What can I say, this cafe has saved my life. I have been excited for this gluten free, no sugar, low carb, and wholesome food cafe to open since I first heard of Gillian's intention.

Her meals are so tasty, they get me through seeding and harvest at work when i just don't have time to shop or cook, and being a coeliac, I know I can be 100% safe to eat anything that comes out of her kitchen.

Her pastry is next level! I love her pies,sausage rolls and tarts. And her cheesecakes, lordy lordy I go to heaven! Her vanilla slices and choc eclairs are just like I remember them as a kid. (I was diagnosed with coeliac 16years ago, but have had to restrict lots of food since I was 12) Therefore have eaten many firsts in this cafe.

I go to heaven when I walk into JPK

Thankyou so much Gillian.

I had a selection of deserts from Jar and Platter as not many places have keto desserts on hand. So I was keen to try this out when I found out about this establishment.

Entering the establishment I was greeted by a couple of young staff members, one who I believed to be son of the owner and a obvious new starter. I wasn’t able to have any basic Keto macro questions answered.

Alarm bells for someone trying to stick to their macros that they don’t know the carb count on their own cooking. I was willing to take a punt and ignore the unknown macros issues.

The second thing I noticed is a very strange smell that I couldn’t place. It was very off putting. Something like old off Parmesan cheese?

Anyway, I digress.

Keto Brownie: this was horrible. From the first bite I felt physically sick. There was too much coco. And I’m not sure if it’s Lupin flour some Type of seed filler - but it was just gross. I spat it out 1/10.

Mini Lemon meringue pie : I tried two different types here, one with a meringue crusting and one with just the lemon curd. The base of the pie was sickening - it was so overly sweet and tasted manky.

The curd and crusting on these pies tasted like nothing ? It was a strange experience that I’ve never had before. Overly sweet and strange consistency base and nothing filling. Who knows what the Marcos on these things where. 2/10

Vanilla Slice - all I can really say is “meh”. Again tasted like nothing and had no idea what the Marcos are.

This was a really strange experience for me. My personal opinion is that a lot of work is needed around the food and it’s standards before it should be consumed by the public. I’ve tried quite a few keto cafes now and unfortunately this one needs a lot of work to be worth the price.

After asking around about the cafe to friends as I was trying to work out what was going on there. - I was greeted by really poor personal reviews of this place and stories of mistreatment to staff (ie: apparent very high staff turn over). I can’t say I saw any of this - but the food issues I can attest too.

I have not tried anything else from there again yet. If I try and things improve I’ll happily improve my rating/review
