Bourke Street Bakery
Reviews
The best muffins in town. More often than not, with fruit muffins there is more muffin and very little fruit. That is not the case here. Their pear and rhubarb muffin has huge chunks of both and is simply divine. Otherwise I also choose a pizza option and their chocolate milk is made in house. Do not be out off by the queue outside. The store counter is quite shallow respective to the size of the store - only about 6 customers will be queued inside.
The tarts are to die for. The problem is choosing which ones to eat because all of them sound equally amazing. Lemon curd is a tricky thing to do right just because everyone has varying standards on how sweet they like their lemon tarts to be. Bourke Street Bakery's version was reminiscent of the lemon tarts I had in Paris. The curd provided enough zing and the best part is probably eating it with my fingers. The ginger creme brulee tart was also another favourite - what a great idea to put creme brulee in a tart! Topped off with pistachios, this is one tart that gets me salivating just thinking about it. I wish I could have brought a dozen of each home with me.
One of my favourite bakeries in Sydney. Everything here is awesome, the bread, the pies, the tarts and even the pizza. Attention to detail is paid to every item on their diverse menu and everything is made in house, including the juices. The coffee is also great, making this place a triple threat. The queues here can look insane but it's well worth it. There's plenty of seating at and around this place so it's a great spot to find breakfast, brunch or lunch.
Very good bread and food. Nice coffee., friendly staff. Only problem is that it is tiny and often lines go out onto the street, they move quickly though so dont stress
Really nice bakery with outside seats sheltered by the shadows of the nearby trees, a great place to enjoy a coffee and one of there nice pastries. I tried the carrot cake and the ginger/crème brûlée/pistachio pie and loved both.
