85°c Cafe – Butter Cookies
I first spotted this cafe on George Street a couple of years ago and never seemed to purchase anything other than stare at the window with my mouth wide open waiting for flies to zoom in 
. A couple of months ago I noticed there was a new 85°c bakery in Kingsford and a tiny branch located at the bottom of Parramatta Westfield.
My sister was starving and it was 5:40pm so she ended up purchasing these butter cookies!!! At first I thought to myself “awww these look uber cuteeee”. While I was driving her home she hand me one and OMGG it was soooooo NICE!!! :wow:
TASTE
The first explosion reminded me of lindt délice (macarons) but more lighter and sweeter. Second phase made me moan like the herbal essence commercial LOLLLLL.. It tasted like “Egg Rolls” (you gotta be chinese to know what egg rolls are its a child hood wafer / flaky biscuit which tastes like EGG). If your brought up on egg rolls like me then you just might like this mini bite 
TEXTURE
Very light, fluffy to an extent, character is almost meringue like but a billion times lighter than a pavlova, cream is soft and smooth and the size is as big as a 20-50¢ piece.
These look very nice indeed. How much did the whole containerful cost?

Egg rolls – they bring back memories! I didn’t used to like them, but if they looked like macarons, then I’d give them a try now.

Seriousss?
you never liked egg rolls? :wow: I loved egg rolls so much i could eat a hole tin (well not really eat a hole tin cos then id end up looking like an egg roll) but enough to make me feel complete hehe
It’s doesnt taste as strong as an egg roll..
but the egg roll taste is definitely there. (you can taste the eggs)..
Its sorta like butter eggs / sweet macaroons hehe

They look so good. I think, from what I saw of your pictures, if I go to Australia I’m going to come back weighting a few pounds more.
