About A.P House (A.P Bakery)

Take the lift inside Paramount Coffee Project straight to the roof—A.P House pairs open Surry Hills sky with serious viennoiserie. Morning crowds gravitate toward the buttermilk croissants and multi-layered cheese and onion pies, crusts shattering on contact. The savory counter hits just as hard with Aleppo pepper focaccia, bacon-and-egg congee, and rich smoked brisket pies. It all settles onto the sunlit terrace beside a flat white or cold brew capped in orange cream.

  • Sun-Drenched Rooftop: Breezy second-floor outdoor terrace accessed via the elevator inside Paramount Coffee Project, featuring shaded and sunny seating.
  • Artisanal Viennoiserie: Golden buttermilk croissants, hazelnut varieties, and multi-layered cheese and onion pies baked for maximum flakiness.
  • Savory Counter Bakes: Hearty bakes ranging from Aleppo pepper and potato pesto focaccia to slow-cooked smoked brisket pies.
  • Specialty Coffee Program: Balanced espresso drinks alongside specialty standouts like cold brew finished with orange cream.

Why A.P House Stands Apart

Ascend to Surry Hills’ breezy rooftop for world-class viennoiserie, slow-cooked savory pies, and precision coffee—book your table ahead to secure your spot in the sun.

  • Crispy, Flaky Viennoiserie Craft

    Masterful lamination yields multi-layered, ultra-crispy buttermilk croissants and layered cheese and onion pies that deliver an unmistakable, shatter-crisp texture.

    You can tell the effort to make the pastry as crispy and flaky as possible.

    Perched atop the Paramount Coffee Project building, the terrace blends lush greenery and shaded seating into an airy urban escape.

    The rooftop setting makes this place feel like a hidden gem tucked away in the city.

  • Substantial Savory Pies & Bakes

    Hearty lunch options anchor the menu, featuring slow-cooked smoked brisket encased in deeply flaky crust alongside spiced focaccia and breakfast bakes.

    The brisket pie had the perfect texture and after tasting the delicate and flaky skin the succulent meat burst into my mouth perfectly.

  • Impeccably Balanced Coffee Program

    The beverage bar pairs impeccably extracted espresso classics with signature creations like chilled brew crowned with nostalgic orange cream.

    The cold brew with orange cream was perfect, beautiful retro-taste. Flat white perfect executed.

  • Hip Urban Gathering Escape

    A stylish perch elevated above Surry Hills street traffic, ideal for meeting friends over specialty brunch and taking a breather.

    good for those seeking a slightly hip getaway from the busyness of the wider cityscape of Sydney.

    their Basque cheesecake and dark chocolate cookies are really addictive!

  • Whiskey Canelés

    The canele is not hard as the ones I’ve had, definitely moist and chewy. You can also definitely taste the whiskey residuals, which adds a layer of depth to the canele’s flavour.

  • Vanilla, Cinnamon and Plum Flan

    Keep an eye on the daily specials and especially for the vanilla, cinnamon and plum flan. Not overly sweet and pastry was ultra short and flaky.

  • Matcha

    I also tried the matcha, and it was quite good!

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you find the bakery inside the building?

Walk through the ground-floor Paramount Coffee Project space straight toward the back, then take the elevator on the right up to Level 2.

What should you expect with lines and seating?

Expect steady queues, particularly on weekends and after 9:00 AM when waits can reach 30 to 40 minutes. For dine-in, join the line for a buzzer, then order your food and wait to be seated; you can also order coffee while waiting for a table.

Can you order items to take away?

Yes, takeout is available if you prefer not to wait for a rooftop table, though pastries and baked goods ordered to go may be served as-is without being reheated.

What savory and sweet items are recommended?

Popular standouts include the smoked brisket pie, lamb sausage roll, buckwheat pain au chocolat, dark chocolate cookies, and savory brunch dishes like Turkish eggs or bacon and egg congee.
