I always bring my Nan here when we're out and about doing some shopping in Albany. I know we'll be served quickly, there will always be seating and the food will be good. They also have a lot of variety which suits my fussy Nan! We usually get a pie or sandwich and share a piece of cake after. So far the chocolate cake has been a stand out. A really reliable option on a shopping trip out.
I have been to this hollywood a few times, and today I ordered a cappuccino and a chocolate muffin. The muffin was amazing as always :) but I would recommend the milk being stored when not being used, but other than that everything else tastes absolutely fine! :)
I'd also like to add I like the staff, really friendly people :)
Best blueberry muffins and hot chocolate out there! Staff are always friendly and polite and you're guaranteed quick service!
Always a joy to pop in :)
I am a huge fan of the entire Hollywood Bakery chain, but this one (next to The Warehouse, Albany) is my absolute favourite as it is the first one that I ever discovered, probably 12 years ago now when I worked part-time as a student at The Warehouse.
What's not to like?! I looooove their sandwiches, I don't know what type of mayonnaise they use but I guess they make their own, and it is amazing. They have a fantastic selection of cakes. The coffee is always spot on. The fluffies are so much better than any of their competitors.
The service is always quick, friendly and efficient. It offers great value for money - many of the prices are cheaper than their competitors, plus you get a free muffin with all espresso-based coffees.
In fact I love this place so much that when my newborn daughter went on her first-ever outing, guess where I took her? (Okay so I didn't really set out to take her there, but we ended up there on the way back from where we had been, so it was still her first cafe experience.)
I don't know how many times I've been to this cafe - I'm going to guess 500 times, as I certainly went twice per week the entire time that I worked at The Warehouse and I've been back hundreds of times since - and in all that time, I have NEVER had any kind of negative experience. Now that's saying something.
