The Rolling Pin Bakery and Patisserie Semaphore

Dropped in for a sneaky coffee and treat while out on my early morning walk. Pleasant surprise. Great coffee and ALL the pastries, cakes and slices made fresh (not out of the freezer like so many these days). I wish this place was closer to home!

I have tried this bakery a few times , it's ok but I have had luke warm pies , the chunky steak pie only has a few piece of meat and the rest is jell like gravy it's not full of mince & steak , doesn't have a large range to choose from . One day at lunch time they didn't even have any pasties ready , they said come back in 10 or so minutes.

This is a good little cafe, but works best for me as a quick source of takeaway pie, coffee and yummy tart when I am in a hurry to get some food and keep moving. Lovely owners.

Fantastic little bakery - not a huge selection but what they have is top quality. The quiches, tarts and cheesecakes are particularly good - this has become the place I go to when buying something to take to a friend's place.

Friendly young staff, everything is delish. I would be happy to lunch or brunch there every day (instead of every second day). Plus they have a great selection of rolling pins. They have a vegan kransky and they're not afraid to serve it. Their soy chai latte is excellent. Pins, as we call it locally, is a welcome addition to Semaphore's cafe society.
