"There are a few things you must do when you come to Sydney: see the Opera House, lie out on Bondi Beach, and, if you’d like to spend a lot of money to be semi-terrified, climb the Harbour Bridge. Eating a lamington—cube of sponge cake dipped in chocolate and covered in coconut—should also be on that list, and Flour and Stone’s version (they soak theirs in panna cotta) is the best one in the city. The bakery is small and popular, so if you can’t find a table to sit with your coffee and cake, take it all with you as you walk along the Woolloomooloo Wharf. They also have a regular stall on Saturdays at the Carriageworks Farmers Market in Eveleigh (another Sydney must-visit)." - Caroline Clements 33

Forget all you know about fine pastry and good service - as they are both redefined here at Flour and Stone. Here the quality of the products and surpassed by the outstanding customer service of the staff - they place special effort into their service so that you feel very special indeed. The fine pastry is magnificent and is unrivaled by miles. This place is in a league of its own - I don’t mind paying an above average price for an exceptional product and service. They care about your experience. They remember you if you return. Their food is remarkable and exquisite. You have to try it.

Best lamington I’ve had in Sydney. The ratio of frosting, jam, and cake was perfect. The sponge was moist, and there were larger coconut shavings around the cake if you like to have extra, which I do. Their lemon cake was delicious as well; I wish the sponge was a little moister on that one like the lamington, but I’m still happy with my choice. The service was great. The worker warmed up my crumpet and put butter and honey on it while I had the sweets to go. The honey was amazing. Ask for extra. ;)

Went around 1.40pm and there still were people lining up. We managed to get the last lamington, and it was so moist, and the jam inside was delicious (personally not a fan of the usual lamington). Pain au chocolat was huge, and the bread was crispy outside and buttery inside. Not cheap but worth trying when nearby!

Warm, cheerful welcome. We tried the beef rendang pie which was excellent. The beef and spice balance was just right. The lemon curd meringue cake was an outright winner. My family and I loved it and downed it in a hurry. My Flat White wasn't the best I had in Sydney, but wasn't all bad. The hot chocolate my daughter had was much better. If you want more choices of their awesome pies and pastries then go early. Finding a table can also be a challenge. We had a super visit though 😋😍.

Ordered the wholesome carrot cake for Christmas dinner. Easy ordering online, easy pickup, friendly staff gave instruction on proper storage despite how busy it was, no fuss - cake was delicious and loved by all. Thank you!!

Bought this at the carriageworks market store $9.50 for a slice of lemon drizzle Looked soooo good but taste didn’t live up to the look. It’s more sweet than sour and more sugary than lemony, which was not what I had expected. If you prefer sweeter lemon cakes this might be suited to you. Also a bit gross but maybe from being displayed out the entire day, if you zoom into the photo you will be able to see the icing on top covered with hair, dust, specks of black?? And it was just really off putting…

Got a quick takeaway breakfast as our last hurrah before a 1pm flight. So glad we made this decision. We ordered the chocolate, rasp & buttermilk and the strawberry & rosemary brûlée tart. The bakes were very reasonably priced (especially for Sydney prices) and the flavours and textures were on point. As someone who loves a good creme brûlée and a good pastry, I appreciated that the brûlée was crunchy and not soggy, that the pastry was crispy and again not soggy, and that the custard had a balanced flavour. Didn’t order their cakes since we didn’t have space, but definitely wanted to try. Would definitely visit again for their bakes.

The perfect spot for a mid morning pick me up. Service with warmth, charm, and a smile from Corey. Despite being sadly restricted and unable to eat gluten, Corey kindly took me through the options (see - PLURAL!) available to me at their wonderful cafe and bakery. The raspberry and chocolate mini torte was phenomenal! Highly recommend for those with gluten intolerances and the coffee was perfection. Will definitely return when I'm travelling to Sydney again.

Unique and delicious. Worthwhile to come in and try something different from the norm at this little bakery. I want to try everything I can set my eyes on. My stomach on the other hand knows my limits. Friendly service in this boutique bakery. Put it on your list.

Another staple dessert to try when in Sydney. Interesting flavor and more on the heavy side. Base is a butter pound cake w a berry compote and chocolate and coconut on the top. It's strong on the chocolatey coconut side so if you're not a fan of these two I wouldn't recommend. Larger than what I expected. Another one of those things you'll have to try it at least one when in Sydney

Quaint cafe with some awesome pastries! Really flaky onion pastry that had a nice sweetness. The sandwich was also very hearty and I really enjoyed the sauce.

