My party of three enjoyed our drinks with a donut, a chicken leek sausage roll and a vegan pie. Each very tasty. Side note: We did wonder if they need better table flags? Wait staff seemed to have trouble finding which tables had ordered several items!

Can I just say your pumpkin bread is the best I have ever had in my life. My father who comes from New Zealand to visit us doesn't want anything else apart from that the first day he arrives now. Every. Trip !

This is the Winterfell of bakeries- homely, honest, good quality bread, the inside is timeless ,nothing unnecessary just comfortable solid timber furniture to sit down and enjoy your food ,drink etc, I've tried most things from this bakery and everything has been delicious, it's a little pricy but I'd much rather pay an extra $2 and get fantastic quality

Ambience: Friendly locals mostly.

My score 3.5 stars.  Called in here when J & I took our dog CC to the nearby vet.  In a bit of a hurry & SK was pretty hectic (Sat am), so just picked up a Rye, Caraway & Walnut loaf.  Never seen this combo before & love C or W separately, so paid the $7 for a reasonably small loaf.  It was ok but lacked the wow factor to justify the price IMO (pretty stiff competition at this price point).  Small selection of meals/lunch items available - will have to come back on a quiet day when we have more time...

Perfectly crafted small spot designed for catching a quick bite or takeaway.
Although there wasn't much options the sandwich was well balance and light to eat! Coffee was great and service friendly :)
Highly recommended !!

This bakery is my favourite little brekky place in the West. Great service, and the food is to die for! Please, try their 'brekky burger' and 'ham, cheese, tomato toasted croissant'. You won't be disappointed. 10/10.

Not the cheapest bread, but definitely the best quality bread in Seddon. Try the Chedder Chilli Sourdough Loaf, the Corn Bread and the Pumpkin Bread, to die for! They also have a selection of gelato and sorbet, they make great gourmet lunches too.

With the word "sourdough" featured prominently in the name of the cafe, I couldn't leave without buying a loaf of bread home. It also helped that there was a steady stream of customers coming in and leaving with a loaf of bread in their hands, some even leaving with multiple loaves. I was certainly impressed with the pumpkin loaf I bought. It stayed chewy and crusty for 3 days (after which I finished it all), it had a distinct and intense pumpkin flavour, topped with loads of pepitas that went flying everywhere whenever I sliced into it, and possessed a subtle sour aftertaste that you would expect from a sourdough bread. Absolutely loved it. It made up for the lacklustre almond croissant we had dining in. It wasn't buttery nor was it flaky enough, it was actually a bit hard. The vanilla custard cronut was much better; the custard was fragrant and not too sweet and the cronut was overall quite light. We had no issues with the coffee - the skinny latte was balanced and smooth; just that the glass it was served in had a lipstick stain on it. They replaced it quickly without questions, but with no apologies either. A bit of a hit and miss, though I will most likely be back for the gelato.

Ended up havung brunch here by chance due to everything being closed. An absolute gem this was! We ordered the chicken sandwich toasted. The best snadwhich I have had in a long time. The lamb pie was also delicious with the flakey puff pastry that melts in your mouth. The coffee is also one of the best I have had. Definitely worth a visit!

Great bread, great sweet options, great service, great local business with no frills, other than simple good quality food/drinks. They deliver bread paid forward by clients for the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre. I also randomly saw one of the staff giving a free coffee to the Big Issue vendor on a cold windy day.

Not a fan of the pastries here as the sourdough croissant and the sourdough almond and cherry Danish were too stodgy for my liking. Would be better if the dough was more buttery or flakey in texture. On the other hand, I commend Sourdough Kitchen for their interesting loaves such as the Beetroot and hazelnut sourdough. The bread was pleasantly crusty on the outside and was nicely chewy on the inside. The 100% rye had a wonderful taste too, but the texture was too dense and I found it so hard to cut the loaf. Overall, items here are good but some are better than others!

This is a small bakery with a nice selection of sweet and savoury food, breads, pastries and even ice-cream.

I have a weakness for hot pastries. If they are well made, I will be happy. The sausage roll was lovely, with a huge filling, moist and great taste. One of the best sausage rolls ever. The lentils pie was lovely, tasty and filling, earthy. The Moroccan lamb was delicious with big chunks of meat and a great flavour. The pastry is good and stands the microwave without getting soggy or deflated, but it is not heavy or floury. Very happy.

Coffee is well prepared and medium strength, a bit milky for me, but good enough.

The Sour cherry danish is the least danish danish I have ever tasted. It tasted good, but I thought that was not a danish or not a good one.

Their vegan pizza was good regarding flavour, more than I expected, but very dry. You know, the Italians have always a cruet with chilly oil or just good olive oil to sprinkle dry pizzas, and I thought my pizza al taglio needed some moisture to make it more delicious.

Some of he staff are very very lovely and welcoming, and others are not, like last time I visited.

Patrons of all ages, plenty of youngsters around.

The place is very small, but it has character, it is cozy and great for a quick fix.

An upgraded sort of bakery, way nicer than your average one, but not really gourmet. I'll be back for the hot pastries.

Mind., two room-temperature pies to take away cost 14 bucks. They are lovely, but hey, I consider those prices ABUSIVE.

PS/ They have recently changed the layout of the cafe and it looks better and accommodate customers better as well.

A little more upmarket than your average ‘local bakery’. Again I think it’s partially because the area has become ‘hip’ and they can get away with charging more.

Anyways, the food…. Let’s start with the bread as I’ve grabbed a few loaves to take home several times. They are good. Really good. The rye and pumpkin are my favourite. Now you’re paying around $5-$7 a loaf, but it’s fresh and delicious. Grab one on the day to make sandwiches for your lunch or something. Very tasty, great crumb, flavour and the exterior texture (the crust) is perfect.

