About Taste Baguette

Taste Baguette in Zetland is a bakery-cafe with a French-meets-Vietnamese approach: sourdough baguettes, pastries and noodle bowls, with a coffee counter that gets plenty of use. It's part of a wider chain, so the formula is a familiar one, and the Zetland shop runs it with a seating area, outdoor tables and a good-with-kids feel.

Pastries are where we've heard the warmest talk. Locals say they're baked fresh each morning, and one person says the smell carries across the street. The cinnamon bun, the cinnamon scroll and the chocolate and almond croissants all come up as favourites, and the pies and scrolls have their fans too. Coffee gets a good run, with customers appreciating the iced latte, and the team remembering regular orders.

On the savoury side, the baguettes are the main event. The lemongrass beef is a regular's default, and a roast pork baguette with brie, rocket and honey mustard mayo gets praised for crispy skin and a properly crusty roll. Beyond that, the menu covers sourdough loaves, takeaway or dine-in, breakfast, brunch and lunch, vegetarian options, and catering and custom cake orders if you're planning something bigger.

The staff are often described as friendly, with some regulars singling out people at the counter by name. We've heard a grumble about a premade baguette that didn't match the shop's old standard, and a couple of people felt let down by service on certain visits. If you have an allergy, ask the counter directly before ordering.

They're open long hours every day of the week, handy for an early coffee or an evening bite, though it's worth checking the hours before you head in. It suits anyone near Zetland after a flaky pastry, a good baguette or a coffee to go.
