Book NowAbout Mindful Baker
A sunny corner bakery where house-made pastries, custom celebration cakes, and welcoming banter set an unhurried Glebe pace. Locals gather curbside for morning brekkie, lingering over freshly baked quiche, fluffy buckwheat pancakes crowned with mascarpone, or crisp ciabatta sandwiches. The pastry cabinet rotates through gluten-free muffins and lemon drizzle slices, alongside custom celebration orders turned around with ease. Morning walks frequently detour here for a flat white in compostable cups—and a homemade treat handed down for the dog.
- Bespoke bakes & cake cabinet: From gluten-free muffins to lemon drizzle cakes, the kitchen also turns around custom celebration and birthday bakes accommodating vegan and nut-free requests.
- Thoughtful neighbourhood touches: Friendly counter staff remember orders and names, offering dairy-free salad swaps alongside dog-friendly treats and compostable BioPak takeaway cups.
