Why Choose The Sconery?

The Sconery is known throughout Chippendale for scones that consistently impress, generously sized with homemade jam and cream, and for sourdough bread and custom cakes made fresh on the premises. With a quiet street location beside a park and both indoor and outdoor seating, it's a welcoming spot for breakfast, brunch or a casual lunch, and the team is friendly and attentive to every visit.

About The Sconery

Scones are the thing people talk about at The Sconery, and it's easy to see why. These are big, generous scones with homemade jam and cream, light but rich, with a subtle sweetness. One local called them the best they'd ever had, and plenty of others say much the same. If you're after a bakery in Chippendale for a proper scone and a coffee, this is the place to start.

It sits on a quiet street beside a small park, away from the traffic, with tables inside and out. Everything is made on the premises, from croissants and sourdough to brunch dishes and fresh sandwiches, which locals describe as full of flavour. Pies and sausage rolls get a mention too, along with the steak pie. There's also takeaway, dine-in, catering for nearby offices and functions, and plenty of cafe-style food and drinks. It's a comfortable spot for families, with high chairs and a wheelchair-accessible entrance.

Cakes are a real strength. People order custom celebration cakes here for milestone birthdays, and one local described a strawberry chiffon made for a dad's 80th that impressed every guest. Others rave about a Victoria sponge with beautiful cream layers, a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting, and a cheesecake picked up fresh from the oven that wasn't too sweet. A popular trick is to order a cake and add half a dozen scones with jam and cream for an afternoon tea at home.

The Sconery also runs baking classes and parties, including scone-making sessions, hens parties and children's birthday classes. Parents say Jason is wonderful with the kids and makes the afternoon easy, and the staff are warm and friendly.

Locals also like the value, with generous serves at fair prices. Check the hours before you head in, as they vary across the week and the cafe is closed one day.
