Wood Frog Bakery

3.5
Couldn’t resist popping into Woodfrog for some sweet treats for the afternoon. We originally had our eye on the babka in the window but these were insanely expensive so just grabbed a blueberry danish and a date scone instead. The blueberry danish was ok but we’ve had such good danishes elsewhere recently and this one just didn’t stack up to those. The date scone was the highlight and was simply delicious. We ate it slightly heated with melted butter and really enjoyed.

Came across Woodfrog Bakery today on our grocery shopping expedition. I was instantly attracted to the carb content of this glassed front shop and came back for a second viewing grabbing one of their date scones and a couple of bagels to have with a chicken noodle soup tonight. The scone was a delicious addition to my afternoon cuppa and though fresh I loved it slightly heated with butter. There was a large range of, dare I say artisan breads which looked glorious.

Loaves of bread were around $8 while baguettes $5 and bagels $2.50. Will be back to try more as sooo much better than supermarket fresh. Judging by the number of locals in store I assume they agree.

Best bakery brand in Melbourne for me. Tried the Kew store and the bread obviously comes from the exact same place as the Doncaster outlet. Kew also has a bread slicer in store which is important for me.

The bread at Woodfrog Bakery, specifically the sourdough varieties, are definitely worth splurging your carb quota on. It has been my weekend haunt for the past several weeks. This time, however, I decided to try the fruit loaf. It was dense as a brick (in a good way) and loaded with figs; apricots; small scattering of raisins and an aromatic orange blossom scent. If I was a character in an Enid Blyton story, I would have eaten this fruit loaf for morning tea with 'lashings of butter' and a jam jar filled with hot tea.
