Banksia Bakehouse

A variety of sweet and savoury pastries to choose from! Their plain croissant is buttery and flaky, not as fresh, but acceptable. The almond croissant is a must-try if you love them. The ham and cheese croque monsieur is also tasty, recommended if you're in for a savoury one. Their iced latte was also worth it. Been there a couple of times, some staff seemed to have a little attitude, but the rest were generally nice and helpful. Give it a try if you're in town!

Bakeries, like boats either rise with the tide or go the titanic. This place takes it one step further. They've studied all the race winners and designed their own super yacht. The pastries eat as well as they look. Yes, they're as pricey as the nearby stores. But they deliver quality, and if you're not me (the human embodiment of the three little piggies) you can do a thing i hear other people talk about...I believe they call it "sharing". The coffee really is first rate too. Be glad you're in Sydney. The tide rises here as much as any city on this rock we spin on. These guys float, possibly just above it

This is a pretty good bakery that is right in downtown. 4 of the 5 items we got were fantastic. One was mediocre hence the 4 star review. One thing I love about this location is it is only 5 minutes from the water taxi where you can enjoy views of the city for only $1 if you ride it round trip and get off at the same pier you got on.

We really enjoyed the chocolate cake, very indulgent. I tried their cheesecake at a different event and it was yummy too. Will come back and try other stuff.

20/7/24 - 4.5 stars A fairly famous bakery in Sydney CBD which I finally got round to trying. It certainly has a chic and contemporary vibe with a clean and predominantly glass decor. I like the open kitchen and bakery setup. Pastries are really well crafted and high quality with amazing flavours, but, I would say the price is certainly at the very upper end. Would probably come back just to try the basque cheesecake. Pork and fennel sausage roll Sausage: S+, 8.5/10. Definitely quite tasty with well balanced flavours, but, definitely could be more spiced. Pastry: S+, 8.5/10. Also very good with a decent flakiness and buttery taste Value: B, 6/10. $12 is fairly expensive Creme brulee danish Flavour: SS, 9/10. As other reviews have stated, this one is exceptional with a not overly sweet cream which captures the burnt caramel flavour well Texture: SS, 9/10. Flakiness of the pastry and creaminess are well balanced Value: B, 6/10. $11.

I came from Newcastle to try this pastry. The food is delicious and staff are friendly especially Anton. He recommends a chicken sandwich for me and it was delicious 👍🏼. I will try the sweet too because it’s sesame delicious.

It’s the best bakery I’ve ever tasted in Sydney. They have a delicious and different pastries and Sweets. I have tried a Croissant, chicken sandwich, and crème brulee danish, it were a fresh and tasty. By the way, There’s no alot of space to sitting it’s just 3 tables.

As a "Croissant Enthusiast" this is the BEST Plain Croissant 🥐 I have tried out of 45 places in Auckland and two in Sydney. I believe if the they can nail the basics, then everything else will be spectacular. Overall... This is a exceptional croissant and ticks all of the boxes when it comes to quality, taste and texture. In fact, it deserves a standing ovation. You know that its going to be an amazingly generous croissant when you can see the butter soak through the paper bag and this croissant did not disappoint. I love how the croissant has all of the hallmarks of being perfect. Visually speaking, there is a flakey crust with so many beautiful layers with a gorgeous colour on the crust. However, visuals are only one part of what makes it the best Croissant. First bite was sensational and life changing... Sinking my teeth into the flakey crust gave way to a delicate fluffy pillow chocked full of buttery honeycombs. It was an extremely memorable experience even though I had sky high expectations coming into it. Other notes: Pretty awesome with a giant window outside where you can view all of the pastries being made right before your eyes. They have nothing to hide except the magic and effort they put in to those croissants. 🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐/5
