Black Star Pastry Newtown

We walked in the shop where is just located at opposite side of train station. We aimed at the signature Strawberry Watermelon Cake, so didn't ordered the coffee. The cake was really freshy and in perfect textual even with juicy fruit. We also ordered Zen Cheesecake. To us, we would highly recommend Zen Cheesecake which was surprisingly tasty, as it served with great balance between cheese and sesame favours. There were only few seats, takeaway may be a good choice.

Located at 1/325 King Street, Newtown, New South Wales, Australia 🇦🇺 I originally came here for the signature Strawberry Watermelon Cake and it did not disappoint! I absolutely loved 🥰 it! Over my repeated visits to sample a lot more of the cakes and pastries and I have loved them all. From the Pistachio Cake, Mango Yuzu Cake, Lime Forest Cake, Dragon Fruit Cake - they are all phenomenal. Even the delicious croissants. The staff are friendly and helpful, always willing to help in any way. I would like more tables and chairs, not just the high chairs near the windows. Not great for short people like me. Hard to get into. The cakes, I feel are quite expensive but the taste made up for that. I come here, whenever I make it to Newtown and I always look forward to it. Would definitely recommend. Thumbs Up from me!! 👍👍😋

Yes the watermelon cake is awesome !! 100% awesome and hands 🙌 up !! But before the portion was decent and the price too !! Now it’s $11 for a small tiny sample !! You kidding me !!? Why !! Some shops now makes an imitation of it and it tastes as good, bigger and cheaper !! Why are you being greedy !! We are in business too and we know cost of goods are high, labour and rent !! Etc etc !! But $11 for that tiny little cake is an absolute day time robbery

Absolutely love Black Star Pastry. Lots of interesting flavour combinations and a cute little spot. Tried the Lemon Origami Cake - layers of lemon, pistachio and white chocolate topped with a white chocolate origami crane. Really delicious and fantastic presntation. Service is fantastic too, definitely worth checking out if you like tasty pastry.

I love the cakes here, especially the strawberry watermelon one. It would be perfect if the staff were a bit friendlier 🥴

They have pretty colorful selection of cakes at the display counter which caught my eyes instantly. Wish that I’d have all of them. I decided to go for their signature strawberry watermelon cake and the lemon pistachio cake. Both of the cakes were pretty good in terms of the flavor and texture. Not overly sweet and I enjoyed every bit of them. Would love to come back again to try other cakes!

This little pastry shop is so cute 😍, the plates, the cups, the takeaway packaging and etc. are all very unique, like the design. We arrived just before 11 am on Saturday, the restaurant was not very busy, the staff were friendly, helpful, and patient. The watermelon cake is yummy as always, not watery, and tastes fresh.

Just had my second coffee of the day! Tried the Strawberry Watermelon Cake and Zen (black sesame) Cheesecake - both were amazing. And you know St. Ali's coffee never lets me down; it's one of my go-tos. The vibe here is so chill and cozy, and the staff are really friendly. Can't wait to hang out here again soon!
