About Scullin Sweet Bones

Sweet Bones is a fully vegan café and bakery in Scullin, ACT, and it draws people from well beyond the suburb. We've heard of visitors from interstate making a point of stopping in, and Canberrans who treat it as their weekly ritual. It's a little out of the way, but regulars say the drive is part of the charm.

The cake cabinet is the first thing many people mention. Slices, cakes and cinnamon scrolls (the cinnabuns come up a lot) sit alongside the loaded banana bread, which has its own following. Custom cakes are a real strength here too. One couple liked the baking so much they trusted the café with their wedding cake, which tells you plenty. Gluten free options are on the menu as well, so mixed groups tend to manage fine.

It's more than a bakery counter, though. You can dine in, take away or have food delivered, and the kitchen turns out a proper breakfast and lunch menu: build-your-own breakfasts, almond pancakes, a McMuffin-style breakfast, granola and popcorn cauliflower all get a mention. Coffee is done well, and one visitor who isn't vegan was pleased to find full cream milk still on offer.

The atmosphere is relaxed with a bit of groovy grunge, and the staff get a lot of love. Locals will tell you they're friendly and welcoming even when the place is packed, and one couple admired how a young waiter kept his cool through a tricky moment on a busy day. There's a free car park and free street parking, plus a wheelchair-accessible entrance and car park, and they take cards and tap-and-pay.

The kitchen opens early, with slightly later starts on weekends and a mid-afternoon close. It's worth confirming the opening times. If you're after vegan baking in Canberra's north, this Scullin bakery is worth a try.
