Why Choose Le Artisan Bakery?

Le Artisan Bakery blends French-inspired and Vietnamese-style baking with striking results: the crispy pork banh mi and chunky pies with real meat draw regulars across town, while the vanilla slice and buttery croissants are consistently praised. Staff are warm and attentive, and the bakery welcomes dine-in and takeaway with coffee and breakfast options.

About Le Artisan Bakery

Le Artisan Bakery on Preston Road in Manly West is a small, easy-to-miss spot that bakes French-inspired and Vietnamese-style goods side by side. That mix is the draw: sourdough, croissants, pastries and pies in the cabinet, with banh mi and Vietnamese noodle salads alongside.

The crispy pork banh mi gets people driving across town. The pies are the other talking point, with chunky pepper steak and real pieces of meat rather than mince, in a flaky crust that holds up. Then there's the vanilla slice, which a few people call the best they've had. We've also heard good things about the almond croissants, the lamingtons and the freshly baked bread rolls.

They make custom cakes, and one local who placed a late order for a red velvet birthday cake said they still pulled it off, and it turned out tall and beautifully layered. Catering is on offer too, so it's worth asking about timing. Staff are known for being friendly and remembering regulars, and there's coffee and breakfast if you want a bite while you're there.

It's mostly a takeaway bakery. Seating is limited to a table or two and some footpath space, so plan on taking your order with you. There's free street parking and a free car park nearby, plus wheelchair-accessible parking and entry. Check the hours before you head in, as they close one day a week.
