Grabbin' a four star rating is the not so humble neighborhood bakery- Gusto…read more This is one schmick operation here in little ol' Strathmore. There ain't any pretty going on here though. Basic 101 neighborhood bakery decor. But all immaculate kept. Rather impressive. I felt almost as if I could have walked into the display cabinet and discovered the likes of Donna Hay stylin' away in here. The high level of quality control really shines through here. All the tasty baked goods looked near perfect, yet still a little rough. This just emphasised the hard work that the bakers here go to. No mass produced cookies or doughnuts here. We dropped by on a Sunday morning and by 10am they had run out of croissants. Testament to how popular this little spot is. As we where heading out road tripping a few snacks were needed. The top prize goes to the smiley face cookies that I snuck in. Delicate shortbread cookies, with a sweet icing top and jam filling. Bring on the flood of child hood memories. One star was lost for the snooty staff. So I may not look like a soccer mum but hey I deserve some respect for not breeding at such a young age. The staff were not helpful at all. No suggestions, no can I help you? Nothing past the initial walk in HI. In all honesty the cookies was so cookie-licous that I'll be back.

Saturday mornings I love to pop in and treat my family to a morning and afternoon of hot, fresh breads for our breakfast and lunch salad sandwiches. The cob loaf and multigrain selection are scrumptious! And if you're in need of a sugar and coffee fix to or from work or the school pick up, there's no better deal than the $2 coffee and donut. Should be all I needed to say really.

And the small selection of Danishes, escargot, and other pastries are both excellent and generous in size. They have a fridge with milk and drinks and a small fresh sandwich stand where they fill fresh bread rolls to order. I haven't tried their sandwiches but I always indulge in one of their pastries, as they are as good as I've had anywhere in the world.

However this place is an exception! I've been there like 5 times in 2 weeks (can't get enough of their awesome chicken and veggie pies and vanilla slices!) and every time I've been there it's been perfect. Staff are so warm and friendly, and if you're in a hurry you're in luck- there are allot of staff working and you can get your order within a minute! Parking both out the front and across the street. The shop is really clean, and perhaps slightly off topic (!) but having not lived in Melbourne for almost 2 decades it's been strange to always have immigrants when I go and eat who have trouble communicating in English...this place is not so! It seems to be family owned and operated which I love...good old fashioned service......almost impossible to find thesedays! Can't recommend this place enough!

What a gem of a little bakery! Not being on the main Sydney…read moreroad drag means that there are mainly locals that frequents this shop. Although I have a feeling that the Village Bakery may have its own not-so-local addicts. It's one of those places that looks almost warehouse like from the outside so you don't really look twice. Once you decide to visit Village Bakery though, it's a whole different story! It's elegant and welcoming inside, Open plan type counter and seatings and bread, cakes and pastries, pies and the smell of coffee. It's bright and smells delicious inside. You know you're gonna put on those kilos here. Bread are fresh daily, and there's also a selection of cheap day old bread on the side. Fresh whole meal loaf will set you back about $4 and between $1-3 for day old sourdough, rolls etc. I tried the Nutella donuts ($4)ea also available with jam or custard Pies and pasties selection include lamb, chicken and vego and there's also quiches on offer It was super difficult to keep my eyes off he cake cabinet... Eeeegggghhhhh I spied meringues, berry tarts cheesecakes, EVERY THING looks good!!!! I walked out still sniffing the coffee in the air and thinking about my next purchase... Oh its a blessing and a curse to have finally discovered the Village Bakery. Tip: on street parking and a few off street parking spots directly on door. If you're stuck, park at union square across the road

A quaint little bakery you may not think twice about. However, if you just kept walking on by then…read moreunfortunately you would've just missed out on some really good treats. Sure they make your typical varieties of fresh breads and sweets, but it's the Greek speciality items on offer that makes The Village Bakery worth a visit. The spanakopita in particular is a rare treat. They don't make it often, so when it is available, the locals flock to it. The folio pastry they use must be homemade as it's nothing like the stuff you'd find in a supermarket. It's thicker and beautifully crispy on top. The filling has the perfect balance between salty feta and earthy spinach. I can definitely see why it runs out so fast. One morning I popped in to grab one of their Greek pastries with the custard in the middle, and the owner told me they had just baked a fresh batch and went to get me a one from the back. It was still warm which made it twice as good. Now I try to get there in the morning hoping to score another freshly baked goody.
