Why Choose Penelope Bakery and Coffee Roaster?

Penelope Bakery and Coffee Roaster in Coogee is known for scrolls that locals buy by the box, soft, gooey and generously sized, with cinnamon and pistachio standing out. Delivery and takeaway are available, and the in-house coffee roasting and Greek baking heritage add depth to the menu beyond the famous scrolls.

About Penelope Bakery and Coffee Roaster

Penelope Bakery and Coffee Roaster is a micro, independent bakery in Coogee that mills its own flour in-house and matures its baked goods for 72 hours, with Greek baking heritage and fermentation shaping the approach. Coffee is roasted in small batches on-site, so the bakery and the espresso bar feed each other.

The scrolls are what people talk about most. Cinnamon is the one to start with, and we've heard the pistachio, apple and toffee versions are worth trying too. Locals describe them as soft, gooey and generously sized, the sort you buy a box of for a dinner party and watch disappear. One person did find the original a touch light on cinnamon, so tastes vary.

Beyond the scrolls, there's a good run of matcha drinks, a biscoff cloud that gets particular affection, savoury options like the panini, and fresh cakes and cookies. Coffee is a proper drawcard, roasted in-house and pulled mainly as espresso.

Helpful staff are on hand, and one customer mentions fair value for the quality. It's fresh from the oven, with takeaway and delivery both on offer, and the delivered party orders have apparently arrived beautifully packaged. Access is good too, with a wheelchair-accessible entrance and seating, a hearing loop, and free street parking nearby. Hours are long and run through the week, but check before heading in.
