Bourke Street Bakery Parramatta

Bourke Street Bakery Parramatta brings the long-running Surry Hills bakery to 1 Church Street, with a menu built around bread, pastries, savoury baking, cakes and simple café-style meals. The range is made daily and served fresh, with the bakery describing its approach as traditional and hands-on. Products are available to take away or eat in, making it suitable for a quick coffee and pastry, a relaxed lunch, or picking up something for home.

The savoury cabinet includes pork and fennel, lamb, almond and harissa, and chicken, pork and chorizo sausage rolls, alongside several pies, quiches and toasties. There are also vegetarian and vegan options, including a green curry, tofu and vegetable sausage roll and a vegan vegetable curry pie. For a more substantial stop, the menu includes toasties, a bacon and egg roll, rotating salads and soups served with fresh bread. The bakery’s sweet side covers croissants, danishes, cinnamon scrolls, tarts, muffins, biscuits and cakes, with options such as ginger brûlée tart and flourless chocolate cake.

Bread is a major part of the offering, from country white, wholemeal, soy and linseed, and quinoa and grains sourdoughs to ciabatta, baguettes and rotating speciality loaves. Some breads are made on particular days, so the selection can vary across the week. The menu also includes coffee, tea, cold drinks and fresh orange juice, giving solo visitors an easy breakfast or coffee stop. For groups and family gatherings, Bourke Street Bakery offers catering with savoury pastries, pies, sausage rolls, tarts and cakes in mini or full-size formats, while its at-home range includes sauces, pickles, jam, muesli, pasta, butter and other pantry items.

The bakery began as a corner shop at Bourke and Devonshire streets in Surry Hills in 2004 and has since expanded to locations around Sydney, including Parramatta. Its stated focus is real food made by hand with carefully chosen ingredients, supported by relationships with Australian suppliers for flour, salt, butter, meat, oats, honey and coffee. That background gives the Parramatta shop a clear point of difference: it is part neighbourhood bakery, part café, and part provisions stop. It works for a solo visit, a casual catch-up, families looking for an easy meal, or anyone collecting baked goods to share at home.
