About Sugardough

Sugardough is a neighbourhood bakery-cafe in Brunswick East with a split personality that works in its favour: a cabinet full of pies, cakes and slices on one side, and a Vietnamese-leaning menu of banh mi, pho and Vietnamese coffee on the other. Locals tend to describe the feel as a country bakery that happens to sit in the middle of Melbourne.

Bread is where one customer starts. The sourdough is baked on site, and we've heard the paninis and the sourdough served with eggs are worth ordering for the loaf alone. Pies get a good word too. One local called the pastry-to-meat ratio spot on, with no gristle, and the homemade tomato sauce on the side earned its own praise.

The cake and slice selection is the other big draw. The cabinets are known to be well stocked, and a breakfast tart and a Camembert quiche appear on the menu. Custom cake orders are on offer, and one local picked up a birthday cake here and was happy with it. Another found a custom cupcake order didn't go to plan, so it's sensible to be clear about flavour and quote when you ask.

Prices come up again and again as a pleasant surprise. People get in touch reasonable for the quality and range, which suits a place where you can sit down for brunch, grab a coffee, or take something away. Dine-in, takeaway and delivery are all available, and there's a little garden spot out the back for sitting outside. The entrance is wheelchair accessible, and card and tap payments are accepted.

The staff are described as friendly and attentive, and the Vietnamese coffee has its own fans. One visitor felt the room could use some air conditioning on a warm day, so a cooler morning might suit.

Opening hours run through the day, seven days a week, but check before heading in if you're after something particular.
