About Flour and Stone

Flour and Stone turns out Copenhagen-level baking on a quiet stretch of Riley Street. The main draw is the panna cotta lamington—sponge soaked through, layered with tart berry compote, dark chocolate, and coconut flakes. Devotees crowd the counter early for vanilla cake and Lemon Dream before trays empty out. On the savory side, the leek and gruyere tart offsets rich butter with sharp cheese in a crisp crust. Seating inside The Pantry tightens quickly during brekkie hours, so regulars head straight to The Annex next door to grab coffee and pastries without the wait.

  • Signature Lamingtons & Cakes: Renowned for panna cotta-soaked lamingtons with berry compote, fragrant vanilla cake, and the coveted Lemon Dream.
  • Savory Tarts & Baguettes: Flaky leek and gruyere tarts alongside freshly prepared baguette sandwiches.
  • Two-Door Bakery Setup: Seated dining at The Pantry with a separate walk-up Annex next door for swift takeaway orders.

  • Signature Panna Cotta Lamingtons

    Flour and Stone reimagines the Australian bakery staple by soaking tender sponge in panna cotta and balancing it with berry compote, dark chocolate, and toasted coconut.

    It perfectly balanced the sweetness of the cake, cream, and jam with the bitterness of the chocolate coating and the savory coconut crisp.

  • Flawless Pastry Lamination

    Classic morning viennoiserie is rolled and baked with textbook precision, producing crisp, airy, and buttery layers.

    The lamination was flawless with beautiful, defined layers and a deep golden finish that hinted at the buttery richness inside.

  • Dual-Storefront Annex for Quick Pickups

    Two adjacent shopfronts decouple sit-down cafe guests from high-speed takeaway patrons on tight schedules.

    The bakery has two adjacent locations – The Pantry for sit-down and The Annex for takeout.

  • Convenient Rush-Hour Queuing Alternative

    When dine-in capacity peaks during busy morning runs, the dedicated takeaway shop next door keeps morning orders moving without delay.

    Seats are limited and you may have to wait during peak hours but they have a takeaway shop just next door for your convenience

  • Flatbread

    The absolute highlight is the flatbread. It’s very buttery, topped with sesame and black sesame and finished with flakes of fleur de sel. It sounds simple, but it’s executed perfectly.
