About Lagom Bakery
If you're after a proper sourdough on the NSW South Coast, Lagom Bakery in Burrill Lake is a place worth stopping at. Their tagline is "Just The Right Amount", and the bakery works around slowly fermented sourdough, handcrafted pastries and locally roasted coffee, serving both the local community and holidaymakers passing through.
The bread is the main event. Locals will tell you the sourdough is some of the best they've tasted, and the range rotates, so what's on the shelf depends on the day. One visitor who stayed in the area for a week said their morning stop here became the best part of each day, and we've heard of people picking up a loaf or two to take home. The seeded sourdough gets a lot of love, and so does the rustic white and the fruit loaf.
Beyond bread, the pastry cabinet does plenty of work. The croissants, especially the almond one, are praised by visitors, and the sausage rolls have a following of their own. One person said the flaky pastry and meaty, homemade-style filling made it the best they'd ever had, and that it was worth the three-hour drive. There's a toastie of the week for those wanting something more substantial, plus a pantry selection and dine-in options if you'd rather settle in with a coffee. Catering is also on offer.
It's a busy spot, particularly on weekend mornings and holiday weekends, though the queue tends to move along quickly. Staff are friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed and dog-friendly, and there's outdoor seating if the weather's kind. One local called it excellent but a touch pricey for the size of some pastries, though others came away feeling it was good value.
Parking is free, with a wheelchair-accessible entrance and car park, and they take card and tap payments. It's open seven days, so check the hours before you head in.
