Book NowAbout Donut Garage
Tucked into Marrickville’s industrial backstreets, Donut Garage merges a bakery counter with Aussie revhead culture. The draw is dough that hits light and airy without an ounce of grease. Morning crowds make the run for the Sour Cream Cherry—hitting a clean tart snap—or the glazed pineapple ring. Between bites, wander through vintage motorbikes parked across the floor, or nurse an espresso behind the wheel of the Daytona arcade cabinet.
- Light-Crumb Dough: Light, airy batter fried without heavy grease, finished with crowd favorites like Sour Cream Cherry, retro Pineapple, and Apple & Pear Crumble.
- Showroom Culture: An interactive showroom floor lined with classic motorbikes, rotary cars, and collector vehicles parked alongside cafe seating.
- Arcade & Sim Racing: Original Daytona arcade cabinets and a Gran Turismo racing simulator that keep groups entertained between pastries.
- Coffee & Cinnamon Scrolls: Well-pulled espresso and milkshakes poured alongside house cinnamon scrolls and jam-filled donuts.
