After a satisfying lunch in Burwood, we hung around the area a bit before hopping on a train that took us to Homebush, an up and coming area with lots of new property development projects. As there wasn't a whole lot to see in Homebush (except construction sites), it didn't take long for us to realize that it's time to move onto our next destination, North Strathfield.
North Strathfield is primarily a residential suburb and from what we've seen, it has its fair share of schools and tutoring centres. So, it took us by surprise when we ran into La Lune Market, a "coffee shop cum bakery and retail market" on our way to the train station.
We love visiting markets and grocery shops so of course, we had to come in and take a look.
La Lune Market is much more than a market. It also doubles as a coffee shop with home brewed coffee, cake shop and more.
Bagels, scones, croissants, cinnamon rolls, even Portuguese egg tarts! I didn't expect to see them here!
Let's grab a seat outside first.
Tiramisu – The texture was really nice. Soft and airy, the way I like it. But the flavors were slightly off as if it's a vegan version of the real deal. A little disappointing especially considering the great texture.
Matcha basque cheesecake – La Lune's basque burnt cheesecake came in three different flavors, original, matcha and nutella.
I would have gone for the nutella flavor in a heartbeat but it was Jelloman's call and she got us the matcha. Not bad.
La Lune Market wasn't initially on my radar screen and I thought it was a great find in an area that we less expected a cozy coffee shop and cafe. Too bad we didn't have time to hang around here for too long cuz we have a very important meal happening in less than 2 hours.
