Once you get over the line and how busy it is here, all in your life will improve! What a location and what delivery of quality food. Love it love it love it.

It’s a small-ish takeaway bakery on William Street just opposite Hyde Park, and being a Sunday afternoon, I didn’t imagine that they would have a fully stocked cabinet, but it was lovely to see some exquisite options in there. Their signature choux puffs were available in raspberry and lychee flavour and matcha green tea and yuzu. Beautiful eclairs in burnt honey and praline flavours, and wonderful slices of vanilla and orange, and chocolate mousse.
You never fail at this little cozy store, whatever you choose, either fresh cakes, sweet or savory bread. Fresh cakes are my favorite, delicately made and they add new menus regularly. Sweet bread and doughnuts are a bit too sweet side for me but it makes a great match with the coffee which is reasonably bitter. The staff is cheerful and i would recommend you to drop by before strolling Hyde Park.
Their bread was phenomenal. Would definitely return. However I didn’t enjoy the salted caramel doughnut as much. The doughnut itself was nice but the filling was not as good. But overall a very nice place
Really nice bakery with in store made pastries, it’s always really busy because of how good it is, recommend the croissants as the pastries are super fluffy and flakey
Food: amazing. Location to home: excellent. Popularity: excessive. Coffee: ok but slow. Overall, great for food but not for coffee.
These guys are so awesome. Their tarts to their doughnuts are freaking amazing. Coffee is nice too. They also do rolls for breakky. Grab something and sit in the nice park.
What a gem?! Everything about this place is amazing! I love going very early in the morning and watch the hustle and bustle in the kitchen, it wakes me up! Their pastries, toasts, sweets and coffees are all made to perfection. Their almond croissants are the best in the world! I'm yet to try their lunch baguettes, they look pretty amazing in the pictures. This place is extremely busy especially on weekends, people have to queue up outside the shop and parking can get a bit tricky. I hope they open a branch in SOR :)
I love this place. They make beautiful pastries with interesting flavours. I usually go here to get a box of treats for someone as a gift. It’s always packed so don’t go here if you’re in a rush.
The best bakery! Extremely well balanced with flavours, great selection. Fantastic coffee and the hot chocolate with earl grey is a personal favourite.
The staff are consistent and very friendly!
Guess I have to hop on the 5 star bandwagon here because this place is amazing. It's the smallest cutest takeaway cafe with a prime location bordering hyde park. The best part is that they dont overcharge you for the location, as everything was quite cheap even. Highly recommend the iced latte on a hot day (and only $5!!) and the lychee and raspberry puff. Service was amazing as well, theres no wonder this place was packed out. Also biocups #creationcare
Absolutely love this place. I come here so often for my sweet treats. Worth it every time.
I always visit in the early hours of the morning to avoid the queues :)
I read an article about Chu Bakery on a magazine a while back. This well-known and successful store was set up by a couple who weren’t professional patissiers by trade. Being a keen self-taught baker myself I thought I must try out this place! I’m glad I finally had the opportunity to visit the bakery today. Got there at 2pm on a Sunday afternoon and the queue was extending beyond the door - goes to show how popular they are. Service was quick and i didn’t wait long. The choux puffs were definitely winners. Keen to return to try out other desserts as well as their bread. Well-deserved 4.9 on Zomato I reckon!
Dropped by for the 1st time into this lil bakery and it wasnt a disappointment.I ordered x2 coffees and a matcha yuzu chu puff,very generous filling of matcha creme and inside the puff theres a yuzu jelly.the chu puff is well balanced i really enjoyed it and also the coffees were great definitely be back to try the lychee flavour.
This place is always full of people queuing for their delicious bakery. The bakery is just right across hyde park. The sign is really small, so it might be a bit tricky to find this place. But remember this, it’s just around the corner, and people are always queuing in front of it 😉
Love love love Chu! The best pastries in Perth. I’ve tried most of the pastries here and they are all delicious! The toast/baguettes/cakes are also really yummy :)
Love the puffs
Love the pastries
Love the coffee
Love the crazy long queues
Love walking across the road to Hyde Park for a little picnic as I enjoy my purchases
When we arrived the line was out the door but it moved very quickly! Staff were so happy and pleasant to deal with and the food was amazing!! We tried a cinnamon donut, chocolate croissant, ham & cheese toastie, matcha cream puff and of course coffee. All the treats were amazing but the best was by far the matcha cream puff! Would 100% recommend Chu bakery.
