The Bakehouse’s design has an edgy, cool-kid vibe to it that complements its wacky croissant dishes. Baker James Sideris is all about boundary-pushing tastes— think truffle ham croissant with a truffle goat’s cheese spread, comté cheese, and caramelized onion, as well as a Middle Eastern-inspired eggplant dish with hummus, zaatar, and jalapeno.
Key Differentiators:
- Serves savoury & sweet pastries
- Very cosy and cute place
- Fantastic selection of pastries
Customer’s Review:
Made a trip from the West to Manly to visit this bakehouse! Although the croissant was sold out, we tried the Berry Danish and Sausage Roll. The pastry was very crisp and light. Personally prefer the sausages to be more intact, but the flavours in the Danish were nicely balanced! It’s worth a visit.

info@ iggysbread.com | |
Operating Hours | Tues to Fri 7AM–6PM |
Iggy’s, the Yugoslavian-born Igor Ivanovic’s renowned bakery, is all about bread—and the no-frills shopfront with queues for days will persuade you otherwise. Iggy’s defies tradition by keeping the interiors unadorned and the bread consistently outstanding. The bread is also excellent—incredible, in fact. It would be impolite not to grab a bagful of Iggy’s croissants while on your weekly bread run.
Key Differentiators:
- Renowned for its bread
- No-frills shop
- Consistently outstanding bread
Customer’s Review:
I’ve been hearing about this place for a while now, and not sure why I’ve never been until now. It’s now my new favourite bakery. You name it, they have it and it’s amazing. The pull-apart bread st the counter, the chocolate croissants, plain croissants, spelt loaf. It’s incredible! Get in early though, it’s popular and there are decent lines.

Flour and Stone’s croissants are some of Sydney’s finest since, aside from the fact that they’re delicious, they offer excellent quality, control, and a lot of love and care. Flour and Stone has the science of the humble croissant down pat, from maintaining ideal fermentation conditions for full-flavoured dough to ensuring that all those butter and dough layers are uniform.
Key Differentiators:
- Sublime value for money
- Delightfully scrumptious cakes
- Serves light flaky layers of puff pastry
Customer’s Review:
Flour and Stone came highly recommended as a cafe worth travelling to for their croissants. They lived up to their reputation. Amazing work.

Address | 61 Lavender St, Milsons Point NSW 2061 |
Website | https://loulou.sydney/ |
Phone | (02) 8000 7800 |
reservations@loulou.sydney | |
Operating Hours | Monday 12–11PM Tuesday 12–11PM Wednesday 12–11PM Thursday 12–11PM Friday 12PM–12AM Saturday 12PM–12AM Sunday 12–10PM |
There’s a lot going on at this triple act all-day eatery, which is well worth visiting for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It includes a bakery and restaurant, bistro, and traiteur. The Loulou’s boulangerie in Covent Garden, which is created by head baker Brendon Woodward (ex-Chouquette Boulangerie, Bread Ahead Bakery London), starts the day with flaky croissants. However, if you’re looking for wimpy croissants, start your day at Loulou.
Key Differentiators:
- Serves French dishes
- Relaxing embience
- Great quality of French baguette and pastries
Customer’s Review:
Love having Loulou in the Milsons Plint neighborhood! So yummy. Love almost every item there and I almost always have a friendly encounter there! Croissants are one of the best in town – definitely get it in the morning. I love the tarts too – cherry tart woohoo. Burnt cheesecake is great too and I love the single person version.

6) AP Bakery
Key Service | Serves all-day breakfast menu |
Address | Locations |
Website | https://www.apbakery.com.au/ |
Operating Hours | PARAMOUNT HOUSE ROOFTOP WED TO SUN 7:30AM – 3PM CARRIAGEWORKS MARKETS EVERY SATURDAY 8AM – 1PM |
AP Bakery has two permanent locations: Carriageworks Farmers Market and the top of Paramount House, where its recent pop-up, AP House, is located. AP Bakery produces some of the city’s greatest, freshest bread, but it would be remiss not to mention the flawlessly honeycomb-structured croissants (which is quite difficult to accomplish, by the way).
Key Differentiators:
- Delicious food and coffee
- Friendly service
- Serves all-day breakfast menu
Customer’s Review:
Take the elevator to the rooftop. Delicious food and coffee. Burger and bacon egg roll were sooo good. Hash brown was crispy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside. The plain croissant was chewy and so flaky. Come early for pastries.

