About Breadfern Bakery

Skip the standard Sydney pastry run—this Chalmers Street counter turns out some of the sharpest viennoiserie in town. Everything bakes fresh next door each morning. Morning crowds assemble early for the almond croissant with its distinct ridge—crackling crisp outside, yielding to a thick almond filling that never turns soggy. Others zero in on the banoffee tart, stacked with dense dulce de leche, cream, and fresh banana inside a sturdy shell. For lunch, the spinach and ricotta roll delivers smooth filling wrapped in pastry that refuses to soften, matched by slow-cooked beef pies built with zero sag. Grab an espresso, claim a sidewalk stool, or carry the pastry haul across to Redfern Park.

  • Distinctive Almond Croissants: A signature architectural ridge gives way to crisp, flaky lamination packed with a rich, perfectly thick frangipane core.
  • Caramel-Packed Banoffee Tarts: Heavy sweet bakes loaded with thick dulce de leche, sliced fresh banana, and cream set inside a crisp, buttery crust.
  • Crisp Savoury Rolls and Pies: Slow-cooked beef pies and spinach and ricotta rolls praised for smooth fillings and crusts with unmatched structural integrity.
  • Parkside Takeaway Rituals: Sidewalk seating sits directly opposite Redfern Park, making grab-and-go morning coffee and pastry runs seamless.

  • Cherished Family Morning Rituals

    Generations and families anchor their Saturday and Sunday schedules around morning treats before heading over to play in the park.

Signature sweet pastries and comforting savoury bakes handmade fresh on-site.

  • Banoffee Tart

    It's apparent why this is so popular because it's very very good ! Tons of delicious caramel and banana flavour present and the texture of everything, including the dulce de leche, cream, and shell is great too :)

  • Slow Cooked Beef Pie

    DUDE THE PASTRY IS SO GOOD. Not soggy at all, has a solid and crisp structure without being dense or dry in the slightest since the inner parts of the pastry have a wonderful soft mouthfeel and butter flavour pervading all throughout.

  • Almond Croissant

    The almond croissant ($9.5) was definitely the highlight; great flaky, buttery pastry with a lovely crunchy almond top. The almond filling inside was generously thick without being overly sweet or wet/soggy, which is hard to get right.

  • Spinach and Ricotta Roll

    the spinach and ricotta roll completely stood out. Easily one of the best rolls we’ve had. The ricotta was super smooth and fresh, the pastry was perfectly baked, and the whole thing just tasted really balanced and comforting without feeling too heavy.

    I’m a huge fan of their palmiers—they are absolutely delicious and one of the main reasons I love coming back. Flaky, fresh, and perfectly done, they’re hard to resist.
