Book NowAbout Humble Bakery - Circular Quay
Sydney pastry hunters skip the Quay tourist traps for this compact, cashless Loftus Lane takeaway hatch. The main draw is pure nostalgia rebuilt for grown-ups—specifically the finger bun, split open and crammed with an unapologetic slab of cold butter. For lunch, regulars line up for crusty baguettes stuffed with mortadella and provolone, oily pork and fennel sausage rolls fragrant with spice, and slab-cut salami focaccia. With no indoor seating and only a couple of outdoor benches, you collect your haul alongside a tall slice of coconut-and-pineapple carrot cake and head straight down to the harbor.
- Buttered Finger Buns: A bakery classic packed with pink icing and split down the middle with a thick slab of cold butter.
- Takeaway Sandwiches: Crusty baguettes loaded with mortadella and provolone alongside thick cuts of salami focaccia.
- Savory Australian Bakes: Flaky pork and fennel rolls and classic Vegemite cheese scrolls baked fresh for a quick harbor lunch.
