About Humble Bakery
For a bakery in Surry Hills that covers both sides of the counter, Humble Bakery is a busy, popular stop. Locals come for the pastry cabinet and the baked-fresh bread, and the queue tends to move along. There's indoor seating towards the back and a few outdoor tables too, handy for a coffee and some people watching.
The pastry work draws comment. Cinnamon scrolls are a favourite, and the almond croissant is flaky and buttery. The finger bun is on the menu with a generous slab of butter on top, and the carrot cake appeals to people who like old-school flavours done properly. Regulars also point to the focaccia, crusty outside and soft within, the sausage rolls, and a Basque cheesecake that lands well. On the savoury side, there's quiche Lorraine, a mortadella sandwich packed with good ingredients, and a bacon and egg roll that one local called a simple breakfast done exceptionally well. Seasonal bakes like hot cross buns turn up too.
Beyond the counter, they take custom cake orders, offer gluten-free options and do catering. You can eat in, take away, collect in store or have things delivered, and there's free street parking nearby, plus a wheelchair-accessible entrance.
A couple of people found it pricey for what they got, and the odd visit has come with patchy service, though staff like Liz are mentioned warmly for making people feel welcome. It's also the sort of place where a few items win people over more than others, so ordering what locals rave about is a smart move.
Weekday hours run into the mid-afternoon, with a slightly later start and earlier finish on weekends, so check before you head in.

What Customers Say on Google
“The exterior had a beautifully crusty texture with a rich olive oil flavour, while the inside was soft and fluffy. The bread was delicious on its own…”
“I've been to heaps of cafes around sydney just to try almond croissants and this one definitely stays in the top threes… Super flaky, buttery and the fillings are impressive.”
“The finger bun and carrot cake, in particular, brought back wonderful childhood memories of the cakes I loved growing up.”
