Why Choose Baker Bleu?

Baker Bleu is known for sourdough that hits the mark, soft and spongy with a properly chewy, crusty exterior, and croissants built on quality foundations and baked dark with real crunch. The fougasse, shaped like a wheat ear with crisp edges and onion and rosemary flavour, is a standout for sharing. Welcoming staff and good value make it a solid stop for quality pastry and a coffee in Double Bay.

About Baker Bleu

Baker Bleu is a Double Bay bakery that locals tend to talk about in terms of crust and crunch. The sourdough is the thing most people bring up: soft and spongy inside, properly chewy outside, and good enough that a simple sandwich on it makes the trip worthwhile. The village bread has its fans too, for sandwiches, dips and plain snacking, and the fougasse (shaped like an ear of wheat, with crisp edges and an onion and rosemary flavour) gets rave mentions as something to tear apart and share.

Then there are the croissants. The plain one is baked dark with real crunch and plenty of layers, and the sourdough croissant has its admirers as well. The almond yuzu version splits opinion, with some loving it and one local finding the icing too sweet, so it may come down to taste. Beyond the pastry case, the sandwiches get praise for generous fillings that stay on the right side of over the top, and there are also rye bread, custard tarts, bagels and a hot cross bun alternative that turns up year round. The coffee gets a good word too, and prices are often described as fair for the quality.

You can eat in or take away, and in-store pick-up and shopping are available. There is breakfast, coffee, a wheelchair-accessible entrance and toilet, and card and mobile payments. It is also LGBTQ+ friendly. The bakery opens daily, though it's worth checking the hours before you head in.

Staff are generally described as friendly, though one local found service a bit dismissive on a couple of visits, so the experience may vary. The shop has two ordering counters, one on either side, which can leave newcomers unsure where to queue. If you're stuck, ask someone and you'll be pointed the right way. Overall, people keep coming back to this bakery in Double Bay for the bread and the pastry, and plenty of regulars happily put it among their favourites.
