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!
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
