"Surry Hills regulars and global fans make a beeline for the original Bourke Street Bakery—launched in 2004 by Paul Allam and David McGuinness—which has since spawned city-wide branches and two cookbooks. Alongside strong coffees from Sydney roaster Single O (“balanced like a Buddhist monk”) you’ll find teas and house-made drinks from cold-brew coffee to old-school lemonade, fresh orange juice, and pear and vanilla iced tea. Sit down or order to-go from the menu of daily-specialty artisan breads, pastries, gourmet pies, sandwiches, and salads." - Sophie Davies
