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.

Looking at the name of this shop 'coogee baykery' you'll probably laugh like I did and think these…read moreowners don't know how to spell the word bakery, that is of course unless you're a local or smart enough to know its a play on words. The name of the suburb where the shop's located is in fact coogee bay. This small bakery located in a small shopping arcade just up from the beach is open every day from 6am to 6pm and has all the baked goodies you're usually after from your local baker. They've got croissants, danishes, tasty fresh rolls, loaves of bread and trusty sausage rolls and meat pies for lunch. They're also good when those after work or after school hunger pains strike and you need a quick ham and cheese roll, cheese twist or apple pie to fix you up.

Now I am a sweet tooth but I have made a promise not to buy anymore donuts, cinnamon scrolls or apple Danish pastries as I am trying to loose weight. The bread is fresh and plenty of types available - you can ask them to slice it for you as well. My favourite bakery item is their quiches! For only $4.70 you can eat a Spinach Quiche Lorraine. Just ask the server to reheat the quiche as they are served cold. Highly recommend this bakery.

The windows have a great selection of breads, there's sourdoughs, rye breads, white breads, grain breads all the usual suspects. There's also flans, slices, pies, quiches, croissants, cheesey pastries and all the usual bakery bits. There's also sandwiches and a selection of drinks on offer. I love to grab a croissant from here to nibble on while cruising the shops on Oxford Street.

I have not eaten Sausage rolls in years, when I was a kid I used to love them, but as I have grown…read moreup, I've found them increasingly disgusting and often find myself trying to analyse them in order to work out actually what species of animal has actually been used to make them and which parts? But today I was in a rush and was passing Boulangerie Patisserie, I saw sausage rolls and had an uncontrollable temptation (yes I was THAT hungry). I am relieved to say though that the sausage roll was really very good. It seemed to have been made with some sense of standards, it seemed to have actual discernable meat inside it was tasty and it didn't appear that it might have been sitting there a few days, but instead seemed fresh! It brought back the old sausage roll and tomato sauce memories from my childhood. I might go back for another.

Sister shop of Bourke Street Bakery, this joint has all the goodies that BSB sells but without the line. Perfect croissants? Tick. Delicious sausage rolls? Tick. Amazing potato, rosemary nigella seed sourdough? Oooooh yes tick! The shop is all white walls, blackboards and large panes of glass - definitely fit out for the Eastern Suburbs crowd. Being tucked out of the way from the crowds, it's a great space to chill out with a book. The only fault (if you can even call it a fault) is the coffee. Not that it's bad, it's just not blow-your-mind amazing like everything else around it. But seriously, get the potato, rosemary nigella seed sourdough - only available on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays but worth the wait. Oh wait, there is no wait - there's no line...

I think so many people decide to set up shop here because of the language school next door. But Central Baking Depot seems to be the only one in recent years to realise that students don't have money! They've accordingly set up a nice affordable café-bakery and not only is the food cheap but it's actually really good! They were awarded best café/bakery by the SMH Good Café Guide and their single origin coffee is the best I've had in Bondi Junction. The open shop-front is a pleasant place to watch the world go by before being assailed by shoppers in Westfield... or if you're lucky pick up a foreign student!

This is my happy place. And what a wonderful, happy place it is…read more Their cake selection has gone noticeably fancier over the years but they still make my favs, the vanilla slice (which is now called mille fueille, excusez moi) and the profiteroles...the once cool bite-size pastry before macarons overtook every bakery in Syd. Both their individual serving and party cakes are delicious and well prized. I've noticed the cafe has gone quieter in recent years, possibly because sugar is poison now and no one wants a cake made with flour and cream instead of raw yak milk and activated broccolini...none of those here, just bloody great cakes.

We were given plastic cups and water but my cup had crumbs in it which was gross. I had a cappuccino that was pretty good. My friend's smoothie came out in a bottle which was a little disappointing. My friends' breakfast toasties came out pretty quickly. They were hearty sandwiches for only $10. I had the BBQ brisket hash and my friend had the smashed avo toast with egg. Both of our dishes took significantly longer to come out. The hash was good just not what I was expecting. It had beans, chickpeas, and lentils. The meat was tasty and there was a nice lime aioli with it that gave it a lot of taste. My friend said her smashed avo toast was great.
