What We Tried
We tried the cheesy garlic twists, garlic sourdough and coffee. The cheesy garlic twists were the highlight for me — warm, savoury and very easy to enjoy as a quick snack.
The garlic sourdough also stood out. It had a nice bakery-style crust and worked well as something simple to take away.
What I Liked
I liked that the bakery had fresh-looking options and a relaxed local feel. The produce felt good quality, and there was not much I would change based on this visit.
Vegetarian and Vegan Notes
Most of the items we noticed looked vegetarian, especially the bread, pastries and cheese-based bakery items. For vegan options, sourdough-style breads are usually the safest place to start, but I would still confirm with the staff because some breads or toppings may include dairy, honey or other ingredients.
Parking Tip
Gordon Street can be busy, so parking directly outside may not always be easy. Parking in the next alley or nearby side streets may be a better option.
