About Bougatsaki

If you're after traditional Greek bougatsa in Brunswick, this Sydney Road bakery is the place to know. The speciality is handcrafted filo wrapped around semolina custard, baked fresh daily and dusted by hand with icing sugar and cinnamon. It's a one-recipe kind of shop, handcrafted from a recipe carried from Greece.

One customer who knew the real thing from Greece was thrilled with the authenticity here. One person said it was better than what they'd eaten in Athens, and another was thrilled by how authentic the Melbourne version tastes. The bougatsa has a crisp, crunchy outside and the custard is sweet without being heavy. Beyond the classic, we've heard there are other toppings to try, and savoury options like spanakopita and cheese pie sit alongside the sweet pastries. The staff get a friendly mention too.

One person felt the portions were small for the price, so it's worth going in

They also take custom cake orders and offer catering, takeaway and delivery, and they supply cafés and restaurants around Melbourne. The shop has closed days early in the week, and it's worth checking the hours before you head in. One local suggests arriving before the end of the day, as the best pastries can go.