Finally I managed to try their puff both matcha and raspberry. Now I know why this bakery was so crowded in the early morning when I came. They had the best matcha puff. I am usually a bit worried with dessert sold in Au since they usually taste too sweet for me. This matcha puff is a different thing. The matcha flavour was strong yet in the right amount so I could enjoy its bitterness. The sweetness was just right. One thing that I disliked was the jelly thing inside the puff. I am actually not sure what it was but it looked like a jelly which was way too sweet. It burdened the whole taste of the puff. The raspberry cream had similar amount of sweetness. It was light and not too sweet. The puff itself was crunchy and perfectly suited the cream. I wish they opened their store in brisbane.
Popped into Chu and purchased some delicious pastries, which included a coconut croissant, salted caramel doughnut and lemon cheesecake. I understand why the place was so busy because the food is delicious !!
Cute little bakery with some delicious and unique pastries & sweet treats on offer. Was hard to choose when everything looked so appealing, but settled on a custard filled eclair (delicious) and a classic cinnamon donut (pretty good). Staff were friendly and the location across the road from Hyde Park is great if you want somewhere scenic to scoff down your treat (as we did). Will definitely be back to try some of their other offerings.

YES! amazing. Despite the line, service is fast/you get your stuff quick. I ordered the three flavours available and the raspberry was my favourite and I would keep coming back to get it. Wasn't a fan of the matcha but I think that's more because I generally don't like the fishiness of matcha. The brown/?caramel?hazelnut was good/second place but the raspberry was still miles ahead.
Make sure to stop by here, I think the hype was well placed :P
This is a nice little cafe with a great range of pastries to go with coffee. I had the matcha and raspberry cream puffs which were both really nice and made really well. Seating is limited inside and outside the cafe but there is a nice park across the road for you to enjoy your treats!
One of my favorites spots in Perth! It is located near a lovely park, so you can grab your coffee and some of their fantastic desserts and go to the park to enjoy them with a view.
On a Sunday morning, we've decided to go to Chu Bakery.
There were loads of people standing outside waiting for their coffee. We ordered the apple lattice, green tea puff, almond croissant and the salted caramel doughnut.
It's good desserts. But it's on the pricey side for Perth.
Can understand why they have a high rating! Their pastry are one of the best in Perth! Super friendly staff and a nice cosy setting of a little corner shop. They mainly do takeaway coffee, as Hyde park is just opposite so people normally buy some pastry and coffee and walk across there. Their signature green tea chu puff IS A MUST TRY! Their croissants ( I had the kaya and almond croissant) are the best! If it’s near my suburb I would definitely go there every week!
Popped by this bakery on the weekend to find it very busy. Picked up a few of their signature choux puffs and a hazelnut eclair to munch on at the Hyde park just opposite the bakery. My favourite was the hazelnut chocolate puff even though I thought I’ll like the matcha yuzu one the most. The eclair was good but nothing to rave about. The desserts here was not overly sweet and definitely a nice occasional treat to have
The matcha yuzu chu puff was AMAZING. The matcha is the right amount of bitterness and it has a jellied yuzu core which just complements so so well. Never imagined such a combination to work but Chu aced it! Also LOVED the burnt honey eclair. It was bursting with creamy burnt honey filling and super yummy! Would definitely be back to try more items!
A must try if you are look for good coffee and desserts. Located next to the beautiful Hyde park, strongly recommend having your coffee and cake next to the lake,
The Kaya and Coconut croissant was a winner, reminded me of my childhood times when my family and I would go to Northbridge just to visit this little Chinese bun shop and would always get the pineapple buns with the filling inside and a little bit of coconut icing on the top. The croissant at Chu was lovely and crunchy and one of the best tasting croissant I've ever had! Good combination of French pastry with an Asian twist!
Hubby had the cinnamon doughnut and it was ok, he said he's had better elsewhere.
The place was packed with people in the morning when we arrived. Everything we bought were so tasty and delicious I'd definitely go back for more!
Stylish and on trend, Chu Bakery seems to know its clientele well. Its shelves are bursting with tasty morsels and sweet delights. Often a go to spot in the Mt Lawley/ Highgate neighbourhood, be prepared to wait for food and coffee. Food also tends to be on the pricey side.
