I'm calling it. The best bakery in Sydney. Utterly extraordinary. Everything Nadine touches turns to gold or, in this case, sweet sweet magic. You will have likely heard of her panna cotta lamington. Yes, the rumours are true, it's the best you'll ever have. Quince and custard tart, rocher cake, the lemon dream, fine apple tart....honestly, all of it is incredible. Let yourself loose, order it all. Return the next day and do it all over again. The bakery is across two storefronts, both are tiny. So dont plan on a table. Just get takeaway and go to a neighbouring garden.

Pastry and bread shop using locally sourced flour and produce Their laminated pastries were fresh and seasonal. They used interesting flours, such as a whole wheat in the rough puff, and let the local produce shine. I also purchased a loaf of spelt rye bread that was divine. Not too dense, very flavorful.

Elegant and decadent filled croissants and meat pies. The presentation of pastries in this feminine and minimal space was exquisite. A smallish menu but each pastry has flawless lamination and thoughtful garnishes. Definitely not pastries to eat on the go, as all of them had a cream filling of some sort and requires a fork and a plate. The savory options were delicious, and the sweet options were just the right amount of sweet. The chocolate hazelnut croissant was my top recommendation.

Top-notch croissants in a relaxed beach town setting. Incredibly light and flaky croissants with the right amount of crunch on the outside. Their savory options are very creative and well executed. Lamination is top-tier. I traveled from Seattle to try these and they did not disappoint.

French croissants with a Korean flavor profile and really good coffee. The pastry flavors are really interesting (kimchi cheddar, black garlic, grape, etc) with impeccable lamination and eye-catching presentation. A much wider selection of savory pastries than most croissant shops. Customer service is great as well! Very friendly folks. Attention to detail with pour-over coffees and espresso.
