Bourke Street Bakery

"Crowd-favorite Australian bakery Bourke Street is aiming to open in early July." - Erika Adams

"I had some Bourke Street Bakery challah, which is so heavenly fresh that even at two weeks old, it was fine for French toast. The challah is $12 or something, so it’s a splurge."

When I lived in Sydney, there was a Bourke Street Bakery downstairs from my office and I would go there all the time to get their sausage rolls. Those are still great, but recently I've gotten really into their turmeric black pepper sourdough + the ham and cheese baguette sandwich. The croissants here are solid - wouldn't go out of my way for one, but they do the trick in a pinch and probably best I've had in the area (I like them 'bien cuit' but these are a little too well done IMO). Also like the cookies, especially their fancy Anzac biscuit.
