I'm guessing that this store is the original Bourke St Bakery and it was a cut above the other branches that I've been to. The croissant was much better - only somewhat flaky and buttery but good for the price - and the coffee was heavy and syrupy but still creamy. Still serving the mid market rather than being a fancy bakery but doing it very well.
I tried the combination of chocolate milk, pork sausage roll and ginger tart. They are so good!!! No wonder it is rated so high!
This bakery truly deserves high rate! We had their signature sausage roll, ginger tart, custard tart, ricotta cheese cake. Really good!
Found this gem since 2010, a decade later this is pace only going stronger and still as delicious. My favourite is the ginger brûlée tart which has a slight hint of ginger and perfect for afternoon tea with coffee.

🥧Passionfruit Meringue ($5.5)
🍪Dark Chocolate and sour cherry cookie ($4)
A small corner bakery, very charming and humble. Some outdoor seating but the baked goods are also good to takeaway for a snack.
Both of the treats were very nice for afternoon tea. The Dark chocolate cookie was so rich and I've never had a cookie with cherry🍒 before! I always love having meringue and the passionfruit was a perfect contrast with the sweetness. We also got a small loaf of sourdough which tasted nice with dinner 🥰
Such an impressive ginger brûlée tart! I would definitely recommend this little cafe shop to anyone looking for vintage vibe with good desserts 😉
Saw some mixed reviews about their signature ginger brulee tart, and decided to see for myself. So glad I did. The ginger taste was subtle but pronounced enough to know that it was used. Kind of a beautiful collaboration between gingerbread and a custard tart. Absolutely enjoyed it.
Famous for a reason! Great coffee, sweets and savoury pastries. Seating is on the sidewalk so it can feel a bit tight but it's better since the construction on Devonshire has lighten up.
Best place for pies and coffee. The place is all the time crowded and their service is good too. The staff are polite and friendly. They have bacon pie , chicken pie and a variety of cakes.
This is an old bakery but their breads and cakes are very delicious. Their store is small, but you can order takeaway or just sit/stand outside. The Ginger Brulee Tarts are phenomenal and is unique in it's own charm.
Bourke Street Bakery is one of the best places to have breakfast/brunch. A good cozy ambience with very tasty food. Been here twice and got very freshly baked crispy yet soft dishes. I had croissant with jam once and veggie sandwich the other time. Definitely a 10.
The long queue at breakfast or lunchtime is a pretty good indicator why this is a Surry Hills institution. Definitely a must visit if you are looking for pastries, bread or a coffee. The pies, sausage rolls, and croissants are excellent and if you have a sweet tooth I recommend the chocolate sour cherry cookie, lemon curd tart, and the ginger crème broulee are excellent choices. It’s takeaway only so grab a picnic rug and enjoy the food nearby on the grass. And to avoid the long queue, best to go before 12pm!
I had a lemon curd tart and ginger brûlée tart . Love how the ginger tart tasted. It’s not overpowering sweet nor the texture is different. It has a delicate crispy texture and crunchy top layer. Overall it was good. Not the fan of the lemon tart, although the lemon in the middle is so smooth, the pastry is crunchy and perfectly blended not too sweet. I still prefer the ginger. It is quite on the pricey side though. The tarts are $6 and the chocolate drink is $5 😳 !
Quiet little corner spot. I noticed a queue but it moves fast so have your order ready. Be early or things will be sold out. Great coffee, delicious sourdough bread, and friendly staff.
Lovely place with nice staff and yummy treats. The red wine brisket pie was amazing, and the coffee is one of my favourite in Sydney. There was quite a line when we went but it was worth the wait. Will happily be back again to try more of their food for brunch as they look so good. Currently only doing takeaway but had a nice picnic at the nearby park
Excellent quiche, egg flavour was soft on the inside with a hard but not flaky crust. Perfect quiche. The croissants were amazing and the coffees went well with them all. Pastries to die for.
I love the Bourke St Bakery. I have often had a coffee and something to eat after a run, sitting in the park opposite. The food is great, the service is just as great. I love everything about the place. Well worth a visit.
Pastries to die for. Loved eating their crossiant and pear danish! This place is definitely worth the line up.
