One of my food goals while in Sydney was to try a true Aussie meat pie...and with this being considered Sydney's original bakery, I came here for exactly that! All pies are A$8 which come in beef, chicken and vegetable varieties. I'd consider this a pretty reasonable price as they were about the size of a small Marie Callender's pot pie... a nice personal serving! They also have sausage rolls and pastries which looked tempting, but the four of us each ordered a pie for a small lunch after a morning in Barangaroo. There is no indoor seating, but we were lucky to snag one of the several outdoor tables. My BRISKET, WINE & VEGETABLE PIE was filled with chunks of tender beef in a brown gravy, with carrots and celery. The gravy was flavorful without being too salty, and I didn't really notice any undertones from the wine. Normally, I'm not a huge fan of crust, but I finished every bite of this one as it was baked to a perfect golden brown and served right out of the warmer. It was really delicious! Two of my family members got the classic MINCEMEAT PIE, which had a straightforward ground beef filling. This one was also scrumptious and savory. The four of us were satisfied with our pies which kept us full enough during our walk over to the Sydney Fish Market.
We tried several meat pies during our stay in Sydney and Bourke Street Bakery was my favorite by far. We ordered their "Chunky Beef" and "Chicken Sweet Potato and Pea" ($8 each) along with a "Pork and Fennel Sausage Roll" ($7.50) and everything came out piping hot, fresh and delicious. The crust of the pies and sausage roll was flaky and crispy and the meat in all of the items were flavorful and tender. Definitely a must try if you're looking for a good meat pie! Service was quick and friendly and Bourke has a few outdoor tables and chairs for some casual outside dining.
This bakery was our favorite in Sydney. They served up coffees, pastries, meat pies and more for breakfast with both indoor and outdoor seating. As it was located next to Barangaroo Wharf, we opted to take our order to go and sit on the benches and watch both people and boats go by. While there was a line out the door when we arrived, the staff was quite efficient and quickly filled the orders. Their lamb sausage roll was one of the best we've eaten on this trip. It had a nice flaky roll and savory filling but tasted even better with the side of tomato sauce (thinner than ketchup), 25 cents extra. The unique design of the tomato packaging made it easy and mess free to squeeze out the right amount. The beef brisket, red wine and mushroom pie was also an excellent choice. It was a handful with lots of tender beef, mushrooms inside. The spinach and mushroom quiche rounded out our breakfast. Definitely one bakery that we will come back again and again on a future trip to Sydney.
Cute little bakery and busy during mid day for the business people wanting to come here for a quick coffee break. Got the two most recommended items : pork and fennel pastry and pistachio crème brûlée tart. Both were unique and delish in flavor. Workers seemed kinda of flustered when it got busy. Limited on outdoor seats
BOURKE STREET!!! We ate half a dozen meat pies while on our trip to Sydney, and BS had far and away my favorite one. We rolled up around 2pm on the Queen's Birthday (a national holiday) and it was poppin' like you wouldn't believe with a line out the door--to be fair, all of Barangaroo was poppin' this day. The line moved very quickly, and we were able to snag a meat pie with beef brisket, mushroom, and red wine sauce. In other words, a combination that I've never turned down. You guys. This pie changed my life. The crust was buttery and flaky while still strong enough to support and contain the innards, and the winey briskety stew inside was everything I could've hoped for it to be. A good red wine taste without being overpowering, seasoned wonderfully without being too salty, and perfectly cooked tender brisket. I'm drooling again just thinking about it. If we hadn't had dinner reservations an hour later (yes, we did in fact need a pre-dinner snack), I would've happily gone back for second and thirds. Try this pie, you will absolutely not regret it. Fair warning: they are pretty limited on the number of tables they have, so it fills up quick when it's busy! Make sure you send someone to snag a spot, or you can always walk along the harbor and take in views with your warm steamy pie in hand.
Bourke street was one of the places recommended to me when I said I was coming to Sydney. It definitely stacked up to the recommendation. I had a beef meat pie and a chocolate cookie. I also had an orange juice and a chai latte with almond milk. The beef pie was very good - the dough was great and it was nice and hot. I think I would have preferred minced beef over the shredded way they had it though. The cookie was fabulous - it was chocolate but had cranberries or something in it which was unexpectedly delicious. The chai latte was really tasty and well made. Also it smelled delicious inside. I'd definitely return.
Bourke Street Bakery became part of my Sydney itinerary at the recommendation of several friends, and I'm glad they told me about it. I feel like everyone already knows how good this place is, but I'll say that the sausage roll still caught me by surpriseb with how tasty and filling it was! The crust was crisp and flaky, while the sausage was juicy and packed with flavor. I also really liked the flat white, one of the best I've had in Sydney so far. I can't wait to try some of their sweet options at another location!

