Kurt C.

5 stars for the staples at this Bakery. Great coffee; Worth the wait even when it's busy. The cheese sticks are sooo goood especially when they are straight out of the oven. Crisp pastry oooozing cheese. After a surf, the Sausage roll is a definate go to. They are massive; Crisp pastry and I'll go there 'moist and flavoursome filling' The Grumpy baker also have some great pies on offer, a little messy and expensive. However this is countered by the large portion size and great flavour. There are also a variety of loaves and sweet pasties to choose from. Grab a table outside and watch the ocean in action. This place is perfectly convenient after a morning beach sesh.

When I went, the signage outside said "The Bay Bakehouse", but I suppose there's been a change of…read moremanagement? I think they should have kept the name. With a title like "The Bay" it makes you think of Home and Away, doesn't it? Well it should. It feels a lot like that, as does a like of the stores and people around here. Like everyone knows everyone else, and theres a strong community vibe. It's a simple place. Not heaps to sell, but all really well priced, so its respectable. I think these days its hard to find a milkshake for less than $5, but here they do them for $4. To eat, they can make you up a roll just how you like it, or there are pies. Home made, I'm pretty sure, I can see they making them out the back. And then theres the deserts. This place doesn't have heaps, and nothing extra ordinary or worth travelling for, but a simple, humble bakery such as this one should satisfy on a lazy Sunday at Maroubra beach.

This is our local coffee joint, coffee is consistent and always tastes good…read more The owners are really nice people, they keep it very community and low key here, if you want fancy pants treatmeant bugger off and go someplace else. picked up egg and bacon rolls for a morning from time to time, always fresh hot and they put lots of bacon in it too. Pastries are fresh daily and taste amazing, particularly the chocolate croissants :)

Delicious chicken and pork rolls! This shop sells chicken, pork and tuna rolls for $5.00. What a…read morebargain. They make the rolls how you'll like it, and its very fresh and fulfilling. Every morning, I can smell the bread rolls from my house. Such a pleasant whiff. And many times Ive seen the rolls coming out of the oven. Its great that its fresh, and my family can have fresh breads. They're soft and crispy. There is also a variety of sweet and savory pastries. I love their croisants and cheese and bacon rolls and apple turnovers. You should try these if you're ever there. And did I mention how many sweets this businss has? So many selection of slices, I didnt know which to choose, so I tried it all. My favorite was the caramel slices. They also sell home made meat pies. These pies are to die for. They're hot and savory, and very delicious. My daughter is usually picky, but one time I brought it out of chance for her after school. And now she'll be ''I want the same meat pie where you got me last time". I go here every time ever since. Their coffee is very good. On their coffee cups, it shows the coffee beans many awards in 2014. There is heaps of parking spots. It is also very convenient because the bakery is connected to the woolworths, post office, pharmacy, newsagent, fruit and vegetable shop, and the chicken store, hair salon and a Chinese restaurant. Overall the store is very welcoming, and has heaps of food items to choose from. It is also inexpensive. It is worth coming over and trying it out for yourself and see what Im talking about.

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!!
