I found this place by a complete fluke. I was hunting for wooden pallets down side streets in…read moreMarrickville (how hipster of me!) and we could SMELL this bakery before we could even see it. We literally followed our noses (just like our beagle) and found it. It was late in the day, we had already had lunch but the smell was just too good so we had to order. There was very little left in the cabinet and we ended up with a Beef Brisket Pie to share. OHHH MYYY GOD! Possibly the best pie I have ever tasted, I cant say eaten because I literally got 2 bites - my husband pretty much devoured the whole thing within minutes. So happy to have stumbled across this little place and will be back for sure. **After reading other reviews of this place and it's sister properties, I feel it's important to note that I have been living in Sydney for less than a year and at the time of writing this, I had not heard of Bourke Street Bakery, nor did I know that other locations existed**

Beautiful. The…read morefirst one was in Surry Hills, but this Marrickville location is just as good, and usually less crowded. The muffins are crispy at the edge, and gloriously fruit-packed in the middle. The varieties of sourdough bread are stunning, and always deeply delicious. Have it as a breakfast treat with some ricotta and jam and you'll smile all day. The croissants are good, too, as are the brioches. Look, if it's breadlike and you can bake it in an oven they do it best here. Their coffee is exceptionally good too. It's warm and welcoming, with tables and colouring materials for kids (it's popular with families). There are outdoor tables for smokers, or for sunny days. Staff are great, even in the face of cranky customers who don't know how to queue properly. Every visitor I've brought here adores it, and asks to go back.

Iggy's is a hole in the wall and a great option that locals love. This bakery has amazingly…read moredelicious pastries such as chocolate croissants and sticky buns. These are available on Fridays and the weekends only, and are usually not available for long as they sell out in the morning. Prices are average, not too expensive or cheap. Would recommend buying their pastries and walking down to Bronte to eat them!

What's not to love about this place?…read more The bread is awesome. The staff friendly & know their products. Oh. One complaint. They don't do their focaccia's on weekends anymore. Boo to that. Love love love Iggy's!!! Thursday's are my favourite where the Serbian lady makes her pita. Apple, sauerkraut, pumpkin & feta, spinach & feta & whatever else this beautiful lady comes up with. I'll taste everything of hers!!! Although Iggys aren't officially open on Mondays, there's work going on and the doors are open. There's leftover bread which is sliced. Cost is half price + slicing & packaging fee. There's an honesty box for you to leave your money in there. Other products are available for purchase. Best of all, the staff are happy to chat to inform customers on What's happening. I feel so fortunate to be able to live so close and small it a go-to local. Sooooo unpretentious. Rate in the Eastern suburbs!!

Blink and you'll miss it but if you find it, consider yourself lucky…read more Not your run-of-the-mill bakery, this hidden treasure, dwarfed by its adjacent buildings, is stocked with gourmet French sticks, baguettes and sweet treats. It is not the cheapest in the area (loaves start from $6.50) but the bread really is high-quality because that's all they focus on. Try one of their scrumptious chocolate croissants. Ideal for discerning dinner party guests or anybody who likes that familiar smell of fresh, crusty bread. This bakery is not open on Mondays and accepts cash only.

This is going to be a fairly short and sweet review…read more You need to get the chocolate croissant. It is amazing. Crispy exterior, followed by a soft, fluffy and buttery interior and then bam! You hit a river of warm chocolate. Once you finish that croissant you'll need to have a cigarette ;) This bakery is located in a pretty industrial area and from the outside it doesn't look like much. But boy oh boy is it good. They make everything in house in the morning and as fair as I'm aware there's only one guy making everything. There's fruit tarts, sourdough loaves, croissants and more. Go early though!! The good stuff sells early.

After a long day of walking around and riding the train for over an hour we stumbled upon this…read moreAsian bakery. It reminds me of Brug bakery back home, and I love their stuff as they have on top of their different varieties of breads they have a nice combination of sweet and savory pastries. We grabbed a plate (yes it is self serve) and carefully chose one each as we were going to eat dinner soon and didn't want to be overly stuffed. Can you guess what we got? Everything we got was soft, fluffy, buttery, and oh so creamy, and even crispy. Ok I lied, we got more than one each but it was for after dinner as a snack. You know those late night cravings. And yes it still tasted good at midnight. They also have a nice variety of drinks too.

Delicious Asian goodies!…read more While in town, my family and I stumbled upon this bakery as we needed something for our breakfast the next day. While most of their stock was sold out (it was on Valentine's Day when we visited), we managed to try a couple of blueberry cream cheese breads and chocolate croissants. They were delicious the next morning and affordable!

Has freshly baked rolls, sliced bread, sweets such as tarts, brownies, slices, cakes you name it! They also serve freshly made pork, chicken or salad rolls!

There are delicate cakes for that special morning tea or something larger. If you are wanting bread to feed the thousands...well this is the place...when a loaf is for $2. However the loaf will not remain fresh the next day...I believe there are very few preservatives in their bread ( all the better I say!) Freeze the bread and it is really good for toast. If you need a healthy lunch this little bakery does a fantastic bread roll filled with a variety of salads and cold meats. There is always a crowd at lunchtime and the ladies are quick at whipping up a sambo for the hungry worker. This is a little find and I always buy my bread from here.

As a kid all I would eat was plain pasta with butter, salt and cheese, so don't even start me on bread! I keep walking past Sonoma and perving on the amazing sourdoughs in the window. The bakery isn't on-site so there is no bakery smell, this is purely visual food porn. When I discovered that they serve baked beans I could resist no longer and decided to have some Sonoma baked beans and sourdough for breakfast, drooling at the thought... and they'd run out! Doh. They sell them til they run out at around 10 or 11am so next time I'll go earlier. Meanwhile I did munch into a toasted sandwich with eggplant & mozarrella, and verily, it was the greatest toasted sandwich I've ever eaten. I didn't even put cracked pepper on it, that's how good it was! The coffee was great, it's in the back lane of Gould St so no beach view but a beach view would just take your concentration away from your tastebuds anyway so that's probably a good thing. 100% yum.

Overall it's a tiny place but there are plenty of spots outside to sit and enjoy your food and coffee. I ordered the ham and cheese croissant and a latte. The croissant was delicious, a perfect breakfast. The coffee was hot and perfect on a chilly morning and had just the right amount of milk. It was so good I ordered one to go, with an almond croissant. It was the best decision made on this trip. The almond croissant was out of this world, maybe it was the powdered sugar, or maybe it was the fact it's rum dipped. Either way it was amazing and will be my new breakfast go-to. Don't miss out!

Unfortunately for me, they had sold out of Creme Brulees (I arrived their at 3pm so i guess they must be pretty popular) However, FORTUNATELY for me, since I was already lured into the bakery and gawking at the delicious tarts, I had the urge to purchase two of the tarts (~$10 together) which I do not regret depositing most of my daily calories into. The furnishing of the interior and exterior of the store is quite retro and the feels of raw-ness, but its just the perfect balance. I will definitely be coming back for a visit,.. until I get my creme brulee ;)
