Why Choose A.P Bread & Wine (A.P Bakery)?

A.P Bread & Wine brings serious baking credentials to Darlinghurst, they mill their own flour and bake sourdough fresh daily, and it shows in every plate.

About A.P Bread & Wine (A.P Bakery)

A.P Bread & Wine is the Darlinghurst outpost of A.P Bakery, and it's as much a sit-down place as a bakery. The room is a heritage sandstone building with indoor and outdoor seating, and on a sunny morning there's usually a happy crowd out front. Locals describe the fitout as lovely, with a low, relaxed hum rather than a din.

The bakery side is the draw for many. A.P works directly with farmers and mills its own grain into flour at its Marrickville bakery, then bakes fresh bread daily, and the sourdough is what they're known for. Pastries come up constantly: one local sent others straight to the fig leaf kouign amann for its sweet-and-savoury balance, the scones go down well, and the Mont Blanc has its fans. Coffee gets a good word too.

It runs well beyond a grab-and-go counter. Breakfast and brunch are popular, with ricotta toast, an anchovy, pesto and soft-boiled egg toast, and a steamed egg breakfast sandwich all getting a mention, and the drowned eggs and hash browns come up often. From the middle of the week the kitchen opens into the evening, with a small-plates feel: pickled mussels, anchovy crostini, pasta and steak all have people talking, along with a standout dill pickle side and the 24 layer chocolate cake. They take reservations, cater, and do takeaway and custom cake orders, and there's wheelchair-accessible seating.

Staff are friendly and welcoming, though one local found service on a busy day a bit slow and aloof, and another was let down by a dry pancake and a bagel swap they weren't told about in advance. It isn't a cheap meal either, so expect to pay for the quality. If you want the bread and pastries, go early, and check the hours before heading in, since they differ across the week.