We were in town for a few days and wanted to sample some meet pies. This place was recommended for the area so we decided to give it a try. The restaurant itself is on a corner and is really set up for takeout orders. We chose to eat there and were able to snag one of the few tables outside. The restaurant is very busy so it's best to know what you want when getting to the order counter. We tried the Classic Beef pie and one that had beer, beef and mash. Both were actually quite tasty. We tried them with and without sauce (sauce is on the side). I liked the sauce - not a ketchup (or tomato sauce as the Aussies call it) but close to it - my wife did not. The pies were quite flavorful and tasty and we were pleased both the the quality and the speed of service. read more

I know this is called a sausage roll but the texture reminds me of a meatloaf in a very light pastry. It was delicious but came out so piping hot we probably had to wait five minutes before eating it. Delicious worth a trip. read more

Cute little bakery that packs a punch in terms of the variety they offer - food and drinks! We ended up getting a bunch of different pastries, but our favorite by far was the sausage rolls. We got both the beef and lamb, both had the perfect flakey crust and delicious meat inside. read more

We are tourists visiting from California and stopped here walking by our first morning . The rolls and coffee were so good that we came here for breakfast our entire stay in Sydney (3 days). I wish we were staying long enough to buy one of the lovely loaves of bread. read more

Amazing food, great service. This is built in a great little courtyard with several other businesses. There was a 20 minute wait but it was definitely worth it! read more
Meat pies are famous in Sydney and Bourke street was great. The beef pie was delicious with great tasting crust. I posted the current menu for 12/27/2019. The chocolate croissant was also excellent. It is a small corner shop with outside seating for about 12 people. It is located on the east side of Darling Harbour in Barangaroo. The mince fruit pies also a good option. read more
Surry Hills locals may downplay this spot, but it's only because it's SO good they've probably frequented it too many times! I absolutely adored their pastries - croissants were excellently fluffy yet crispy, chocolate cakes were decadent, and even their salads make for a hearty lunch. Their coffee is nothing too special, but who cares it goes so well with their pastries. Highly recommend for anyone in the area! read more

I loved this! This was tiny and beautiful. The service was fast and friendly, the location was unbeatable and the food.... I am a croissant snob. I love croissants and these were delicious. Their cappuccino was delicious, I mean... emotionally delicious. I highly recommend this! $9 for a ham and cheese croissant and a capuchino is a good deal! read more

I have come here several times in the morning for a flat white and a ham and cheese croissant. The flat white and croissant are tasty and come out quickly. The seating area outside is nice. If you get a good seat, you can see the wharf. Nice for a light breakfast before tackling the rest of a busy day. read more
Bourke Street Bakery never fails! Came here on a Thursday afternoon...despite a lot of blue collar workers here to get their afternoon caffeine fix, there were a few empty tables (outdoor/ indoor). Extensive menu choices....it's really difficult to decide since everything sounds good! I finally picked a beef pie with potato/bacon/beer. YUM! Friendly service & great food, you need to try it if you havent already :) read more
If you are into food in any way, be it professionally or as a foodie, then before you die you absolutely must try the perfectly nailed Ginger Crème brûlée tart from Bourke Street Bakery. Today I had one from the Barangaroo outlet and it was as perfect as perfect can be. I mean, heaven perfect. You _have_ to try it. read more

Highly suggested Bakery to go to if you are in Barangaroo (the new financial district in Sydney). This place is well known in town and have some of the best creamy tarts you can find! I tried the ginger flavored one along with a flat white with the coco sprinkle, it was definitely a match made in heaven. Highly suggested! Minimal inside seating however alot of seating outside! read more
Great place for breakfast pastries. I tried their almond croissant, lamb sausage roll, and muffin. I liked everything, although they were a bit too buttery. You can see the oil seep through the paper wrapping. Wish they would warm it up though, muffin and croissant were cold. read more

This cafe located in the fast paced Barangaroo quarter was packed when we stumbled upon in! Looking to stop walking for a bit, it was a very welcome line to stand in. The flat white was delicious, but of all the fantastic Sydney cafes, I'd go out of my way to return because the meat pies are so delicious! I ordered the braised beef, mushroom, red wine reduction pie and I have no regrets!! The pie shell was flakey to perfection and an absolute delight to devour read more