This place was pumping on Saturday morning. I can see and taste why! The cabinets are full of delicious treats and gourmet toasties. We got great coffees, a raspberry lychee filled chu ball, almond raspberry croissant and a Boston cream donut. The croissant was the best but everything was tasty! Bad pic sorry the donut and chu ball got messed up in the box as we walked over to the park across the street - what a nice way to enjoy these yummies 🙂
Small cafe but size doesnt matter when you have hydepark as your backyard. Matcha latte to die for and their bakery goods are delicious! Perfect spot for mumma gatherings or family day out.
Amazing range of desserts. Cream puffs are amazing and the donuts are also worth a try. Especially love the lychee cream puff. Can busy at times but worth the wait.

I've been to this bakery many times now but I can't believe I never left a review on it, haha. Anyways here it is now.
It is situated in a great location just beside a park with a great view. I always get the croissants from here, mainly almond. I've tried the raspberry croissant as well. But the best among all the flavors they have to offer is the almond. Crunchy, flaky and very delicious. It is a pain while eating it that all the almonds fall off because the pastry is so crunchy and flaky but that's just a minor complaint. It does taste amazing. The raspberry croissant taste good but not as good as the almond. It's got a bit of sourness to it so if you like that flavor then this croissant is for you, I actually don't mind the taste at all but almond croissant is my personal favorite.
Yesterday morning was the first time I had their Smashed Avocado on Sourdough. I know this is quite a popular item from this joint. I can say that it does taste absolutely delicious. The Sourdough Toast is fresh and the Smashed Avocado goes will with the goats cheese. The hint of sweet chilli sauce drizzled on top of the toast gives it an excellent flavor boost as I was eating it.
Their coffees are not bad. I've only had the Chai Latte from here and it's good. It tastes very sour at first but the sweetness kicks in as you keep sipping it. My mum has had the hot chocolate from here but she wasn't a big fan of it, she's had better.
Overall an excellent bakery located in Highgate that gives great coffee and delicious breakfast food. My go2 place for croissants if Im in the area. The croissants are a bit expensive but the coffees are reasonably priced. Next time I come here, I've got to try the matcha latte puff.
Every time I come here it is a delight. I especially like the Chu puffs in matcha and the raspberry flavour. I've also tried their almond croissants which were divine as well as their donuts. Everything tastes so good and is definitely worth the price.
Chu puffs to die for, CROnuts are on point here, cold brew coffee is really nice and I don't even like coffee. Cute little cafe on the corner across Hyde park where you can enjoy your treats. One of the best bakeries in Perth!
The coffee needs improvement but the pastries are to die for! I've returned many times for the doughnuts, puffs and eclairs. The interior is small but right across the road is Hyde Park.
Absolutely love this place for their desserts! The raspberry chu puff is a winner for me. I also love their lemon tarts & their eclairs. Their donuts are fluffy and not overly sugary which is a nice change. Highly recommended. Being convienently across the road to Hyde park makes it a good place to get food & have a little picnic!
- Love the Matcha Chu Puff and strawberry tarts
- Coffee is ok
- Iced Matcha latte is a bit bitter - it's just my personal preference
- a tad pricey but it reflects on the quality
this place is my all time favorite bakery/dessert takeout bakery
love their lemon and cream tart, montebello, eclair and matcha yuzu cream puff.
My best friend and I were headed to Perth for a quick weekend getaway. I decided to see what all the hype was about and was pleasantly surprised at how tasty the cream puffs were! Being a huge fan of donuts I was glad that the texture was light and fluffy and that the sugar content wasn't overbearing! Highly recommend this place!
This review is based on one product only that deserves a 5.0 all on its own.
Chu's matcha yuzu cream puff is simply out of this world sensational! Crisp on the outside and soft in the middle, stuffed with a generous dollop of matcha cream and yuzu jam, it was every bit as good as the Insta photos. And at $5.50, it's not too heavy on the wallet either.
Chu uses a lot of Asian ingredients. The bakery is beyond tiny and all the customers who squeezed in there on this rainy day were Asian, which to me, speaks volumes for the calibre of Chu's products and artistry. Lots of staff too, pumping out freshly-baked goods and brewing lots of takeaways. Service is quick and friendly. On a nice day, cross the road to Hyde Park and pig out under a giant tree 👌

Great and very busy popular bakery across from Hyde Park. There is always a line out the door here so I recommend getting in early. The best croissants in Perth! The baguette sandwiches are also a favorite for picnic lunch, think prosciutto, camembert and balsamic glaze.
