay but it was light on the chocolate.

I recently bought buns made by this bakery and they were fantastic but today I bought a loaf of sprouted grain bread for $5.75 and it was hollow for 3/4 of the loaf. Good luck making a sandwich or even trying to butter it

Owner is very cheap, underpays staff, skimpy on ingredients etc
