Why Choose Penelope Bakery and Coffee Roaster?

About Penelope Bakery and Coffee Roaster

Penelope Bakery and Coffee Roaster is a small independent bakery in Redfern that mills its own flour in-house and matures everything it bakes for 72 hours. It also roasts its coffee on site in small batches, and the whole approach is shaped by Greek baking heritage and a love of fermentation.

Locals keep coming back for the scrolls, particularly the cinnamon variety. The cheese melt is another regular favourite, along with a cabinet that people describe as impressive for the price. Spinach and feta triangles, lamingtons, carrot cake and a banana maple treat that isn't too sweet all get a nod, and the matcha and iced drinks have their fans too. You can dine in or take away, and the space has a cosy feel that suits a quiet catch-up.

The coffee is a big part of the appeal, and we've heard plenty of people call it consistently good. Staff come across as friendly and welcoming, and good value is something people bring up often. One visitor found the wait for drinks and food dragged on a busy day, so allow a little extra time if you're in a hurry.

Hours are posted for every day of the week, but check before you head in if you're planning around a particular time.