This place was amazing. Between my wife and I, we had the ham and cheese toastie, salted caramel doughnut, almond croissant, nuts about chu, and a couple of coffees. We didn't go wrong with a single choice but I have to take my hat off to the nuts about chu, a gorgeous looking pastry with peanut butter and salted caramel on a short bread type base; an absolute delight to eat.
It's a small shop with no seating inside, but Hyde Park is directly across the street with plenty of space to enjoy the goods.
It's an alright kind of bakery. No seating area though. Would've been nice if there is but there's a park just across where my friends and I sat to indulge the goodness. I like that the cakes weren't too sweet and the matcha flavour of the matcha cake isn't too dominating so can still taste the bread. The raspberry ones need more flavour though. I just find it kinda weird that the inside bit has got gelatin but I guess that's their style.

Great bread and soy cap!! Service with a smile. Worth the wait, but be great if they could open a dine in! Thanks Chu for a yummy healthy lunch.
You can tell the owners are perfectionists. All food coming out of their kitchen consistently amazing. Be quick as they tend to sell out of their sourdough bread quickly.
Recommend everything...especially their humus cucumber and chilli toast.
super awesome place...i'm not so much for the sweet stuff but i love the sandwiches, especially the ham and brie baguettes!! simple and uncomplicated and delicious, love it toasted!!!
I am definitely in love with Chu bakery! I have tried a variety of their desserts that include raspberry chu puff, matcha chu puff, strawberry and cream tart, salted caramel doughnut, hazelnut praline eclair and last but not least their matcha soft serve ice cream. Chu bakery definitely always have me craving for more of their desserts and always having the desire of wanting to visit them again! It is a small cafe with no dine in tables. Probably a good idea to bring along your own picnic mat and head across to the park to have your chu puffs.
I am a huge fan of matcha, anything matcha really! There are
lots of places but not many served it well. Chu is one of my favourite, the
pastry is divine, light and not too sweet and the matcha is really to die for. I
have been here a few times and always ended up ordering the matcha yuzu chu
puff. The other ones that I would recommend would be the eclairs, donuts, almond croissants
and their individual mousse cakes. Do not forget to have a coffee with your
sweet as their coffees are pretty good too!
Best sourdough ever🍞 and excellent matcha puff! Lacked a bit of flavour in the iced matcha latte though. However, I got a soy one so maybe the dairy milk one is better. My brother got the toastie and said it was reallyy good too. The bread here is hands down the best I've had so far in Perth.
Absolutely love this place! Everything is super delicious, with one of my favourites being the almond croissant. Quick service and friendly staff. Great location too as you can order coffee and eats and head over to the beautiful Hyde Park.
Love this place! Bit on the pricey side for the pastries and doughnuts, but it's well worth it as they taste amazing and looks so pretty. Coffee is great too. Definitely recommend.
Chu is one of the best bakeries in Perth.
I have been a few times and it never disappoints. Notably the almond croissant is so tasty and the donuts are excellent.
It can get pretty busy with lines out the door sometimes but the line moves pretty quick.

Came here a couple of times and was never disappointed. First off, the very well-known & photogenic + instagramworthy cream puffs. Love love loveee the cream puffs and think it's their best pastry. The matcha cream puff especially is divine and you'll love it even more if you're a matcha fan like me. Next, the well-favourited salted caramel donuts!! It taste real good but I guess I'm alright cause I'm not too much of a salted caramel fan. From what I've heard from my salted caramel fanatic friends, they'd say it's one of the best and must-try pastry in Chu. Moving on, the lemon curd tart - so so good and the crust was so delicate & crispy. The croissant however was alright. Not much wow-factor to it and I guess I tasted better. The coffee was alright as well. But it really depends, the time I had it it was so-so.
Food aside, this little gem is located in a lovely location - right beside Hyde park, which explains the countless tumblr and instagramworthy pictures set to be made!
Don't set way too high expectations tho as this place is quite overrated. Anyway overall one of my fav pastry places and wouldn't mind coming again & again!
Chu bakery is a cute corner bakery filled with beautiful and sweet smelling pastry, staffs are very friendly and once you step in the aroma and the atmosphere is welcoming
It's a best place to grab a few and head to the park across the place and relax and munch away on your yummy pastries
Beautiful, cute and yummy
Good price and good variety of dessert. A good bakery/patisserie in Highgate area.
