Top Bakeries in Sydney to Start Your Day with Wholesome and Delicious Breakfast

Although it is easy to visit the same bakery day in and day out, trying something different is a great idea to get your favourite pie, croissant and scone. But pondering on the best bakeries in Sydney for your breakfast can be a pretty irksome affair, and there is always the suspicion of disappointment of buying a stale baguette.

So, to save you trawling the internet, we have included the most preferred haunts in Sydney, offering freshest sourdoughs, brioches and pastries. Choose according to your mood and taste!

1. Bourke Street Bakery, Surry Hills

The much-loved Bourke Street Bakery is an institution baking delicious bread and sweet treats. The bakery doesn’t have a toaster as the owner doesn’t believe in toasting the bread. If you think this is pretentious that means you haven’t been to this place ever before. The bakery also satisfies your sweet tooth with its croissants and pear danish. The savoury menu including beef pie won’t disappoint you at all.

2. Flour and stone, Woolloomooloo

Previously just a tiny bakery seating only a few people, Flour and Stone expanded in 2020 and allowed customers to enjoy a huge space. The shop is always stocked with decadent sweets, including brownies, scones and lamingtons. The savoury breakfast menu adorned sandwiches brimming with fillings and boiled eggs. But the beetroot and spelt carrot cake might win you over right in your first bite.

4. Brickfields, Chippendale

Another local favourite in Sydney, Brickfields is located at Chippendale. Here, you are promised quality bread and mouth-watering pastries. Although their blackboard menu is short, the bacon sandwich has always been on the menu. For the sweet lovers, the fig and walnut toast with fresh ricotta, stone fruit and caraway is a must-try!

5. Sweet Belem Cake Boutique, Petersham

People from all over Sydney travel to Sweet Belem Cake Boutique for their heavenly Portuguese tarts. You’ll be surprised to find that the bakery sells over 1000 custard tarts on weekdays. So, if you reach only to find the tarts sold out, you can also get some Portuguese doughnuts stuffed with legendary egg custard or Portuguese brioche croissants. You might try to ask for their secret recipes after trying these bad boys, but we are sure they won’t say a word!

6. Staple Bread & Necessities, Seaforth

Started in 2012, Staple Bread soon became a part of Sydney’s small but artisan bread community. The bakery opens only three days a week, Wednesday to Sunday, and they sell croissant-style pastries and loaves of bread. Although there are no cakes and coffee, taste their sourdough once to know why we have them on this list!

7. Rollers Bakehouse, Manly

With a pile of golden, flaky croissants visible through the window, Rollers Bakehouse is just the place to grab your morning breakfast. If you think the pastries here accentuate your coffee, you are wrong. They are the main stuff. Their classic almond croissant is amazing but, you can opt for a new taste with a delicious blackberry and pistachio filling. Their garlic bread croissant bringing a savoury twist to the original one is to die for! Try for yourself to believe.

8. Brasserie Bread, Banksmeadow

Offering the freshest baked goodies, Brasserie Bread is a bakery restaurant in Banksmeadow. With its high ceilinged, wooden-floored, communal tabled space, the spot is warm and inviting. You can also find a ‘breaducation’ room here for bread-making workshops and school excursions. Get your hands on their yummy sandwiches and toasties with the Allpress coffee.

9. François Artisan Baker, Bondi

Known for its lip-smacking pies, François is a favourite among pie lovers. But it’s not just about the pies, they are baking equally delicious French cakes, tarts and pastries. Enter and you’ll be caught by the sourdough aroma and a view of the zest-sprinkled lemon tarts and chocolate mousse cakes. We recommend their Merveilleux cakes stuffed with layers of meringue and coated with whipped cream – truly a French delight!

10. Goose Bakery, Forest Lodge

At Goose Bakery, the sourdough loaves, baguettes and fruit-dotted brioche are made daily. If you wish to enjoy a cosy breakfast, this is a lovely place with a squat bench in front and a communal table on the inside. Our choice is the charcoal macaroons, wagyu and coconut croissants. But their coffee is just amazing, served with a shortbread that looks like an object or animal to have a great start to your day.

So, if you are wondering what to have for your next breakfast, the delightful stuff at these bakeries in Sydney could be a good choice to have an energetic morning!
