Why Choose Bourke Street Bakery?
Bourke Street Bakery is known locally for sourdough and standout pies and sausage rolls made fresh throughout the day.

The compact Surry Hills spot offers takeaway, dine-in and catering, with friendly service and good value for handmade pastry goods.
About Bourke Street Bakery
Bourke Street Bakery is a neighbourhood bakery, and the Surry Hills spot still has the feel of a small neighbourhood bakery. It's a compact place with only a seat or two inside and a few tables out the front, where you can watch the light rail go by. Sydney's OG Bakery, as they call themselves, makes its food by hand, and the pastry counter is where most people start.
Pies and sausage rolls draw customers in. We hear the pork and fennel sausage roll comes out piping hot with flaky pastry and a juicy filling, and the beef pies get plenty of love for buttery, light crusts and generous meat without too much gravy. The beef brisket and red wine jus pie comes up a lot too. One local found the pie decent but not extraordinary. The sourdough and the almond croissant are also part of the regular rotation, and baked goods are often straight from the oven.
Then there's the ginger brûlée tart. Even people who say they don't usually like ginger rave about it, with its crisp caramelised top and creamy centre. If you're a ginger sceptic, though, one visitor suggests giving it a miss. The banana bread, bacon and egg roll and smashed avo with feta have been mentioned by customers, and the coffee is a good match for all of it.
You can dine in, take away or order catering, and the bakery also does breakfast. There's wheelchair-accessible seating, a free car park and all the usual card and mobile payment options, and it's LGBTQ+ friendly. Staff are friendly and happy to chat or tweak a coffee order. Locals see it as good value for what you get, although one visitor felt a weekend surcharge was a bit much, so it's worth asking at the counter.
It's a popular little spot, so expect a squeeze at busy times. Check the opening hours before you head in, and grab a pie or sausage roll while you're there.
