    Gloria’s, The Good Baker, Choukette - off the top of my head, all on Sydney Road.

    Gloria’s is a little vegan/veggo/usual cafe, and they bake all their delicious desserts, cakes, pies, etc on site. Owned by a couple they are both so very happy to adjust any menu pieces.

    Choukette is a French bakery/cafe that has a range of hot and cold pastries and desserts. Beautiful decor and vibe, lovely baristas and owners.

    The Good Baker has opened just recently but I have enjoyed everything I’ve had so far. Range of hot and cold pastries and desserts and bread, all made on site, and coffee of course.

    Edit to add:

    A1 Bakery is further up Sydney Rd, but they are a Lebanese/Middle Eastern bakery, I think they generally do savoury pastry items and bakery goods. Large venue, so plenty of places to sit, but tends to very busy because they are so fkn good 🤤

    Wild Life Bakery tends to be more bread and cheese, but they also do some nice baked goods as well. I think they are off Lygon St, but there is a Superette on Sydney Rd iirc.

        My eye just caught A1 bakery and I second that place. There’s one in Fairfield and it’s best if you just want to grab some food.

        They do a nutella bagel as well which is really nice
