Someone from work shared with me. Now I'm sharing with you. If you like cake and appreciate simple and yum things ... TRY THIS CAKE. The shop looks very dated and old school and I like that. I haven't tried anything else here as yet. But I will keep coming back for the dusted sponge!

It was fortunate that I had a dentist appointment because it meant that I could leave the 5k radius…read moreduring our Covid lockdown, and I took an opportunity after my dental appointment to grab something for the ride home. This place was quite nice, and I'm sure they appreciated the custom during this time. Their cakes were quite lovely, and they made a decent coffee as well.

Rude and entitled on the customer's part (who realised this and apologised), however it could have been better handled by the staff, by finishing serving me. The customer actually purchased the last mushroom pie which I was about to order. This said, I have usually had a positive shopping experience over the last few years at La Panella Bakery.

There are a few cafes scattered along the Edwardes Street strip in Reservoir and this is probably…read moreone of my favourites (though it has been ages since I have been down there - probably about a year now as I have moved away from the area). The place is always packed full of people, and the staff are always friendly. I actually quite like the fact that they have tables outside (there isn't a huge amount of room inside to sit down) and it is sheltered from the elements (though it does get a bit cold). As for snacks - there is a pretty decent selection as well, both sweet and savoury. In fact it makes me want to go back down there now (if it wasn't for that fact that it happens to be closed).

The Northcote Bakeshop is a cute little bakery on High Street, where there's not much around, but is totally worth the trip there just on it's own. They cater for both the savoury and sweet tooth. I had a vegan empanada today which was made up of tomatoes, pumpkin, corn and olives. Just delightful. They also have a whole range of gluten free options as well. Best thing is it's all baked locally in Northcote. Definitely worth a stop if you're ever up that way.

I grew up with Chilean friends whose parents always made empanadas so the bakeshop ones don't quite stack up but probably cause they were made earlier then heated up. An empanada in my experiences have been super fresh in that if you're too impatient you take a bite and the steam and filling (usually cheese for me) burn you haha

What a gem of a little bakery! Not being on the main Sydney…read moreroad drag means that there are mainly locals that frequents this shop. Although I have a feeling that the Village Bakery may have its own not-so-local addicts. It's one of those places that looks almost warehouse like from the outside so you don't really look twice. Once you decide to visit Village Bakery though, it's a whole different story! It's elegant and welcoming inside, Open plan type counter and seatings and bread, cakes and pastries, pies and the smell of coffee. It's bright and smells delicious inside. You know you're gonna put on those kilos here. Bread are fresh daily, and there's also a selection of cheap day old bread on the side. Fresh whole meal loaf will set you back about $4 and between $1-3 for day old sourdough, rolls etc. I tried the Nutella donuts ($4)ea also available with jam or custard Pies and pasties selection include lamb, chicken and vego and there's also quiches on offer It was super difficult to keep my eyes off he cake cabinet... Eeeegggghhhhh I spied meringues, berry tarts cheesecakes, EVERY THING looks good!!!! I walked out still sniffing the coffee in the air and thinking about my next purchase... Oh its a blessing and a curse to have finally discovered the Village Bakery. Tip: on street parking and a few off street parking spots directly on door. If you're stuck, park at union square across the road

A quaint little bakery you may not think twice about. However, if you just kept walking on by then…read moreunfortunately you would've just missed out on some really good treats. Sure they make your typical varieties of fresh breads and sweets, but it's the Greek speciality items on offer that makes The Village Bakery worth a visit. The spanakopita in particular is a rare treat. They don't make it often, so when it is available, the locals flock to it. The folio pastry they use must be homemade as it's nothing like the stuff you'd find in a supermarket. It's thicker and beautifully crispy on top. The filling has the perfect balance between salty feta and earthy spinach. I can definitely see why it runs out so fast. One morning I popped in to grab one of their Greek pastries with the custard in the middle, and the owner told me they had just baked a fresh batch and went to get me a one from the back. It was still warm which made it twice as good. Now I try to get there in the morning hoping to score another freshly baked goody.
