Variety of Egyptian and regular bakery delights here. The coffee is good and the various things I have had have all been tasty.
We’ve been wanting to try Egyptian bakery, Pioik for a while now. Positive word of mouth as well as sampling things in other cafes led us to making a trip to Pyrmont. The store is quite small, located on Harris Street in Pyrmont. The front counter showcases the goodies on sale but you can also see the bakery production behind.
Our favourite breakfast place in Sydney. And we eat out a lot. Amazing bread, so fresh ingredients and good vibe. Only thing that stops us from coming more often is the lack of baby chairs but otherwise it’s worth driving all the way into our old neighbourhood to come here!
This place gets a 5.0 because of the brilliant coffee and service. Aesthetically pleasing, proud but not arrogant, super clean. What more could you want??? Oh. And Portishead was playing...
I wandered into Pioik today as they were celebrating their 2nd birthday, definitely something to be proud of in the crowded super competitive Sydney market. I came quite late and there wasn't a lot left so I just had a coffee, which was actually really good. They have seating both inside and outside, with an inviting assortment of options. This is a bakery cafe where you can feel the love of the owners for what they do, will be back soon to try the intriguingly delicious sounding Arabic granola ...
Carb heaven. Not really a sit down and eat place but definitely a grab a coffee and great pastry to go place. QUALITY FOOD RIGHT HERE. They also had soup for lunch for awhile and it was to die for.
Great coffee great service... et ambience .. les croissants delicieux ..we must return for some organic cuisine francais ..great location too
A small busy family run bakery cafe serving Egyptian breads and breakfasts. Worth a visit!
Friendly and efficient staff with a range of food and bakery needs.
I have been in pioik bakery twice. You can taste good coffee and Egyption breakfast. Manoush bread is my favorite. You should taste banana bread and lamington. Waiters are helpfull so you can get advices from them.
....when i first visited, i fell madly in love with their bread wall… it’s so glorious and it’s always full of freshly baked bread, what could be better than that? their entire selection of eats make my mouth water and i’m slowly making my way through each and every one of their delicious treats – for some reason, i can’t resist. // one visit was with the delightful rachel and we both enjoyed brunch, followed by dessert and take home treats.
This gets me up in the morning: kimchi, provolone, chili croissant ($12 each - quite pricey but it’s different and so tasty). My colleague is raving for their almond croissant too - will try later. Coffee has been good and consistent since the first days they opened up shops. They also sell really good sourdough bread and some other interesting things in their menu.
Almond croissant: all the croissant I had in the past are fake. Frangipane fill me up easily.
Focaccia: (without topping or filling) I had it the second day, toasted. Nice but not as special as people said. Would give it another go after Xmas.

These may be the best pastries I have ever had, and I am so excited to go back as they change up their offerings all the time.
We got the twist ($6.50) - I adore that there's not just cinnamon but turmeric (you can't tell from the exterior but the dough is yellow), cardamom and vanilla which gave it such a well-rounded spicedness, bringing to mind curry in the best possible way. The pastry layers in their viennoiserie are so sharp and well-defined and so crisp, so buttery and full of butter flavour without feeling weighed down by butter. And the twist, in particular, was so perfectly golden-brown all over and practically crunchy on the ends, you'd question whether or not it was actually deep-fried.

I highly prefer tarts and Danishes where the fruit is baked in rather than added as a garnish post-bake because caramelised fruit (and veg) is magic. Hence the whole apple nestled within the apple Danish ($6.50) sparked joy. Love the gorgeous shape of it too.
The scrambled egg foccacia ($16) was also fantastic. There was potato, there was chilli (plus shishito peppers on top), there was silky soft butter-scrambled eggs - freshly scrambled to order, of course - such an amazing idea. Only thing (which I'm not even sure I don't like) was some of the potato slices were a touch too dry and crunchy - I might've preferred them tenderer?
Also, side-note: they ask if you want your pastries reheated, and that's something I really love. Why yes, I would love my pastries restored to their optimum as if freshly pulled out of the oven! A small thing that makes a big difference to me :)
Best almond croissant in Sydney and I've had a lot of almond croissants in Sydney. Amazing fresh panettone. And their focaccia is mind-blowing. Highly recommend this bakery.
Phenomenal food and coffee. They make their own almond milk and it was delicious. I've never tasted any coffee like that in my life - and I mean that the best way possible. I had an egg sandwich, almond croissant and Danish for breakfast. The pastry and bread were outstanding.
They are also a venue who are taking the COVID safe approach very seriously (hence the no cash as per the very unfair below review), & are rightfully following all the recommended approaches meticulously. I'm happy to pay a tap-n-go % surcharge that equals 50¢, to limit the risk of a COVID outbreak in my country & to help keep a small business afloat.
An amazing Egyptian bakery in PYRMONT.
Delicious pastries and a unique and delicious breakfast offering. Their banana bread is absolutely fantastic!
Coffee is great too and friendly staff keep me coming back over and over again!
Highly recommend!