A Canadian, this was my first time in Australia and was craving for a meat pie as my first meal (not counting the McDonald's brekkie post-flight), so I Googled what was near Hyde Park. Luckily, Flour and Stone was in the vicinity and did not disappoint! The chicken, leek, and tarragon pie came recommended by the server and proved to be the perfect balance of rich and savoury filling and buttery and flaky crust. Interestingly, if you want to dine in, you order from the Annex two doors down then walk your tray up to the Pantry. And staff and friendly and passionate about their pastries. Definitely coming back for the rendang beef pie!

I had to get a famed lamington before leaving australia! This one didn't disappoint. I also had some super rich chocolate pie.... Perfect treat!

Iconic Sydney bakery Flour & Stone is one of Sydney's iconic bakeries! The pastries are terrific and the cakes are decadent. Good coffee too!! May 17, 2016 Lovely bakery and great coffee This tiny popular bakery has a mouthwatering selection of cakes, pastries, breads and pies and serves delicious coffee on beautiful hand made crockery! We loved it so much we visited it twice during our week long visit to Sydney!

Sometimes long line doesn't mean great food. Maybe we didn't order the right things, but I think 3 is a pretty representative sample size. The sourdough crumpet (served with honey and cream) is rubbery with no crispiness at all. The apple tart is fine, although both filling and crust are kind of bland. The custard lamington doesn't quite work for me. I admire their creativity for doing a custard-cake hybrid. But it comes across as either a very grainy custard or a really soggy cake.

What a gem! I absolutely love everything about this place! The food, the staff, the philosophy.... They have the best croissants in Sydney, the crumpet with whipped ricotta and honey is to die for, and of course, the Lamingtons are a must!

Excellent croissant on almond, coffee is great too! If I've got chance, I would definitely come back and taste other products

Thank God for Nadine Ingram!! Not only do I absolutely love her old style sweets on offer, the savoury items are just as good. Usually a place that does sweets well, do not savoury items well. The fact that EVERYTHING here is good says a lot about the owner and staff. There is no pretence here. Just good old fashioned honest food. Love! Love! Love! I'm not a regular, but when I do visit, you know the deal with the line. I have been here at its busiest and the staff there work like a production line. I was sooooo impressed by the staff member who was so on the ball and kept things moving. Worth the visit. Worth every single calorie. Only reason I don't like this place is bc I want every single item on offer. But stomach says no.

What a lovely bakery! It was definitely one of the highlights of my short stay in Sydney. Every morning I would have breakfast and coffee at this lovely place and it was always a great start of the day. I can't wait to go back once the pandemic is over!

Amazing place to get tea, coffee, and a bite. Wonderful Chai tea (brewed pot by pot), great coffee, and delicious croissants, sandwiches, and quiche! This has become a morning staple for our adventurous days. So glad to have been recommended this place from our host!

After reading multiple positive reviews from various sources, Flour & Stone had been on my wishlist for quite sometime. When I finally got to try it earlier in the week, I was hopeful. Meh. Wish I agree with the other yelpers but I dont. Dont get me wrong, the pastries I tried were good. There just wasnt a "wow" factor....if you know what i mean. Zucchini, chilli and gruyere bun ($3.50) : Interesting flavor combination, especially with the mild hint of chilli but not overpowering. Pretty good when toasted. It was just *a little* too dry for my tastebud. Hazelnut torte ($5.50) : Pretty good. I like the hazelnut on top, giving texture to the torte Lemon tart ($4.50) : Not spectacular , average. The guys working there were very nice and patient with me as I had difficulty picking what I want. (luckily there were not other customers!) I will go again if I happen to pass by....but if not, I would not be making a special trip to Flour and Stone again. *sorry fans*

Cute little shop. Delicious ice coffee with ice cream. Quick and easy, although it seemed like I could have sat there and ate pastry after pastry for hours.

Probably the best avocado on toast I've had, simply for the stunning sourdough. It was very busy on arrival, so take-away was the only option. The food was very well packaged given this. Cash only if you want to avoid the surcharge on cards. Will be back hopefully to enjoy breakfast in house.

