About Cedar Bakery

Cedar Bakery is a Lebanese-inspired bakery and café in Preston, Victoria, and it works as a bakery, a café and a bit of a grocery all in one. The idea is family-tradition cooking, with pastries, flatbreads and specialty coffee under the one roof. It has a strong local reputation, and the pies, pizzas and Middle Eastern breakfast and lunch dishes are a big part of why.

Cedar Bakery's baked goods are popular in Preston. The menu features fresh from the oven items, with pies a particular strength, plus the cheese and za'atar manoushe, spinach and cheese triangles and cheese pie. There's also a spread of dips, falafel and fatteh on the café side. One local compared the food to their grandmother's cooking and said the pickles were spot on. Another rates the Chicken Tawook as a favourite, with a tip to ask for the hot sauce on the side, and a heads-up that bigger appetites might want extra meat.

The coffee gets a good word too. One regular was pleasantly surprised by how a latte arrived, with the extra shot served on the side.

Service is mostly praised. People describe friendly, welcoming staff and a counter team that helps you choose from a wide range. Not everyone has had a flawless visit, though. We've heard of a slow wait for heated takeaway pies on a busy day, and one afternoon visit where a pizza came out overdone. Those sound like the exception, but it's worth knowing if you're in a hurry.

The space suits groups. There's plenty of seating inside, pet-friendly seating outside, and an accessible entrance and car park, with free street parking nearby. Dine-in, takeaway and delivery are all on offer, vegan options are available, and they also cater for team meetings, family gatherings and private events. Families are a common sight, so if you want a quieter table, going early helps. They're open seven days, and it's smart to look up the hours.
