The best thing about this Fournos are the team who run it. Tasty food, nice coffee, and a friendly team give this Fournos a personal touch. You feel welcomed and warmed when you visit this Fournos.

Unfortunately this Fournos is not what it used to be. Very poorly stocked, particularly on some of my favourite items - Spanakopita. If you are lucky they may have leftovers from the day before still being sold as fresh. Rather go up the road to Dunkeld. I feel sorry for the staff as they are doing what they can with very little.

Update:Much improved since last time-quicker, better tasting food with friendly service staff and more “hands on” from manager. Loved the chicken salad, the sauce was brilliant. The selection of fresh goodies was amazing as always, but the ice creams weren’t as over the top as expected them to be. Will definitely be taking the buisness orders here as well as the family back again-seems much more personal than the bigger stores.Tiny but convenient-they are pricey, but was surprised at the generous breakfast when it arrived. Wasn’t knock your socks off in terms of flavor(a few condiments made it much more pleasant). Service was average and food took a while even though they were only moderately busy. Don’t do the buffet style food-constantly opening and closing and double dipping in more than one item puts one off. Would think a big brand like this would try harder overall(not very eco friendly with all the plastic containers). Hollandaise was factory produced (from head office) and was bitter?? Eggs weren’t done properly and manager flirted around doing nothing really.

My husband purchased muffins this morning - they are rock hard and stale. Definitely the last time I support this branch. (This was not our first experience with stale goods either)

The service was impeccable. I went to pick up a cake for my brothers 21st and they were running a bit late. But they gave my mother and I a free drink while we waited. The cake was fresh and delicious and I highly recommend them.

Really nice bakery! The range of products from bread and croissants to ice cream and sorbet is fantastic. The salad and panini bar is really good as well. The bread is always nice and fresh. Although it is rather pricey it is totally worth it if you can afford it.

I went for cake and coffee and must say that compared with other Fournos I was less impressed. I dont think Id go back. To me they seemed more expensive than the branch further down the road and I wasnt madly impressed with the service.

Review №21

Bought 2 sausage rolls and the taste was revolting as the meat of something was off. I phoned the manager to complain. I suggested to the manager that the pies needs to be checked as it can cause serious food poisoning. Im not one to complain but this was seriously terrible and I hope the management will do something in this regard.

Small and cosy shop. Place to eat and enjoy a meal. They also have freshly baked pastries, bread, cake etc, the milk tart is Devine. Nice place to grab lunch even on the go. Staff was friendly and very helpful too.

Review №43

Fournos Valley Shopping Center is convenient . Food from the menu is fine but buffet food tends to be dry and the fruit salad bar tends to have the previous days cut fruit presented which is unacceptable for pawpaw, kiwi and such. Manager is too busy looking at himself in the mirrors to be aware and concerned.

Big fan of Fournous, but this branch doesnt seem to bake goods as well as the others. Possibly as its still quite new and theyre getting into it. Croissants seemed old, hard, cold and tasteless. Not great the few times I tried it.
