Gold Star Bakery & Espresso

Talk about thinking of a unique point of difference to gain and retain customers. In the township of Blockhouse Bay I found just that at Gold Star Bakery.
Against one wall is an industrial grade coffee machine that pumps out the flat whites to have with your choice of bakery items.
The counters are filled with cream buns, muffins, cakes and sandwiches which all looked delicious.
The pie warmer was likewise well stocked with crispy flaky pastry pies.
As for the breads, I could choose from a big range of loaves and buns.
I think this is a great idea and a total time saver. In the time it took to get my coffee on the go I had ordered my bakery items and had a chance to chat to the salesperson.
Hate to think of the logistics when things get busy and a long line of customers are waiting though, I assume they have that covered with plenty of staff behind the counter.
