Great ambiance, friendly staff and amazing cakes makes this bakery a must visit in Geelong. We came across this little gem not knowing what they had to offer yet decided to give it a go.
We grabbed a slice of banana bread, berry and yoghurt and carrot cake for takeaway. To our surprise they were all delicious as they were light, fluffy and not too sweet. The banana bread was a winner for us.
Can’t wait to return to try their various range of cakes, muffins, tarts, macaroons and pastries.
This cafe has a great ambiance, with old timber chairs and recycled timber tables inside and a cool reused garbage skip as their outdoor seating area. The service is friendly, efficient and patient as you choose from the many yummy looking cakes, muffins, brownies and cookies.
We had the carrot cake which was well balanced and generous in serve, accompanied by a good coffee.
We highly recommend James St Bakery.

James street bakery cafe is authentic. The cakes, slices and tarts you see behind the counter haven’t been mass produced offsite frozen then thawed like some of the big boys in Melbourne.
We came here for breakfast I choosing the cheesy toast, bacon & poachies while KD chose the classic avo feta combo, both with coffee.
Coffee was Genovese which has been one of my long time enduring favourites (used to buy beans direct from the factory on Moreland road) and was of a suitably strength for the mug sized serve I needed. A good thing for almond and soy milk drinkers too as I’ve found this blend doesn’t cause the separation/curdling that some more acidic blends of coffee (like Vittoria).
My cheesy toast was delicious and bacon was at the top end of quality too which made the meal all the more enjoyable.
Note this cafe has set breakfast and lunch times so early brunchers will need to choose off the breakfast menu (until 11am) and late brunchers the lunch menu (from 11am). I didn’t test how flexible this was.
