About Staple Bakery Manly
Staple Bakery in Manly keeps things simple: natural bread and pastries, baked fresh and sold seven days a week from a minimalist little shop near the wharf. Their own tagline, "natural bread & necessities", sums it up well.
Sourdough is what customers mention. Ask anyone who's been and you'll hear about the wholemeal sourdough in particular, with one Swiss visitor saying it came very close to the loaves back home, and the staff are happy to talk through the different flours if you're curious. There's also gluten-free bread stocked in the freezer, and vegan options too, which makes this an easy stop for mixed households.
Then there are the pastries. The croissants and pain au chocolat are popular, along with a cheese and oregano croissant, the escargot and a vegetable roll that one regular called their new favourite. Opinions on the croissants vary a little, with some people wanting them richer and more buttery. The team is friendly, and the weekend crew gets a particular mention.
Popular loaves can sell out, so we've heard the occasional grumble from people arriving later in the morning. Going early is the safest bet. Hours are posted as a morning trade, so check before you head in.
You can grab takeaway, pick up a coffee and breakfast, or ask about delivery. Cards and mobile payments are accepted.

What Customers Say on Google
“The bread is as good as if it was made in a French village. Fresh croissants and pain au chocolat!”
“I've been on the hunt for good bread in Australia that can keep up with Swiss bread and have to say I was pleasantly surprised. We had some great interaction with the guy at the store who explained the different flours and recommended some.”
“My daughter loves the Noni's gluten-free loaves which they also stock (in freezer) which are exceptional, way better than supermarket gluten free bread!”
