Bakery in Bondi Road
A long-running, family-owned artisan bakery and coffee spot on Bondi Road, turning out sourdough, croissants and pastries from early morning.
This is the un-flashy, midway-up-Bondi-Road bakery that locals lean on rather than the beachfront tourist queues, baking its own breads and pastries daily and roasting its own coffee. It opens early and keeps things simple and consistent, which is exactly why the neighbourhood keeps coming back. If you want a genuine morning-bakery routine away from Campbell Parade, this is our pick.
Croissants (the almond and chocolate-almond are the ones regulars single out), Danishes and savoury pastries, sourdough and their signature walnut loaf, paired with their house-roasted coffee.
Small, cosy, unpretentious neighbourhood bakery-cafe.
Local tip: It opens around 5am, so it's a reliable option well before the Campbell Parade cafes get going. Grab pastries to take down the hill to the beach.
Worth knowing: It's a bakery on Bondi Road, not a sit-down beachfront cafe. No views and limited seating. Come for takeaway, not a leisurely brunch.
Hours, prices and menus change — always check the venue’s own site before you go. Spotted something out of date? We keep this directory current; details reflect our last check.
