About Son of a Baker

At Son of a Baker on Moore Street, live pastry lamination meets dialed-in espresso right in the heart of Leichhardt. An open viewing window into the adjacent kitchen lets you watch bakers laminate sheets of butter-rich dough and pull fresh trays from the oven in real time. Inner West regulars lean on the counter for morning flat whites and crisp sourdough loaves, while afternoon crowds drop by for pistachio croissants piped to order or flaky spinach and cheese burek. Packed pastry boxes keep visitors well-fed for gatherings, paired with an espresso pulled with thick crema while the next tray finishes baking.

  • Live Bakery Window: A wide viewing window into the adjacent production kitchen showcases dough lamination and pastry rolling in real time.
  • On-Demand Baking & Piping: Pastries like pistachio croissants and almond jam tarts are piped or baked fresh throughout the day rather than sold only from morning batches.
  • Curated Pastry Boxes: Multi-pack pastry boxes offer bundled pricing across sweet croissants, tarts, and savory burek.
  • Dialed-In Espresso & Sourdough: Carefully pulled flat whites and long blacks anchor the morning counter rush alongside freshly baked sourdough.

    Simple dishes like egg and avo on toast still have a point of difference with a toasty chilli oil which was 10/10.