Get your pastry and enjoy it in the park across from it :)
Pastries, tarts, donuts and coffee are all amazing! Love it all. My favourite would have to be the matcha puff tho. I love green tea so it really suits me. Their toasted sandwiches are also worth mentioning. Goodness knows what they do to them to make them taste so good. Yum.
Extremely impressed. The tiny cafe has no seating which is actually amazing - people wait outside to receive their meal and then cross the road to enjoy it amongst nature at Hyde park! It is so nice!!! Lots of people lining up, this place is popular! The food is great. The toast is amazing. Love the hummus and chilli and cucumber. Also had a croissant which was to die for. Prices were fair!! I hope they remain very popular because they deserve it. Only tip for them to remains interesting is pehaps change the menu every so often of add new ones things occasionally - this will keep customers interested ! The standard stuff you have now is amazing but occasionally changing it I think will help in future !
The best dessert bakery so far! Perfect location for a leisure dog walking with your morning tea sorted! Their signatures which are matcha puff and strawberry tarts are my all time favourite! And they are not too sweet at all! :)
I've been here about 7-10 times and have loved the baked goods every time.
Of particular note is the avocado, whipped feta and chilli sauce toast which is reasonably filling and delightfully tasty. The salty, spicy flavours with the creaminess of the avocado is not to be missed!
I've also had the hummus, cucumber and chilli toast which is almost as amazing!
I've had the matcha yuzu (matcha flavoured cream + crunchy pastry + yuzu jelly) which is fantastic for any matcha lover.
My partner loves the chilli passionfruit doughnut (chilli + passionfruit filling) presenting a good mix of spicy and sweet, unexpected but good.
The brioche donut was also light and delicious.
There's not too much in the way of sitting or parking but there are plenty of people (including myself) who head over to Hyde Park, sit down with a picnic blanket or on the chairs and watch the world go by.
The coffee, chai latte and matcha lattes are good as well.
It's a place you will go time and time again!
It's unfortunate that this place is tiny - not suitable for tea and pastries to dine in, however their selections of baked goods is awesome. I had the salted caramel donut = divine, party in my mouth! My matcha latte was equally as good. Chu Bakery is a must for your afternoon fix (or any time really) to grab a coffee and pastry (or two) then cross the road to sit in the beautiful Hyde park and devour your goodies.
The smell of sweet pastries and the aroma of coffee hits you when you first enter the cafe. It's a small bakery, but it has a lot of dainty pastries.
FOOD :
The picture below is their raspberry and lychee cream puff. It's too beautiful to eat it, but I have no regrets as it's so good. It's not too sweet which I like. I will definitely come back again to try their other sweets!!!
Amazing chilli passion fruit Donuts. In fact everything here is delicious. Everything is so fresh. By the amount of people queuing I think they just keep cooking.
Cute little bakery opposite a park, I went and had the matcha cream puff and enjoyed the pastry and cream. It had a jelly inside which I wasn't expecting, I didn't really like the jelly but other than that the puff really hit my sweet tooth. Service was really fast despite it being quite busy and the store was really clean.
We came here on a Tuesday arvo, and woah was it packed. It was so crowded and there was so much people is such a small space. This was a huge indication that the food here would be awesome. I ordered the kaya and coconut almond croissant, it was good but a little dry. I looked underneath and it was well and truly burnt. The flavours were there but it was really dry. I was hoping it would've be more moist. My friend ordered the salted caramel doughnut, the matcha pastery and the berry croissant along with the matcha ice tea. She says the doughnut was very good. I tried her matcha ice tea and I personally didn't like it. It was too bitter for me.
Considering how nicely presented the food was, it was a little pricey. Overall I would come back here again to try the other pasteries because they looked delicious!
What a little gem! When I walked in I couldnt believe how clean and tidy the place was, the layout of the shop fit out and food was almost clinical, i loved it. Everything looked fresh and tasty so I grabbed a boston donut and a raspberry almond croissant Ooops! Donut was very light and delicious. The croissant was amazing too, packed full of flavour and very delicate. The addition of slight dusting of the red colour was a cool touch. It's not really a dine in type of place with 4-5 seats available inside but with Hyde Park across the street you cant go wrong. Fantastic joint
Outstanding pastry. Highly talented group of patisserie /bakers with a passion for creating unique flavour combinations. While the flavours not quite my cup of tea, the quality and workmanship speaks for itself.
