Book NowAbout Black Star Pastry Rosebery
Tasting Black Star Pastry’s strawberry watermelon cake remains an essential Sydney rite of passage. Anchored inside The Cannery in Rosebery, this outpost offers breathing room to sit down without the cramped city rush. The signature slice layers crisp watermelon between nutty almond dacquoise and rose-scented cream, topped with fresh strawberries and slivered pistachios—striking a refreshing balance that sidesteps heavy sugar. Savory cravings get equal respect with warm lamb pies, mushroom quiches, and toasted sandwiches. Pull up a chair near the windows with an espresso pulled from St. Ali beans on their La Marzocco, or cool off with a tart yuzu fizz.

Before you head over
Practical advice on parking, dessert profiles, and timing for your visit
Plan Ahead for Street Parking
Street parking around Dunning Avenue can become competitive during peak periods, so consider taking public transit or budgeting extra time to find a spot.
Expect a Low-Sweetness Profile
Cakes lean light, refreshing, and botanical rather than heavily sugared, making them an excellent choice if you prefer low-sweetness desserts.
Time Visits for the Fullest Selection
Weekday lunch cake selections can be more limited than weekends, so arrive earlier or plan around weekend visits for the fullest variety of slices.
