Book NowAbout A.P Place (A.P Bakery)
Tucked into a Sydney CBD alley, A.P Place resets morning routines with grain-focused baking and sharp counter eats. Diehards clear the trays by mid-morning for alternative viennoiserie—buckwheat pain au chocolat, macadamia croissants, and fig danishes. Midday pulls just as hard: thick focaccia layered with prosciutto and burrata, brisket pies, and porchetta cut with bitter greens. Out on the pavers between old stone buildings, workers nurse a cold brew cut with a fresh orange slice.
- Inventive Viennoiserie: Laminated bakes showcase buckwheat pain au chocolat, macadamia twice-baked croissants, and ricotta-topped fig danishes.
- Substantial Savoury Lineup: Hearty options include crackle-loaded porchetta sandwiches, prosciutto with fresh burrata on focaccia, brisket pies, and egg sandos.
- Citrus-Spiked Cold Brew: House cold brew is served poured over ice with a fresh orange slice for an unexpected citrus kick.
- Laneway Outdoor Seating: Open-air tables tucked between heritage city facades provide a breezy perch away from the office rush.

Apple Tarte Tatin
The tarte tatin was nice and perfectly balanced with the cream on top, very good.
Andrew Ralph Basque Cheesecake
For dessert, the Basque cheesecake is smooth, rich, and indulgent - a real treat.
Peter Lac Anzac Biscuit
I went back and bought an Anzac biscuit that was chewy and delightful with every bite.
Nanita Semolina Pound Cake
This pound cake is a terrific example. Yes, it's $11. But semolina doesn't cook itself like this. The garnishes are spot perfect, too.

Before you head over
Practical advice on beating early sell-outs and planning around open-air laneway seating—book now to reserve your experience.
Arrive Early for Daily Bakes
Queues form from early morning and display cases empty fast. Arrive before mid-morning to secure standout pastries like the fig danish and buckwheat pain au chocolat before they sell out.
Check Weather for Laneway Seating
Seating is situated entirely outdoors in the open-air laneway. Overhead heaters help during cooler mornings, but inclement weather will mean taking your bakes to go.
Streamline Counter Ordering
The counter offerings can be overwhelming during peak rushes. If you are seeking specific custom builds or viral savoury creations, show a photo directly to the staff for fast ordering. Book now to secure your table.