Wasnt sure if I am a sheep 🐑 for wanting try this place just because of the insane queuing I've seen on a couple of drive-by's.
But no turns out its insanely fresh and delicious! Toasties, pastries, tartlets and amazing sourdough breads. The wipped Avo & feta is genuinely a perfect toastie as the bread is just pure joy. The coffee is good too , strong and full of flavours ! Don't think you'll be dissapointed with this one and its a nice treat being able to sit in the park and indulge!!!
I tried the matcha puff and really enjoyed it. Inside the puff is Yuzu jelly. I will buy the pastries and go over to Hyde park, which was just opposite the bakery, to enjoy the view while enjoying the pastry.
Good pastries. Had the chocolate eclair, strawberries and cream tart & the coconut Kaya croissant. Love the "strawberries & cream" tart. 😁👍🏼
Fresh, Clean, Delicious and friendly staff. Always busy and always need to queue up, but still happy to do that here. Every thing was so nice & I don't know what to have for breakfast. Coffee was great. Sourdough baguette highly recommended.
The donuts here are divine! Every time I go there is a line out the door of people waiting to get a coffee and a delectable baked delight. I love love the salted caramel donut and the passionfruit and chilli one too (Can't go past the Boston Cream donut either 😉). Fantastic place to stop for a treat and then take it for a stroll around Hyde Park.
The pastries are a delicious delights absolute best for its money's worth. Took some home to surprise the boys. I would go back for refills soon
Awesome pastries. Really enjoyed the brioche donut. Good eclair. Coffee is good and they have matcha lattee too. Always excited to come here and try their new selections.
THE FOOD
Its amazing. Normally sticking with their baguettes where simplicity is the key and the quality of the bread shines through. Maybe i'd like a little more flavour and substance from their baguettes but that's being picky. Today I tried the Avo, whipped fetta and chili and was not disappointed. Everything was executed right, from the chili that doesn't burn but numbs your lips to the chewiness of the bread i was very happy. The balance of avocado and feta was spot on too
THE SERVICE
Friendly staff and no complaints there. Wait time for the Avo was excessive pushing around 25 mins until my name was called but i was happy to wait.
BOTTOM LINE
Nothing else they could improve on really. Just a good bakery turning out good food and coffee. American Express not accepted :(
This place is awesome! Always a huge line no matter the time of day but their pastries are worth the wait! If only the venue was a little bigger!
In terms of the dough itself: best brioche donuts in Perth. But need more flavor combos to really compete with Top Dup for Perth's best donut. I guess they do do more than doughies but haven't really tried anything else.
This place is the bomb! So busy on a Sunday morning that you can barely get in the door, but worth it for the amazing pastries and sweets, I want to try all of them, they look divine! Croissants, choux puffs and tarts are all delicious.
Amazing homemade almond milk latte! Fresh and delicious sourdough bread, and tasty pastries and doughnuts. This is my go-to takeaway coffee place when I visit Hyde Park!
Chu never fails to disappoint. The coffee is consistently great. The bread is amazing but sells out really early on the weekends. Favourites are the chilli avo toast and passionfruit chilli donuts. I flipping love this place.
Tried the raspberry lychee Chu puff, doughnut and croissant. Everything was really really good. Went at 830 on a Sunday and didn't have to queue which was great. Service is very average but I guess nobody's there for the service.
With a big queue of people hanging outside the small Chu Bakery, once you taste their creations, you know what all the fuss is about. I got the matcha yuzu which presents a most delicious green tea flavoured cream on a crunchy pastry which has a yuzu jelly inside for a change in texture. So yum. I also got a Boston cream bun which was a doughnut filled with a lovely rich creamy vanilla custard with a chocolate top, and I also got a chilli passionfruit doughnut which was dusted with chilli and filled with a gooey passionfruit filling which was delicious. Excellent way to start the day, serving coffee and a range of pastries that are so naughty but very satisfying.
I love their range of pastries and desserts which incorporates a lot of Asian flavours. Their coffee is amazing and they are not too expensive.
tried the matcha yuzu puff, and gotta say they do make really good choux pastry! i had a cappuccino and my partner had the chai latte, both were a little weak though which was a pity..
