The space is relaxed and accessible, with helpful staff and a cafe ethos that invites lingering.
About Tokyo Lamington & the Bakery
Tokyo Lamington & the Bakery is a bakery in Marrickville, and alongside lamingtons they also offer savoury items and beverages. The lamingtons are the draw, and they come in flavours you won't find at your usual corner shop: yuzu meringue, mango sticky rice, sakura, Milo, vanilla and passionfruit, and a classic original with jam through the middle. The kind of place where you pick a few and share them around the table.
Locals will tell you the savoury side is no afterthought. The pies get plenty of love, with the curry pie and the beef pepper pie both getting a mention, and there are quiches and croissants alongside. The onigiri are another favourite, made fresh to order and served warm. Pair any of it with a coffee made on ONA beans, or a matcha latte if that's more your style.
It runs as a proper cafe as well as a takeaway bakery, so you can dine in or grab a box to go. Custom cake orders and vegan options are on offer, and delivery is available if you'd rather have it come to you. The space is relaxed and a little retro, with cute seating and music that suits a slow morning or afternoon. Friendly, attentive staff come up again and again, and people regularly describe the prices as good value for what you get.
Some find the flavour combinations a bit adventurous, and one local felt the menu was limited and the portions small for the price. But the overall impression around Marrickville is warm, and plenty of people head back for another round.
Practical bits: there's free street parking nearby, and the entrance, seating and toilet are all wheelchair accessible. Cards and tap payments are accepted. They're open seven days a week during the day, so it's worth confirming the opening times.
