cafe: Freddie Strudels, Perth
We're organising printing of a running shirt. Exit the print shop -- and see a small cafe next door. Cafe? Coffee? Just what we need :-)
Strudels? This is a small, neat, modern cafe run by Asians. Three more Asians relaxing, snacking, by the front window. Strudels?! With us, the cafe is now half full. We order coffees and the smallest "cake", a custard horn or somesuch name.
Out back is the kitchen. We guess that that is the source of strudels and other traditional European delights. (Yes, Asian cook.) The cafe, we decide, is just to round out a food catering business.
Cheerful, friendly service. We are offered a free biscuit, fresh from the oven. Very nice. Our custard horn arrives.
It is delicious! Fresh crispy pastry, crumbles as we bite it. Aaahhhh... Mmmmm... Wow :-) Absolutely delicious.
We can buy a custard horn at our local fresh food market. A horn which tastes okay. A horn which is baked to be stored, delivered, displayed, eaten within a day or three. Designed to not shatter during delivery.
The Freddie custard horn is designed -- baked -- to be eaten soon. Within hours. Fresh, delicious, melt in the mouth delicious. Can I say it again? Delicious:-)
I hope that we will be back. It's nowhere near our usual haunts. We hope that we will be back. Perhaps to buy a Freddie actual Strudel. I'm already looking forward to it.
Three out of three: we enjoyed the visit, we hope to be back

22feb20: We go back.
This time, it's deliberate. We're looking for a coffee outing, we select Freddie Strudels. Drive past a couple of better-known names, they are too crowded and... we're just not interested.
Friendly and cheerful waiter. Coffee: strong, delicious. Shared apple strudel: absolutely delicious, crisp sweet pastry, just enough apple and custard(?) filling, yummm :-)
Still rated as 3 out of three: worth visiting again.
Oh, and they sell just a few jars of honey. An uncle's hobby, we're told. I buy a jar... rather expensive but... I'm always looking for crystallised honey, it stays on the bread. I doubt that it was deliberate, I buy the one jar of honey which has crystallised.
