About Goose Bakery

Morning pastry runs on Ross Street require an early start before the counter cases clear out. Forest Lodge walkers make the detour for one main draw—the sour cherry almond croissant, layered with frangipane and tart fruit to cut through the rich, flaky butter. Counter staff move with unhurried patience, sending out Little Marionette flat whites and creamy iced matcha paired with complimentary house-cut shortbread. Takeaway bags get packed with sliced seeded sourdough and cups of ginger iced tea for the stroll home.

  • Sour Cherry Almond Croissant: Loaded with almond frangipane and tart cherries beneath crisp, crunchy layers of pastry.
  • Coffee with House Shortbread: Pours well-pulled espresso and iced matcha, each served with a complimentary house shortbread cookie.
  • Daily Artisan Sourdough: Bakes fresh daily loaves—including seeded sourdough and fruit and nut bread—sliced to order at the counter.

Signature viennoiserie, daily coffee with house-baked shortbread, and specialty take-home loaves.

  • Sour Cherry Almond Croissant

    the sour cherry almond croissant is no doubt one of the best almond croissants I’ve had in my life. It was topped with so much delicious frangipane and filled with even more, plus the sour cherry added a nice tartness to cut through the butteryness of the pastry.

  • Coffee with Complimentary Shortbread

    Goose Bakery coffee is well-made as well as being delivered quickly and with a smile. The staff (who are consistently friendly and learnt my order within a very short time) always pop a delicious complimentary shortbread aeroplane on top of my coffee cup.

  • Avocado Toast

    the baked goods are all a treat, the coffee is superb, the avocado toast is Sydney's best-kept secret, and it's all insanely good value.
