Christopher's Cake Shop Surry Hills

This shop is a classic pastry and cake spots in the area. They offer a huge range of sweets, but my favourite has to be the baklava — perfectly crispy and flaky on the outside, with a sweet, gooey, nut-filled centre. Parking can be a bit tricky to find but it's worth the effort.

I ordered two cakes on uber eats. Chocolate mud cake and Blackforest. Mud cake was as good as the one from Cole’s. Blackforest was absolutely inedible, laced with some cheap alcohol that tasted off. Nothing like Blackforest really, dry tasteless sponge, soggy boozed berries and hardly any cream. I threw it out after the first bite. The only good thing is that the shop was open on Saturday early morning. So is Cole’s! Save your money and disappointment, avoid this joint.

We love their Apple Pie! Great for sharing or gifting. For 49 dollars, it can easily serve 8 or more people.

This Greek Cake shop is known for its delicious Pastries, Cakes, Coffee and a huge varieties of desserts. I have tasted a piece of their authentic Greek Baklava, which is very popular among Greek, Turkish and Middle Eastern nations, is a layer of deliciousness filled with chopped Almonds and coated with sweet syrup. Tasted a piece of Baby Cashew Fingers, which is a roll stuffed with delicious caramelized chopped Cashew and topped with Sugar syrup. I become a fan of this place and now planning to taste each and every thing they have in their menu.

Bloody ripper of a café! Grabbed a flat white and it was bang-on! Smooth as and full of flavour. The crew behind the machine are absolute legends, always up for a yarn and know their beans inside out. The vibe’s cruisy, heaps welcoming, and the service is quick as a flash. Big cheers to the barista for a top-notch brew and a proper spot for a morning pick-me-up!

I kindly asked for a fresh cake and didn't worry about the price or anything else just wanted a fresh cake as the person going to eat it is a cake maker an knows cakes! The staff member pointed to a certain cake that she claimed was fresh and arrived to the shop the same morning (today) so I was like great I'll take it 👍🏽. It ended up being a rock hard frozen cake that was a total embarrassment when we went to slice it Hours later. $62 is total robbery I should of got one from Coles or Woolies. Even after being fully defrosted the cake was just a creamy sugar bomb and definitely not a good cheesecake! I was wondering after I paid for it she mentioned leaving it out for 4 hrs I was like oh it must be very cold and hard to cut🤣.... Hahahaha

My mum, my partner and I have been to this cake shop for a while. It’s just around the corner from our place. Dimitri is just amazing. He has been recommending many cakes and he always gets it right. At first, we came in to have a quick look and then, we haven’t stopped coming back. He is so friendly, he knows his stuff! He is truly FANTASTIC. I would strongly recommend to come and try the cakes, my favourite: the baklava and the apple pie!! Thanks Dimitri for such a great experience in this beautiful cake shop!

Great cakes, great coffee, a must when in Surry Hills

Oh Christopher, what's happened to you? Work is just around the corner so Christopher's was always the go to spot for birthday and farewell cakes. The tea cakes are delectably moist and flavoursome without being too sweet, and the Greek biscuits and baklava never failed to tempt me towards making a few impulse purchases. I hadn't been for a while but when I needed to make a last-minute, after-work birthday cake purchase for Mum, Christopher's was the natural place to go. When I arrived it was dimly lit but I thought nothing of it and wandered in, chose a cake then went up to the counter to wait as they added the piped message. Then I noticed a few vinegar flies buzzing around the till. Not too bad, I get a few of them near my pot plant sometimes, and it was just two. But unfortunately the proof was in the pudding - no longer moist and morish, my Crepa cake was dry with the Nutella swirls being its only saving grace. I'm hoping this was just a one off - it was the end of the day after all - and that Christopher's will be back to its shining glory come easter when the brioche plaits with red eggs are out on the counter.

Christopher's Cake Shop has been baking up sweet goodies since 1955! It claims to be Sydney's oldest cake shop and who am I to argue with that. I've been getting cakes from Christopher's since 2003 and they are always superb. Chocolate lovers cannot go past the Chocolate Mud Cake, rich and dreamy. But there's also Cookies and Cream and a Tiramisu cake - both are delish! The cakes start at $37 for a small, $42 for medium and $47 for large. There's also a selection of teacakes for $17 and flans and tarts, which start around the $20 mark. A veritable host of eclairs, buns, muffins, slices and mini-cakes for under $5. You can also order an array for speciality cakes for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings etc. If you're not a sweet-tooth there's a savoury collection of filo pastries, breads, pies and pasties to keep you happy. I dare you to visit Christopher's and not buy anything!

Went today to get a takeaway sandwich so I just saw this went I arrived home. Dry bread with holes, barely any ingredients. How they are ok with selling this? Terrible and very expensive. Staff are pretty arrogant as well. I'm not coming back.

*Drool*.... I mean *drooooool.....* If you have a sweet tooth and you have not found your way here you are wasting your appetite on something undeserving. There are so many options to try here and none of them will be on your diet. So....... screw your diet (at least for a while). When I was there last time I had a Greek coffee, matched with .... - Melomakarona (Greek honey macaroons with crushed walnuts); & - Baby choc amaret (Bliss made from almond flour, sugar and vanilla dipped in choc) Thy also serve Hernandas coffee here which for me is rather nostalgic. I worked at Hernandas doing the grave yard shift for quite some time :-) This is a must visit!

I have never dealt with more incompetent, unreliable staff in my life. By far the most disappointing I have come across. I made an order 2 weeks earlier to be told 2 days before Christmas that they could no longer have my order ready and there was nothing that could be done. No explanation, no compensation, no apology. (Clearly the lady that answered the phone forgot to put my order through). If you expect your order to be ready when they say, be prepared for disappointment. Crying won't help - they are ruthless!! (Btw, this was from the Mascot store)

Whenever I want a Greek sweet something, I head to Christopher's. Its conveniently close and its to the detriment of my waistline that I live around the corner from the Surry Hills store. I love all of the Greek biscuits and the biscotti, which are perfect with a cup of coffee. I usually buy a big batch to take home and have with my after dinner coffee/tea. Love it. I haven't tried any of the cakes unfortunately but this is on my to do list at the next special occasion. Even the tea cakes sound amazing - I'm going to try the caramel mud tea cake next :) They have other branches at Mascot and Kogarah, so get yourself to a Christopher's Cake Shop for your next Greek indulgence.

Very unhappy with the customer service experience. I visited the store on Monday 9th Feb at approximately 4:00pm. No-one approached my sister and I for service, so we approached one of the disinterested staff members who looked as if we bothering her. We placed our order of a custard tart and 2 coffees. She didn't seem impressed that she had to make coffee. When we got our coffees, the milk was burnt and she slammed the custard tart take away bag on the counter. When we went to pay, I was a bit slow in getting the money out and she seemed very agitated. She made us feel very unwelcome. On a positive note, the custard tart was beautiful.

Disgusting customer service. Ordering almost every month for a year and receiving their customer discount every time, Greg at Surry Hills has decided that he doesn't want our business anymore. He cannot guarantee 'anything' and made it clear that he was absolutely OK with us cancelling our order. We've never encountered such rude customer service and we will never place an order here again.
