About Lode Pies & Pastries Circular Quay
Lode Pies & Pastries is a small bakery at Circular Quay in Sydney, and it takes a little finding. It sits down a narrow alley off Pitt Street, near the Salesforce Tower, so keep an eye out for the shopfront rather than heading into the tower itself. Once you're there, they've been making and baking since 2021, and it's clear the handmade approach is the whole point.
Pies are what people talk about most. The wagyu and mushroom is a regular favourite, with a buttery, flaky crust and chunky, tender beef inside. A beef and mushroom pie has won over at least one person who'd been hunting for a good meat pie for a while. It's a premium pie and priced that way, though people tend to feel the quality justifies it. A couple of folks find the pastry on the rich, greasy side, and it's a messy one to eat, so a knife and fork comes with it.
On the pastry side, the pistachio croissant gets plenty of praise, along with the other laminated pastries, where you can see and taste every layer. The passion fruit custard tart is smooth and not overly sweet, and the sausage roll with its flaky puff pastry and seeded top has its fans too. Savoury options also include a spinach and goat's cheese pastie, though one visitor found it a little mild. The odd grumble surfaces that certain things sell out late in the day, so going earlier gives you more to choose from.
The staff are friendly, and a number of people mention the kind service at the counter. You can dine in or take away, and the bakery also does online ordering for pickup. Coffee and breakfast are on offer, the entrance is wheelchair accessible, and cards and mobile payments are accepted. It runs weekdays only and is closed on weekends, so check the hours before you head in.
Come for a pie and a pastry together if you can; that's the combination most people leave happy with.
