Sonoma Bakery Alexandria

Sonoma Bakery sits on Birmingham Street at Alexandria, an inner-city Sydney suburb with a thriving food scene. Part of the renowned, much-loved Sonoma group — one of Sydney's most celebrated artisan bakeries, known especially for its sourdough — it's a genuine favourite, offering beautifully made bread, pastries and treats along with good coffee.

The appeal is that combination of genuinely excellent, naturally leavened sourdough and quality baking, good coffee and a welcoming Alexandria setting, perfect for a fresh loaf, a morning pastry, a coffee-and-cake stop or something to take away. Sonoma's stellar reputation for its sourdough and artisan baking makes it a real drawcard, and this branch has clearly won over a loyal following.

With a 4.4 rating from more than 800 reviews, it's clearly hitting the mark. The range, daily baking, opening hours and pricing vary, and a popular bakery can sell out of favourites and gets busy on weekends, so it's worth checking current details and arriving early before a special trip — particularly if you've got your heart set on a specific loaf or pastry at Sonoma in Alexandria.
