About J & R Bakery
J & R Bakery is a small neighbourhood bakery in Rivett, Canberra, and locals talk about it with real affection. It's the sort of place where the counter staff are friendly, the bread comes out fresh from the oven, and the prices feel fair for what you get.
Bread is the main event. People rave about the daily baked loaves, and the heavy vienna, in white or wholemeal, gets a special mention from those who like a loaf with some substance. Salad rolls, pies and a spinach and ricotta roll that caught someone's fancy are on the menu, along with crusty rolls and croissants. There's a range of sweet and savoury treats alongside, plus coffee and toasties.
Then there are the thickshakes. We've heard more than once that they're made with real ice cream, and they may be the first thing some locals mention when you ask about the place. Milkshakes get plenty of love as well.
You can take your order away or sit in, and the shop has a wheelchair-accessible entrance and car park. Cards and tap-and-go payments are accepted. One visitor found the sweets selection fairly basic and the range of larger family-sized pies limited, so if you're after a big spread for a crowd, it's worth asking ahead.
A friendly local bakery where the service is warm and the goods are fresh. Check the hours before you head in, as weekend trading is shorter than during the week.
