Why Choose Palms Artisan Bakery?

Palms Artisan Bakery is known locally for its sourdough and pastries done right, croissants that strike the balance between flaky and substantial, and rye and grainy loaves that keep locals coming back. The staff are friendly and attentive, the coffee is excellent, and there's comfortable seating out the front to enjoy a morning coffee and pastry in Forster.

About Palms Artisan Bakery

Palms Artisan Bakery is a takeaway-first bakery in Forster that also has a few seats out the front, and it's a handy stop for breakfast. The ham baguette comes up often, with crusty bread and a generous filling, and the coffee is a Little Marionette brew that is enjoyed by visitors. Locals will tell you the sourdough is the main event, from a rye and grainy loaf to the daily fresh bread, and the pies get a good word too, along with a spinach and ricotta roll that people mention.

The pastry cabinet is where it gets interesting. Croissants, pain au chocolat and almond croissant are popular choices, and the Danishes change with the season. One person called the lemon meringue tart the best they'd ever eaten, with a crisp short crust and a zesty curd. Filled focaccia and a hazelnut donut round things out. If you'd rather not eat in the queue, one customer suggests taking your coffee and pastry out the back to the water's edge.

We've heard the staff behind the counter are friendly, and things come out fresh from the oven. Opinion isn't unanimous on every item, and one visitor was disappointed by a tart that wasn't what the label led them to expect, so it's worth asking at the counter if you're after something specific.

The car park and seating are wheelchair accessible, and cards and mobile payments are taken. Hours run mornings into early afternoon, so check before you head in.
