Providore is a great place to stop and get your sweet fix. Their selection of cakes, desserts, ice cream and tarts are superb. They have whole cakes and tart to buy or you can also get a slice to satisfy your sugar needs. So tasty and homely, I love their lemon tart. Prices are fair and you can eat there or take away. Only problem is what do you choose!
Hovered around the counter for a long while trying to choose from the wide variety of cakes and pastries on offer. In the end I got a Greek Vanilla Slice and also a Portuguese custard tart. Sat at one of the market tables and made my way through the vanilla slice which was accompanied with a latte from the nearby Zuma Cafe. The slice was fresh with delicate, fluffy pastry and a lovely creamy custard filling. Really enjoyed this. The tart was saved for later, it was also delicious.
I can't get enough of Providore. Long ago, I used to work in the deli at Coles. When I had a late shift on a Friday night, my parents would pick me up and they would buy me a rocky road muffin. I always looked forward to it.<br/ <br/ Fast forward a few years. I visit Providore as often as I'm in town, and the Central Markets are open. It tends to be every trip. I recently had the apple baked cheesecake. It was amazing rich, decadent, creamy and full of flavour. Everything a baked cheesecake should be. Check this place out, the range of cakes is overwhelming, but you'll certainly be pleased with whatever you happen to choose.<br/ <br/ My mum likes buying their whole cakes for birthdays. The prices are fair and the cakes are amazing.
I've only had Portuguese tarts from maybe 20 different places, but these ones are by far the worst I've ever had. Funnily enough, this place is my regular for Portuguese tarts as they are usually excellent. This is my first time buying on a Wednesday and I suspect it was very stale/hard stock from the previous Saturday. Edit: I spoke to the staff and they gave me a full refund and explained that they were delivered the previous day.