Website | https://humblesydney.com/ |
Phone | 02 9435 0801 |
restaurant@humblesydney.com | |
Operating Hours | Daily 7AM–3PM |
The crew behind Porteño, Humble Bakery, has been taking Sydneysiders to carb heaven with its selection of pastries, including some magnificent croissants, since the day it opened. The basic croissant, on the other hand, is anything but. Beautifully golden and airy in appearance, it has a honeycomb-textured interior that will make you wonder whether or not you should stop eating. The sandwiches are just one of Humble’s many sandwich options. They sit among the stripy chocolate, oozing ham and cheese, and almond varieties, as well as famous croissant-muffin hybrid!
Key Differentiators:
- Softer and chewy croissants
- Huge range of croissant flavours
- Delicious all-day breakfast and lunch menu
Customer’s Review:
This place doesn’t disappoint. Good coffee and great selection of baked goods. Ordered the croissant and the pork and fennel sausage roll. Both were delicious!

8) Black Star Pastry
Key Service | Made from Australian cultured butter |
Address | Shop 26, Ground Floor, 500 George St, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia |
Website | https://www.blackstarpastry.com/ |
Phone | 02 9557 8656 |
info@blackstarpastry.com.au | |
Operating Hours | Daily 8AM–6PM |
Black Star Pastry is known for its iconic Strawberry Watermelon Cake, but if you ask us, the croissants should get their own hashtag as well. The simple croissant is transformed into an artful experience by Black Star, which emphasizes accuracy, quality, and the one thing you can’t replace: time. No corner is cut in this three-day procedure, which takes place over three days and involves from twice-proofed dough to meticulous lamination, but it’s well worth the effort when you hear that satisfying crunch of flaky pastry layers upon layers and reach that plush, buttery interior.
Key Differentiators:
- Made from Australian cultured butter
- Flaky buttery pastry
- Classic recipes
Customer’s Review:
I encountered very friendly and professional service at this store. Their famous watermelon cake was incredibly fresh. Highly recommended.

I can’t tell you HOW HAPPY I was to eat here. We stopped by for lunch. We had the sausage roll and quiche lorraine with a mix of salads and an almond croissant with coffees. The pastry was fantastic. Any gluten intolerant foodie will tell you that getting GF pastry right is hard and finding it even harder. Well done to the team on their fantastic bakes. The service was friendly and helpful.

Operating Hours | Daily 7AM–6PM |
For years, one ginger brûlée tart at a time, Bourke Street Bakery has stolen our hearts. For a great croissant, go for the $1 bakery chain’s plain croissants, which have flavor and flakiness as well as a nice form and airy layers. The delectable almond paste filling and crunchy crown of toasted almond flakes dusted with icing sugar of the bakery classic has made it a local
Key Differentiators:

Customer’s Review:
Excellent quiche, egg flavour was soft on the inside with a hard but not flaky crust. Perfect quiche. The croissants were amazing and the coffees went well with them all. Pastries to die for.

A first-time visit to this Bakery Cafe is one of the best in the Chippendale area. I saw some reviews and thought of giving it a try.

Phone | 61 2 9241 4878 |
orders@larenaissance.com.au | |
Operating Hours | Monday – Sunday: 8am – 4pm |
La Renaissance, a mainstay of Sydney’s pastry scene and founded by a classically trained chef and pâtissier nearly 50 years ago, certainly knows a thing or two about croissants. Its plain, almond, and chocolate croissants are made fresh every day.The vanilla crème patisserie from La Renaissance, which is filled with layers of light, fluffy, laminated dough, comes across as bougie—it’s a hazy dreamlike cream pastry encased in delicate layers of dough.
Key Differentiators:

- Croissants are made fresh every day
- Light, fluffy, laminated dough
Customer’s Review:
My favourite French patisserie is in Sydney. Absolutely love the pastries and cakes, and the coffee is nice as well. They have the best almond croissants and macaroons I’ve ever had in Sydney. The cakes are creative and the flavours are well balanced. The whole cakes can be ordered in different sizes and at very reasonable prices. This is my top 1 place to go for birthday cake orders.

“A great croissant has a distinct flavor of butter,” says founder and pastry genius Yves Scherrer. It must be fluffy inside, flaky outside, have a light crunch, and not be greasy. The staff at Madame & Yves ensures that each pastry is unique by hand-crafting everything. Try any number of Madame & Yves’ boundary-pushing flavors of the traditional croissant, such as early grey custard, hazelnut and almond praline, truffle croque monsieur, a hazelnut-driven Ferrero, and a raspberry almond croissant filled with fruity fresh raspberry marmalade.
Key Differentiators:
- Hand-crafted pastries
- Unique flavors
- Fluffy inside, flaky outside, light crunch
Customer’s Review:
Delicious croissants of sweet and savoury variety and plenty of other pastries and sweets to appease even the fussiest eater. Feels like you are in France! Hardest part is being able to find a table to sit at, so consider yourself lucky if you get it, otherwise, it is the takeaway game for you!
