About Lavie & Belle Bakery Surry Hills

Surry Hills locals track the butter scent straight to this Bourke Street boulangerie for authentic morning viennoiserie. You catch the pastry aroma from the pavement. Inside, bakers roll dough right beside the counter, turning out flaky pains au chocolat, almond croissants, and savory ham and cheese croissants layered with béchamel. Expat Francophiles in the neighborhood rely on the burnished canelés, crisp white baguettes, and lunchtime brie and walnut sandwiches. Early birds take the prize, with morning batches of canelés and baguettes clearing out quickly.

  • Authentic Viennoiserie: Flaky pains au chocolat, almond croissants, and ham and cheese croissants layered with rich béchamel.
  • Traditional Pâtisserie: Burnished canelés, chocolate éclairs, and regional specialties like Paris-Brest and millefeuille.
  • Artisanal Savory Lunch: Brie and walnut or bocconcini sandwiches built on crusty baguettes, paired with warm quiches and coffee.
