The BSB juggernaut rolls on – outlets here, in Surry Hills and Marrickville, a cookbook on shelves and lines of slavering fans queuing out the door for specialty spelt sourdough and magnificent mellow coffee. There’s little better than snagging a couple of pork-and-fennel or lamb-and-harissa sausage rolls, a loaf of sourdough, maybe some of their chorizo and thyme-studded hot bread, and a tray of assorted sweetcakes (we love the sugar scrolls, the pain au chocolat and the teeny ginger brulee tarts).
Bourke Street Bakery is also open in Marrickville, Neutral Bay, Potts Point and Surry Hills.