I had a pork and fennel sausage roll for a bigger than normal morning tea. Fantastic! There is a lot of pork flavour coming through and I’d say they mince their own pork or buy it from a good local butcher. It’s not supermarket bought I can tell you that. I love fennel with pork and its mixed into the mince and there’s a few seeds on top as well. The pastry is nice and crisp, crunchy and short. Even better is the chutney they give you as well. It’s wonderfully delicious and has good texture, it’s not just some gooey thick 2-tone store bought chutney. It really sets the whole sausage roll off. Price… $6 for a sausage roll or $8 for a pie. It’s a little expensive in my book when you can get cheaper elsewhere but they are very nice. If you’re paying these prices you may as well pay the extra $3 and get their homemade slaw and make a meal of it (the prices are cheaper for takeaway).

The long black with milk on the side came out hot and milk not scolded. Good flavour of coffee, possible not the best blend I’ve had but still pretty good (I don’t remember what blend they use). It was strong which is good because I paid the extra $0.30 for a strong coffee. But bonus points for being presented nicely as pictured (the other pot is a college's tea).

I've never had any staff member be rude, they always have a smile.  They can appear a little impatient if your dawdling and its a busy period, but really that's probably to be expected. 

If your happy to spend the extra $ then go visit. Even if its once just to taste what a real sausage roll should taste like.  I think its a little overpriced or portions need to be bigger then it would be value for money (and get an extra 0.5 points). Then again if people in the area are happy to pay, then more power to them.

Love this place TO BITS. Best sourdough in town and all of the staff are my favourite people. Coffee can be iffy but the pumpkin bread and fresh salads are out of this world amazing. Its hard to say no to the rich flourless chocolate cake, not to mention all the delectable goodies on the selves/cabinet/windows. My lunch breaks at work are always made brighter thanks to sourdough kitchen. 
Word of warning; NEVER leave without a dark chocolate berry scroll. Its a vegan orgasm.

Sourdough Kitchen is exactly what the name suggests, a bakery that celebrates everything sourdough: white casalinga, hot cross buns to pizza bases. The sourdough croissants and the sausage rolls are raved about by the locals, but the repertoire also extends to brunch. Sourdough Kitchen doesn’t require fancy plating or trendy warehouse decor. It’s reliance is simply on the wholesome tasty food that the staff proudly present.

Updating my review because I ate there today purely on the fact that the plum jam croissant I bought yesterday was so damn nice! This morning I had the pumpkin toast with feta and avo. I always wish that the toast was thicker whenever I eat avo and feta but the bread was delicious and it came with half an avo. As always. I do adore their pumpkin bread. Only gripe is this - if I'm paying $13.50 for avo and feta - please be generous with both component not just one. Giving me half an avo and only a schmear of feta is not good enough. Or at least schmear the feta thickly.

Coffee still not good. But the croissants are better!


10 March 2015 - Coffee is ok - always tastes milky and a bit burnt. Pumpkin bread is good but croissants need work - very crusty outside, raw inside and bottom is charred. Not my favorite place to eat in Seddon.

Something different. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for something different. The pumpkin sourdough was so yummy even my friends were talking about it and asking where I got it from. I served it with room temperature butter and a bit of salt. Can't wait to try another loaf from here.

Good coffee and tasty food. Had breakfast here before work. Coffee is quite good, food is tasty. There was quite a rush for the coffees pre-work so best not to sit close to the door.
Looking forward to trying some of the other baked goods next time.
Was a little disappointed when I asked to have a coffee card stamped for the coffees we had with breakfast though the staff member told me no that is only for take away customers. No loyalty card stamps for customers that dine in and spend more confused me.

Great for catering!! Seriously is there anything this bunch can't do?? I'm a customer and a lover of Sourdough Kitchen, it's been great to see the business progress since it first opened a few years ago. I recently ordered some catering for a work function as I knew it would be yummy and I wanted to support a local business. The food was fantastic, all my clients loved it and raved about how yummy it all was! The service was friendly and efficient; I'd definietely order from them again and have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

First timer at Sourdough Kitchen.
Had the BLT which was fantastic.
Full of flavor and bread was perfect.
Not too big and not too small.
Coffee was spot on.
I like my coffee strong and this place had just the right blend without having to ask for an extra shot.
Seems these days most places make their coffee quite weak but this one was just right. I had 2 actually, and both were perfect.

Thumbs up for service too.
Dont know what the negative reviews re: service are all about. I found them very friendly.

A fine loaf. Sour Dough has been welcome addition to the Seddon village, they have established a good solid business based on two very important principles, excellent product & excellent service. Who says you have to be rude to be a hipster. These guys blow that theory out of the water. I applaud them for their great range of foods & the way they treat their customers. My favourite products from Sour Dough are the multi grain loaf, the pumpkin loaf & their mushroom pizza slices.

I have yet to find a place that is better. if you are somewhat like myself and enjoy the best in fresh produce, then go no other than the Sourdough Kitchen. The staff are all smiles, breakfast and lunch are divine, the coffee is Great and the atmosphere is inviting. If you come to eat in, be prepared to bring a loaf to share with the family when you come home.

Seddon Got Lucky. This place makes the best sourdough sandwiches in Melbourne. I used to think Dench Bakers (North Fitzroy) mastered their bread, but this joint will make them look like amateurs. The chef takes great pride in his food, so it's made with quality ingredients and served generously. All sandwiches are $8.50 and If I could get these sandwiches in the CBD, I'll have them everyday for lunch. IMO they should consider making these in Seddon and sell them in the city during lunch time; they'll be gone in 60 seconds. They are often overwhelmed by takeaway coffee patrons but will still manage to look after you as soon as they could. Highly recommended.
