Divine Patisserie

I don’t like to leave bad reviews, but this place was genuinely appalling. It made me extremely sick all afternoon and night. Minimal gluten free options, no dairy free options, dietary restrictions key is confusing (gf for gluten free, g for contains gluten etc). Staff was largely inattentive and not very helpful most of the time. VERY overpriced, especially for gluten free food (GF pasta $29, regular pasta $24 (ish)). I ordered a smoothie (which was basically just watered down yogurt) and they checked it all for me. This was the only positive thing. From there, my friend got a burger which she could barely chew it was so over cooked. The chips looked good, but were in a shared frier. We all got dessert after that. There were five gluten free options, none of them were dairy free and half of them had nuts. I ordered a white chocolate and cherry cake, which was genuinely one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever eaten. It tasted how it looked: grey. I also got a gluten free shortbread cookie and a raspberry cheesecake to takeaway. The cookie was what made me sick. They had little easter eggs on it which, since it said it was gluten free, I assumed would be safe. Cut to a few hours later, it was not. While the front of house staff seemed to understand coeliacs and had the cookie seperate from everything else and individually wrapped, as well as using clean tongs to get my cheesecake out (only on request), the kitchen clearly doesn’t. I decided it was wiser not to eat the cheesecake and gave it to my family. Serving sizes are minuscule and ridiculously priced. The raspberry cheesecake was $12 for a 5x5cm square of cake that I was told was practically flavourless. The cherry cake was $10. The cookie was $5. Do NOT eat here, please.
