I had heard rumours of a few places in Sydney boasting the best sticky buns and pies to die for. So, of course, I thought I should test them out for myself, just to be sure. These are my tried-and-tested picks for the best bakeries in Sydney.
I’ve passed the Bourke Street Bakery several times since arriving in Sydney and there is always a queue. I thought I would see what the fuss was about and joined it one day only to get overwhelmed by the choice in the traditional boulangerie style cabinets and ovens. Online reviews rave about their pies and sausage rolls but I was always going to go for a sweet treat. The lemon curd tart I chose was wonderful – a sharp and creamy filling with a crumbly base. I’ll have to go back and try the ginger crème brulee tart I’ve since heard is the best.
There are several outposts of the Bourke Street Bakery in Sydney. I chose the Bourke Street branch in Surry Hills, which has outdoor seating only. Bourke Street Bakery, corner of Bourke and Devonshire, Surry Hills. Also in Alexandria, Marrickville, Potts Point, Neutral Bay and North Sydney.
Another bakery that left me overwhelmed with choice. Do I go for a sourdough loaf or a flourless cake or how about a cinnamon scroll? Luckily there were some testers on the counter which helped me make my decision- divine cinnamon scroll won. Infinity’s speciality is artisan bread (you can see them baking it at the back of the store) but I heard more than 1 person order the scones whilst I was in store and they seemed to be regulars! There is a small seating area out the front of the store but most people order their treats to takeaway. Infinity Sourdough Bakery, 225 Victoria Street, Darlinghurst. Also in Manly.
