About Daybaker
Daybaker is a neighbourhood bakery in Abbotsford, Victoria. It works directly with local farmers and producers, so what's in the cabinet leans seasonal, with morning pastries and simple lunches built around good produce.
Pastry is what people talk about. Locals rave about the lemon meringue tart with olive oil and finger lime, with its flaky shell and fluffy meringue. The morning bun, cinnamon and sugar around a custard centre, gets just as much love, and the croissants are described as buttery, light and not too sweet. We've heard the savoury side holds its own too: the salt beef pastry and the sausage roll both have their champions, and the cracked corn bomba is a favourite for those who like something less sweet.
The bread gets its share of praise as well. One local rated the chicken sandwich mainly for the baguette-style loaf, chewy inside with a crisp bite, rather than for the filling itself. The coffee and matcha are well liked, and the Tonka blanc iced filter coffee, topped with a sweet bean cream, is a fun one to try.
Go early. The best pastries sell out, and plenty of people say mid-morning can already be too late. A small queue can form soon after opening, though the service is quick and friendly, and the open-plan space lets you watch the bakers at work.
Daybaker does takeaway and dine-in. The car park, entrance and seating are all wheelchair-accessible. Check the hours before you head in, and aim for the morning.