This place is crazy busy. We found a table but there was a constant line the whole time we were seated. For being a bakery, I was surprised by the lack of backed goods offered - they had cakes and sandwiches and not much in between. I tried the Lamington (traditional Sydney cake with coconut chocolate frosting, vanilla soak panne cotta cake and cherry filling) and the salami sandwich. The sand which was was decent and had nice flavors and the cake was actually quite moist and not too sweet. Would have liked more of the fruit filling and there wasn't quite enough to balance the cake. A slice of cake was $7.00. The room is quite small and seating squished. Service friendly although they did set the wrong sandwich down in front of us and after taking a bite they realized their mistake and made it sound like our fault that we ate the wrong one. Wouldn't make a special trip back but if I was really craving something sweet and worked upon the block it could be a decent option.

Everything we ate here was amazing! Interesting flavors like custard quince tart. Wonderful light textures for their donut equivalent. Exotic tasting fudgie cherry brownie

A really cute little spot.. But when I say little- it's little! So popular people can't fit inside Only wish it was a bigger shop. Amazing chai lattes and gingerbread shaped as a sheep

Went here for coffee and pastries... small place so get there early if you want to eat there. Beautiful selection of freshly make goodies for brekky. Some days they have special offerings! Tuesday was lemon cheese donuts that were delicious

What a pleasant little place. I walked in twice durning my trip here in Sydney. The first time I purchased a mocha and the second time I purchased a sausage roll. The mocha was small but satisfying and the sausage roll was filling. On my birthday my friend surprised me with an Australian dessert called Lamington. Lamington is a sponge cake with a raspberry filling. The cake is dipped in chocolate and covered with coconut shavings. An absolute must try.

What can I say? I'd move to Sydney just for this bakery. I have never been more wow'd by a bakery like I have for Flour and Stone. I've tried a range of their stuff and I wish I had more. That salted caramel tart had me going mental! The lemon drizzle cake I had? I would have bought 30 if I had known they were that good. Alas I was already back in Adelaide by the time I bought it. Speaking of which, their goodies travel well. Buy loads as gifts!! The ladies who work at the bakery are also sweethearts. Not stingy at all with their baking advice, they dished it out to anybody who asks! If you mention to them that their goodies will be travelling, they will pack it up extra securely. Our precious cargo made it to Adelaide fine! Except for the lamington that got devoured on the plane. Ahem. The decor is cute and their portions generous. I really, really wish I lived in Sydney just for them!

There is no better lamington than a Flour and Stone lamington. And if there's a better cake to be had, which I doubt, I'd like to hear about it. Plus, the olive sourdough bread is the best I've had in probably 20 years - they use huge, juicy olives, not those nasty things that you see on cheap pizza, that look like Lego car tyres. Enough said. Everything these guys do is exceptional.

The panna Cotta lamington was yummy!!! Sponge cake w panna cotta and jam coated with chocolate and coconut ! Who wouldn't love that !!! A must try in Sydney!

When I went to Australia I knew I wanted to try a lamington, a traditional Australian cake with chocolate, coconut, and a raspberry filling. I heard that Flour and Stone is a good bakery so I decided to stop here for one. It's a small cafe tucked away on a side street near the Australian Museum and St. Mary's Cathedral. The staff of course is super friendly and they have a nice selection of savory items in addition to sweets. I tried their chicken, leek and tarragon pie and it was delicious! However they don't have the same items everyday. When I asked to try another pie that was on the menu they said they didn't have it that day. Anyway, back to the lamington- the reason I'm giving this place a five star review! It was an awesome cake! Super moist with just the right amount of raspberry, chocolate, and coconut (I think there might have been a bit of cream in the center too)! It even comes in this super cute little box that is especially made for the lamingtons. Anyway, if you're ever in Sydney this place is a must!

Hard to find and even harder to leave without an armful of delicious treats. I'm slowly eating my way through the array of handmade baked goodies. From possibly the best lamingtons I have ever tasted, to slab cakes and even nougat, this tiny shop hidden away is a real find!

Actually going there is not convenient for me, I have to across the whole Botanic Garden and take 20 minutes walk. However, the recommendation of my picky friend attracted me. The shop is very small and located in the quiet street, no big sign outside but you cannot miss it because there are no other shops around it. The atmosphere inside is lovely, everything is cute, the ginger biscuit has so many shapes and packed for different topic. I order lemon tarts and shared with colleague when I am back in office. We all shocked for this delicious. The start skin is very fragile, even can't hold it for long. Lemon filling is sour but just alright, fresh smell and smooth texture. I would go there again to try more~
