Miss Sina

Miss Sina is a plant-based bakery in Dulwich Hill where vegan pastries win over people who came in sceptical. We hear that the baking is done from scratch daily, and the team behind it says it brings around 200 years of combined experience across its bakers and pastry chefs. Their own tagline calls it Sydney's home of bagels, buns and bakes, and the line out the door at busy times shows it draws a crowd.

The cinnamon scrolls are what people talk about first. Ask anyone who's been and you'll hear about the signature original scroll, gooey and warm, along with the Biscoff version, the donuts and a savoury cheese and Vegemite scroll. The pies and savoury bakes get a good word too, including a kimchi sausage roll that one local rated highly for a non-meat-eater's birthday outing. Breakfast and brunch are on the menu as well, and one visitor still raves about the scrambled tofu.

Beyond the counter, Miss Sina does speciality coffee, takeaway, dine-in and delivery, plus custom cake orders and catering across Sydney. Plant-based milk doesn't cost extra, which regulars appreciate. There are tables inside and out, step-free access, free street parking nearby and easy public transport, and they take cards and tap payments.

Helpful staff come up again and again, and people mention the team by first name, like Felicia and Jess, for making them feel welcome. Weekends get busy, so expect a queue if you're short on time, though we've heard the food comes out quickly once you've ordered. Locals are a little split on some of the more experimental drinks, so stick with the baking if you're unsure.

It's open daily, with slightly longer hours on weekends, but check before you head in. If you're after a bakery in Dulwich Hill with something for vegans and non-vegans alike, start with a scroll and a coffee.
