5 Best Bakeries in Sydney (2026)

Flour and Stone is a small bakery in Woolloomooloo known for its pannacotta lamingtons, flaky croissants, and made-from-scratch cakes. Everything is baked on site using ingredients sourced from small growers and local producers, and the shop runs baking classes for anyone who wants to learn the craft themselves. It's the kind of place built around a handful of signature items rather than a sprawling menu.

Black Star Pastry's Sydney CBD shop is the city outpost of the bakery famous for its watermelon and strawberry cake, layered with rosewater cream and native flavors. It's set up as a grab-and-go counter with limited seating upstairs or in the food court below, and the menu leans into shareable cakes and pastries rather than a full breakfast service.

Le MONDE Bakery-Cafe is a compact cafe-bakery in the Sydney CBD serving coffee, bagels, and a rotating pastry case to a mostly walk-in crowd. It's built for speed and simplicity rather than a sit-down brunch, with a handful of small tables and a steady stream of regulars.

A.P House, part of the A.P Bakery group, occupies a rooftop space above a ground-floor cafe in Surry Hills, reached by a lift up from street level. The bakery is known for a wide pastry case, from croissants to smoked brisket pie, alongside coffee and cold brew, and it operates several sister locations around the city.

Banksia Bakehouse runs two Sydney CBD locations, at George Street and Barangaroo, with an open kitchen where pastry chefs bake cakes, croissants, and savoury pies daily. The bakery also handles catering orders and gift cards, and its menu covers everything from Basque cheesecakes to focaccia sandwiches.
