Why Choose Forestville Bakery?
Forestville Bakery draws steady praise for its doughnuts, custard tarts and almond croissants, and customers consistently return for custom cakes made fresh to order.

About Forestville Bakery
Forestville Bakery is the kind of neighbourhood bakery where the choice at the counter surprises first-timers. Pies, donuts, custard tarts, croissants, bread, salad rolls and even a banh mi share the cabinet, and there are vegan options too, including vegan cakes and treats. It's a proper bakery in Forestville that does a bit of everything, and does it fresh from the oven.
Pies are one of the things the place is known for, and the donuts get plenty of love, cinnamon ones in particular. One local calls them the best doughnuts going, and the custard tarts and almond croissants come in for the same kind of praise. If you're after something savoury, one person raved about the cheese and bacon roll as the best they'd ever had.
Cakes are a big part of the trade as well. Custom cake orders are on offer, and we've heard of birthday cakes designed with real care, sometimes with a box of donuts thrown in as a surprise. There's also a story of 18 neenish tarts made fresh within the hour for a last-minute bake sale. That sort of flexibility goes a long way when you're in a bind.
The welcoming staff are mentioned just as often as the baking. Lisa is the name locals use for the person running things, and the counter team gets described as welcoming, patient and happy to make recommendations. Prices are generally considered good value, although one visitor felt caught out by the cost of a packet of cookies that wasn't clearly priced, so it's worth asking before you buy anything unmarked.
You can sit down with a coffee and breakfast, grab takeaway, or have things delivered. Parking is easy, with free street parking and a free car park, and both the car park and the entrance are wheelchair accessible. They take cards and tap-to-pay. It's worth checking the hours before you head in, as the bakery opens early on most days and is closed one day a week.