I happen to bump into a review facebook and decide to drop by but on a late weekend arvo, close to closing time. All was left was a crossiant and a chili lime filled donut. I bought them anyway to try and it taste heavenly good!! Will be back to try more items soon!
the pastries here are very decadent & a little pricey in my opinion, so it's definitely a treat! the praline eclair was packed with a praline custard (tastes like hazelnuts) and topped with a rich chocolate sauce. the strawberry & cream tart was also very sweet but very small for $5.50! the pastry was soft & flaky and the cream was delicious & gooey.
Finally got my butt to Chu this morning, been dying to check it out forever. The bakery is teeny and minimalistic with so many gorgeous treats on display. Love that you can see the pastries and bread being made too while you wait. Ordered a coffee and a Tuna Baguette for lunch and also grabbed a Matcha Cream Puff for later. The baguette was absolutely divine. The bread was so fresh and crunchy. I wanted more. The combo of flavoured tuna with onion and greens was simple and so good. Can't wait til my next one! The coffee was a little bit of a disappointment if I'm being honest. I felt like they'd over heated the milk and it was a little bit curdled, ugh. Granted they were busy but still. Matcha Puff made up for the coffee though, it was so delicate and lovely. The matcha was subtle and just enough. So good!
Thoroughly impressed at the efficient service here particularly considering the constant long queue. Also really impressed that on a Sunday at 12.30pm - 1.30pm, they were still making fresh pastries and constantly restocking almost all the items on offer. It's so good when it's NOT a "first come first served at 8am" situation.
Nothing to fault on the pastries - fresh, crunchy pastry and unexpected flavours. Will definitely be back in summer!
Cute little place. Love the croissant and donut, coffees good, chai latte uses real leaf. Not too sweet, just the right amount of sugar will make your day. Definitely will come back for another one!
Chu Bakery is opposite the beautiful Hyde Park and offers a variety of great treats, both sweet and savoury, for you to indulge in while you watch the swans glide across the water.
The plain croissant was one of best croissants I’ve had since I visited Paris (and that’s saying something!). I also ordered an iced latte which I found to be very refreshing and flavourful. I really recommend that you check this place out!
Loved the food and coffee. It was worth waiting in line for, although the line moved pretty quickly. The Toasties were warm and great in the winter. I enjoyed eating them at Hyde Park just opposite the bakery.

We were in Hyde Park walking around and decided to pick some stuff up here for a small snack picnic. It was about 1330 and there was a line out the door and along Lincon Street, mostly due to the limited number of people who are able to go in as well as the number of people wanting to go in. I went to get stuff while everyone else waited in the park. The people on the William Street side are waiting for coffee so don't mind them.
We already had lunch so I was excited in picking up something sweet since that was something they're supposed to be good for. It was quite disappointing that the cabinet was almost empty. There was a selection of savoury sandwiches but there were only the lemon tart and doughnuts left. The last 2 eclairs were annoyingly taken by the person in front of me. It was a Sunday so that could be why everything was already sold out but it was disappointing since they were supposed to open until 1600.
Don't get me wrong, the strawberry tart was really tasty. The pastry was really short and crumbly and the custard inside was really creamy and had a good vanilla flavour, but I was wanting to try their other dessert like the croissant, cream puffs or eclairs.
It might be worth coming early if you were wanting to try the place to avoid disappointment.
Insane bakery with sometimes insane queues. Managed to get here early on a Sunday morning to beat some of that queue. Ordered a lot so apologies to the people behind me.
The queues are justified. They probably need a bigger place to service the people.
Get here if you can. The queue does move pretty quick to be honest.
Doughnuts here were super fluffy filled with yummy fillings. Ham cheese Croissant slightly underwhelming, but perhaps it’ll be nicer if you could heat it up. Pear Danish pastry was refreshing.
Good food and coffee. It’s better to go there early. Great way to grab a to go and sit at the park to kick of the day.
There was a queue even when we went at 9, but it will only keep you waiting for a few minutes and the pastries are worth it. Everything was wonderful but we especially enjoyed the salted caramel doughnut (sweetness is just Perfect )and the plain croissant.
First time visiting this beautiful bakery after my friend Olga highly recommended to visit.
Certainly worth the wait, do not let the queue put you off.
Friendly & very welcoming.
Donuts are absolutely delicious, highly recommend the salted caramel & jam Donuts.
Coffee very nice too.
Definitely will be back soon.
Also lovely park opposite to relax & enjoy your goodies
Highly recommend
