Why Choose Baker Bleu?

Baker Bleu is highly regarded for its sourdough and a full range of pastries and baked goods, croissants, almond croissants, cinnamon scrolls and kouign-amann among them. The shop offers both takeaway and dine-in, with outdoor seating, coffee and breakfast available, and locals regularly queue weekends to pick up fresh bread and pastries.

About Baker Bleu

Baker Bleu is a Caulfield North bakery known for its sourdough, and there's often a queue out the front. Ask anyone who's been, and the loaves come up first: sourdough is what keeps people coming back, and it's the kind of place where people line up out the front on weekends. Takeaway and dine-in are both on offer, and there's room to sit outside with a coffee, a friend or the dog.

Beyond bread, there's a range of pastries and baked goods in the cabinet. Croissants, bagels, an almond croissant, cinnamon scrolls, fruit buns and kouign-amann all get mentioned, along with sausage rolls, sandwiches and a margherita pizza. One local who keeps coming back has found the pastries and sandwiches consistently excellent, with everything they've tried being a winner. Coffee, tea and loose-leaf chai lattes are on the menu, and breakfast is part of the offering too. It's all described as made in-house and fresh from the oven.

Some people have found the odd loaf or pastry baked a little too dark, and one would prefer the almond croissant icing less sweet or the original recipe back. Prices sit a touch above average, though one local reckons the quality justifies it. The shopfront is small, so busy periods get cosy, and popular loaves can be snapped up or sell out, so earlier in the day gives you the best pick.

For practical details, in-store shopping and pick-up are both available, and cards and tap-and-go payments are accepted. There's free street parking nearby, and the seating is wheelchair accessible. Opening hours vary a little through the week, so check them before you head in.

If you're after a sourdough loaf, a flaky morning pastry or a coffee and a bite in Caulfield North, this is a bakery to try, and weekdays are usually calmer than weekends.
