About Sourdough Kitchen

Sourdough Kitchen is a bakery and cafe in Ashburton, Victoria, and sourdough is what it's named for. We hear the loaves are the draw, with spelt and fruit bun among the favourites, and you can pre-order and pick up, which locals say is handled promptly. Custom cake orders are on offer too, and one local says the almond croissants were so good they had a tower of them in place of a wedding cake.

The pastry case is where a lot of the talk goes. People keep coming back for the almond croissant, the lemon almond biscuit and the coffee scroll, described as moist, chewy and crisp in all the right places. The sandwiches and toasties get a nod, including a ham and cheese toastie that's crisp outside, soft inside and generous with the ham.

You can dine in or take away, and there's coffee on the menu. Most people rate it highly, though one local found a cup a touch burnt. Seating is limited, so it suits a quick stop better than a long sit. We've heard the staff are friendly, with the manager checking that everyone's been looked after, and prices come across as fair for the quality.

There's a wheelchair-accessible car park, and cards and mobile payments are accepted. Hours run across the week, including weekends, but check before you head in.
