Polish Rye Crust Bakery, Dandenong by Bureaucrat

Following lunch at Gibe African Restaurant, we all couldn't help but spot Polish Rye Crust Bakery which is located on the other side of the road (you just gotta love the ethnic melting pot that is Dandenong!).  As full as we were, there's always room for a little dessert.


For the four of us, we picked three slices of cheesecake to takeaway.  First up was the classic baked vanilla cheesecake.  Given that I prefer my cheesecakes to be the mousse-y, gelatin-based types, I'm not much of the connoisseur when it comes to the baked variety.  However, the texture here was typical of a baked cheesecake - that is, kinda dense, kinda claggy.  It wasn't too sweet and I liked the fact that the crumb crust was a thin layer.


Of the three, I preferred the sour cherry cheesecake.  The squidgy, tart cherries was a nice accent to the otherwise 'background' flavour of the vanilla cheesecake.


The poppy seed cheesecake tasted very similar to the vanilla cheesecake.


The Polish Rye Crust Bakery does a brisk trade among the local residents and workers.  There's a fairly impressive range of small goods and dine-in menu options (see Big Fil's review).

Verdict

We liked it.

Overall

The cheesecakes were well made if you like the baked variety.  Beaker really liked them, as did my parents.  However, I'd be more interested in going back to try their dine-in options.
