The Thousands

Don’t know about you, but winter pushes me towards bakeries; though sometimes the pie-pasty-sausage roll trifecta doesn’t quite cut it, nor does the chocolate donut-berliner-cream bun dessert cartel.

"Are there any other baked good concoctions out there?" I lament, ineffectively wiping sauce from my mouth with a waxy paper bag. I hear heralding trumpets sound, and see a warm light glow around 65 Grote Street in the city. Bread Top?

Finally the Melbourne-born East-meets-West bakery franchise has opened a store in Adelaide. There are so many baked good combos to choose from, you’ll need all winter to try them all. Because I’m a sucker for New Taste Sensations^TM (and advertising), my eyes light up when I see items like "’Sausage Donut’, ‘Green Tea Red Bean Puff’, ‘Blue Mountain Coffee Bun’, ‘Apple Horn’, ‘Milk de Crunch’, ‘Taro Bun’, ‘Mini Pork Chop Bun’, and the most amazing black and green ‘Charcoal Garlic Bun’.
It’s the perfect place to line your stomach for a night out, or a comforting lunch on a chilly day. Most items cost less than $3 too, so try a couple of flavours each time. Or be a glutton, and scoff that greasy goodness by the boxful.
