About The Bay Bakehouse

Just steps from Maroubra Beach, this unpretentious local bakery pairs classic Aussie pies and scones with punchy Vietnamese street fare. Regulars line McKeon Street early for crackling roast pork banh mi tucked into crisp house-baked baguettes, steaming bowls of beef pho, and dependable morning flat whites. Settle outside in the plaza with a caramelized pork roll, or grab a warm spinach and ricotta pastry before heading down to the sand.

  • Bakery meets street-food counter: Flaky pies, sausage rolls, and scones sit alongside fresh banh mi and steaming pho noodle soup.
  • Dawn seaside starts: Doors open at 6:00 AM for early coffees, fresh sourdough, and quick morning takeaway.

  • Comforting Coastal Winter Warmer

    Steaming bowls of beef and chicken noodle soup provide affordable, hearty warmth when the coastal breeze turns brisk.

    We came down to enjoy the pho noodle soup and it’s the perfect Winter warmer.

    Reliably crafted espresso, specialty oat lattes, and latte art served fast every morning without variation.

    This is one of the rare cafes in the Eastern Suburbs that is always consistent with its coffee. It's always great.
