About 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.

  • Signature Watermelon Cake: Crisp fresh watermelon slices layered with almond dacquoise, rose-scented cream, strawberries, and pistachios.
