Why Choose The Market Bread Bar?

About The Market Bread Bar

Found inside Adelaide Central Market, The Market Bread Bar is a stall that makes sourdough its main business. The tagline says "sourdough and sweets", and that sums up the counter well.

Beyond the sourdough, the range runs wide. We hear about Lebanese bread, pita, naan, ciabatta, wraps and traditional Greek biscuits, plus savoury bakes like spanakopita and cheese filo, and croissants. Baklava and other daily sweets round things out. One visitor from Melbourne said they wanted one of everything and came away raving about the sourdough baguette.

The gluten-free range is a real draw. A customer with coeliac family members appreciates the separate case that keeps those items away from the regular bread and pastries, and the gluten-free sweets are popular, particularly the cream cheese raspberry cupcake and the lamington. Opinion on the gluten-free loaf itself is split, with one local finding it too dense, so you might try the sweets first.

People generally describe the prices as fair and the staff as friendly, though it's a busy market stall and the odd person has found the service a bit brisk. Freshness has also drawn the occasional grumble, so check your bread over and eat it soon after buying. Everything is takeaway, which suits a market wander, and cards and tap payments are accepted. Check the hours before you head in, as the stall keeps market-style trading days.
