Black Star Pastry Newtown

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!! 👍👍😋

It’s a chill cafe famous for its strawberry watermelon cake. The cake itself is tasty but the matcha latte very so-so. The staff serves politely and it’s not crowded. Few dine in seats available

The signature strawberry watermelon cake is refreshing at the right level of sweetness. It takes so much effort to make a beautiful cake. It is gluten free and I hope it can be both gluten fee and dairy free so that my boy can try it.

Very Delicious coffee. They use St Ali brand. They’re know for their watermelon cake. Must try! Conveniently located next to Newtown court.

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!

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.

First try was seven years ago and yes, they are famous for watermelon cake.🍉 Even the price gets higher and the size gets smaller, I might still recommend it. However, I was blown away by their pastry. Couldn’t remember its name in the first picture but can’t forget how it was tasted. Amazing!! The fulfilled feeling maintained and treat my day.🙂 Have tried several pastry stores and already known nowadays new and unique styles of pastry. But sometimes, you realize it is hard to be good at a simple thing. I might try their different pastries these days to prove my point of view.

If you havent tried the world famous strawberry watermelon cake in Sydney then you are missing out in life, brought every first timer here and everyone love it. The very first shop is also from Newtown!
