About A1 Bakery Fitzroy
A1 Bakery Fitzroy is the Fitzroy branch of a Lebanese bakery and café that has been going since 1992, with its flagship in Brunswick and other stores in Highpoint. Authentic Lebanese bread, pies and pizza are the heart of it, along with manoush, Middle Eastern groceries and coffee. If you're after a bakery in Fitzroy, Victoria, that does things in the traditional style, this is one to know.
Fresh from the oven is how locals describe it. Baking happens on site, and people talk about the smell hitting you as you walk in and about watching things come out in front of you. The pies are popular: cheese, spinach and cheese, halloumi, and the shanklish pie, whose spices are not for anyone who likes their food bland. Spinach triangles, falafel and hummus come up often too. Someone who ordered the zaatar, which is the same thing as manoush, called it the perfect on-the-go breakfast with a coffee.
You can eat in, take away, pick up in store, or have it delivered, and they cater as well. The space is open and airy, and the wheelchair-accessible entrance, seating and car park, plus free street parking, make it easy to get to. They take cards and tap-and-pay, and they're open every day of the week, though it's worth checking the hours before you head in.
The mood here gets plenty of praise. We hear the staff are friendly and quick, the owner is often smiling, and the coffee is better than you might expect from a bakery. Prices are fair for what you get, and portions are generous.
A couple of locals who know the original Brunswick shop well felt a spinach and cheese triangle or a platter wrap here didn't quite match it, and one longtime customer had a bad experience with the service on a busy day. Most who visit come away happy, though, and the pies are the safest place to start.
