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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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!

Before you head over

Key advice on finding the hidden lift, navigating weekend queues, and securing comfortable rooftop seating—book your table now to enjoy Surry Hills from above.

  • Finding the Rooftop Entrance

    The bakery is located on Level 2 rather than the ground floor. Walk inside Paramount Coffee Project from Commonwealth Street, head straight to the back, and take the lift on the right up to the rooftop.

  • Managing Weekend Queues

    Weekend visits often involve a line to receive a table buzzer before placing your order. You can order a coffee while you wait for a table, or visit mid-morning on a weekday to avoid the longest queues.

  • Terrace Seating & Weather Cover

    Dining takes place on an open terrace with both shaded umbrella zones and sunny open-air seating, so choose your spot according to your preferred sun or weather cover.
