Bourke Street Bakery on Postcard

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

Australian Bakery Bourke Street Joins Grand Central Terminal’s Growing Restaurant Roster - Eater NY

"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.

Ordered their cacio pepe pastry which was flavorful and good. The ricotta blueberry muffin was very soft and there were a lot of blueberries. Their other pastries looked appetizing. The shakshuka pastry was flavorful and good. The couscous salad was decent too.

I rarely leave reviews but I have to say I was impressed. I had a train to catch in 12 minutes but I desperately needed coffee so I took my chances — even though there were 7 people ahead of me. The staff were extremely efficient and I was out of there in 3 min tops! Friendly service as well.

I tried their ricotta cheese danish with blackberries ($7.08 including tax) in the Grand Central Station bakery location. I found that the ricotta cheese had little taste, the pastry enclosing it had even less taste. It looked good, but the taste was not equal to its appearance.

This bakery in the station sell French-style viennoiserie pastries. Their croissants are nice and flaky. They are also enormous.

I used to stop by everyday for a latte and a pastry. There was an amazing gentleman by the name of Jason, who worked there last year or even the year before…. He kept things very clean, calm and comfortable. As time has gone on, I’ve found myself stopping in less and less and it’s because every time I do, the coffee is mediocre, the croissants are stale and the staff all seem to have way better things to do than work there. It’s unfortunate. If you’re going to sell stale goods after 3pm the least you can do is make them 50% off so people don’t feel robbed and try hiring people that actually like the job.

* Update to a previous review. So today (6/10/24) I walked in right during rush hour and they gave me the wrong croissant, didn’t know it until I got downtown. I decided to call, but I was not sure I would resolve this. Tara picked up, I explained. She held the correct items for me. When I got to grand central, there they were. The perfect almond croissants. After an exhausting Monday, Tara made my whole week. Please give her a hug and a raise! You guys are awesome! The Thank you Tara! The almond croissant….ohhhh woooooow. Not overly sweet, pieces of almond in the almond filling give it the perfect texture. Crispy crust and soft center made it unbelievable. I may accidentally take the trek from Suffolk on the LIRR just to make it to this place, and I will bring a bag back home!

Really like this place. I like everything I’ve tried there so far, fresh sandwiches & coffee is good too. Their almond croissants are great. I usually get sourdough bread for home.

Bourke Street Bakery located in Grand Central Terminal is a relatively new addition to the sprawling commuter rail terminal. They offer a range of cookies, small cakes, coffee, and sandwiches. This is a great last minute spot in case you want to pick something up for a house gathering, and they also provide nice packaging for your cakes and cookies. 😊
