Breadfern Bakery

Banoffee tart ($14) — It's apparent why this is so popular because it's very very good ! Tons of delicious caramel and banana flavour present and the texture of everything, including the dulce de leche, cream, and shell is great too :) it is pretty expensive though so 9/10 Slow cooked beef pie ($9) — AHAGRHRGJRGR DUDE THE PASTRY IS SO GOOD. Not soggy at all, has a solid and crisp structure without being dense or dry in the slightest since the inner parts of the pastry have a wonderful soft mouthfeel and butter flavour pervading all throughout. I think the filling is less impressive as some of the beef chunks are dry and could do with some more gravy. I do have high standards for meat pies though. 8.5/10 There seemed to be a ton of variety of things so I may be back in the future to try some more :3 edit: Tried the passionfruit croissant and a quiche ! I don't remember how much they cost but what I DO remember is how delicious the croissant was ! The thin outside layer was sweet and so wonderfully crisp and the passionfruit filling on the inside tasted really yummy and also had a nice creamy texture. damn writing this is making me want to eat one right now this might actually be 9.5/10 !! The quiche on the other hand was kinda mid. The bacon was hard on the top and was lowkey stabbing my mouth a bit lol. 5/10

Get their slow cooked beef pie if you want savoury. Get the banoffee pie if you want sweet. Get the blueberry vanilla tart or strawberry matcha flan if you want sweet but not too sweet.

This place is a bit hipster/too trendy but it’s one of the few places I’ve found that seem to make Gluten Free bread in house. It’s never on the rack, you have to ask for it from the counter as it seems to come from the fridge wrapped in cling wrap (I suspect to keep it from contaminants). It tastes as though it’s from a potato base so not too strong in the flavour which is how I like it so I can taste what I put on the bread. And not too sweet like a lot of the brands from the shelf can be!

Craving pastry for the breakfast, went to Breadfern in the morning to try some of their stuff. Ordered Pistachio & Orange Blossom Tarte, Peanut butter & Raspberry Jam Snail, Slow cooked beef pie and Iced long black for the drink. Peanut butter & Raspberry Jam Snail was the best, worth the trip from our place in North Sydney. Really recommended it!! Pistachio & Orange Blossom Tarte was good but didn’t really has Pistachio flavour. Beef pie was ok. Didn’t expected anything from the iced long black but it turned out pretty good.

I came here as part of my bakery hopping journey and I was blown away. They offer one of the most impressive French bakery selections I’ve seen — everything from sweet to savoury, and all done to perfection. I tried the spinach & ricotta roll (so flaky and well-seasoned), the slow cooked beef pie (rich and hearty), and a beautiful variety of sweets including raspberry mascarpone, coffee ganache tart, fruit brioche, and a soft chocolate raisin pain suisse. Their egg tart was also smooth and silky, and I washed it all down with a refreshing healthy juice. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!
