About Northcote Bakeshop
Northcote Bakeshop is a sourdough bakery in Northcote, Victoria, and the loaves are what the shop is built around. One person called the country loaf a good place to start, and the sourdough turns up again in the sandwiches, including a halloumi, pumpkin and beetroot roll that one person called the best sandwich they'd ever eaten.
The pastry cabinet gets just as much attention. The almond croissant is described by one person as the best they'd had, crunchy outside and soft within, with a good balance of butter and sweetness. One person raved about the cinnamon scroll, and one person loved the Vegemite pastry. Pies and sausage rolls are part of the story too, along with a kimchi focaccia and a ham and cheese croissant that's loaded with filling. The range shifts with the seasons, so a cherry Danish or cherry brownie might appear when cherries are in. We've heard the sweets tend to be well balanced rather than sugary, and there's a "come back cookie" that has earned its name.
Everything leans on local, ethical ingredients, and it shows in the fresh-from-the-oven feel of the place. Coffee and breakfast are on offer, so it works for a quick morning stop as well as a loaf to take home. Takeaway and in-store pick-up are both available, and you can pay by card or phone.
The staff get warm mentions, with one cashier described as patient and welcoming, and the vibe is cosy and a little compact. Seating is limited, so plan on taking your haul with you at busy times. One person found the music a touch loud at the counter, which is a minor grumble against all the praise.
The bakery opens early most days and closes up in the early afternoon, with some evening trade later in the week, so check the hours before you head in.
