About Bourke Street Bakery Alexandria
Pies and sausage rolls are what people keep coming back for. We hear the pork and fennel sausage roll has been a Sydney staple for years, and the beef pies have flaky pastry that comes out golden. One local put it simply: a cold morning, a warm pie and a good coffee is hard to beat. The sourdough and olive bread also have their fans, and one regular says that once you've had bread this fresh, supermarket loaves don't cut it anymore. You'll find muffins, pastries like pain au chocolat, and a few frozen items to take home as well.
You can dine in or take away, and breakfast and coffee are on offer. Locals describe the staff as friendly and the prices as fair for the quality. The seating is a bit more cosy than roomy, and a few say it suits grabbing something to go. They also do catering, so it's worth asking if you're planning an office morning tea or a gathering.
Parking is the other thing people mention. There's a small car park behind the building that's handy for quick pick-ups, though it's tight and fills up, and free street parking nearby may mean a short walk.
Check the hours before you head in, as they vary a little across the week.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bourke Street Bakery Alexandria
This Alexandria bakery is best known for its pork and fennel sausage roll, a long-time Sydney favourite with flaky pastry, along with traditional Aussie beef pie and beef brisket, red wine and vegetable pie. The sourdough and olive bread are also popular, with many saying it's hard to go back to supermarket bread once you've tried it fresh here.
Yes, Bourke Street Bakery Alexandria offers dine-in as well as takeaway and catering. The space is often described as warm and relaxing, though seating can be limited at busy times and popular items can sell out, so it pays to arrive earlier in the day if you want the full range of pies and pastries.
Breakfast and coffee are both on offer, with bacon and egg rolls and toasties alongside croissants, pain au chocolat and other sweet pastries. Coffee is consistently called good by visitors, making it a solid stop for a morning pie or pastry paired with a flat white or piccolo.
The savoury range includes sausage rolls (pork and fennel, lamb, almond and harissa, and a green curry tofu and veggie option), pies such as beef curry mince and beef brisket with red wine and vegetable, plus quiches, cheese twists, scrolls and crosstoes. There are also toasties like roast beef focaccia and chicken and corn for a quick lunch.
There's a small car park next to the Alexandria shop with free street parking also nearby, which locals say is a handy bonus compared to some of the chain's other Sydney locations. It can still fill up during busy periods, so allow extra time if you're swinging by for a quick pick-up.
