Bourke Street Bakery

It is a bit small and quite busy but service is fast at the counter. Specialty salad with tofu was much too pricey for what it was (pre-​packaged).

Awesome food, coffee and staff. Definitely will be returning here. Crème brûlée for the win.

I’ve always been a fan of the Surry Hills bakery so when this one opened in Parramatta I was super excited! You can’t really go wrong for baked goods and coffee at Bourke Street Bakery. I can’t think of a single thing I wouldn’t eat here. My personal favourite foods include the Pork and Fennel Sausage Rolls, the Pulled Pork Sandwich, Fresh Lemonade, Chocolate Mousse and Raspberry Tart and the Dark Chocolate and Cherry Cookie.
Eat all the foods. You won’t regret it.

Definitely a twist on the ordinary Crème brûlée, adding ginger works a treat! It wasn’t too sweet in a way that makes you feel sick after. Tasty. Simple. Cute. Felt content after eating it. The staff are friendly! They also sell breads, other cakes and pastries, tea and coffee. Something for everybody!

Have to say I’m pretty underwhelmed with this place. I am disgusted any time I go into a café to order tea and they bring out a pot with a teabag hanging out the side. Not even a pyramid teabag; just a cheap crushed tea leaves teabag. Especially if they’re charging $ 4 for it and it takes ten minutes to «make». We also ordered a tomato and cheese croissant plus a quiche. The quiche was quite nice but the croissant was burnt and dry. Doubt I’ll be back.

After a friend of mine suggested Bourke Street Bakery in Parramatta to try out their infamous Crème Brulee, I was eager to have a taste.
Unfortunately for me, they had sold out of Crème Brulees (I arrived their at 3pm so i guess they must be pretty popular)
However, FORTUNATELY for me, since I was already lured into the bakery and gawking at the delicious tarts, I had the urge to purchase two of the tarts (~$ 10 together) which I do not regret depositing most of my daily calories into.
The furnishing of the interior and exterior of the store is quite retro and the feels of raw-​ness, but its just the perfect balance. I will definitely be coming back for a visit,. until I get my crème brûlée ;)

Bookmarked the Surry Hill’s area for quite awhile now and was amazed to find one in Parramatta area. Walkable distance to the bus interchange and the Parramatta station.
I probably passed by this store a few weeks ago but didn’t pay attention at the name. Decided to drop by on a Saturday morning (around 10am) before heading to another activity. There were 5 – 6 people ahead of me and the queue dies down pretty fast as I managed to order both Pork and Fennel Sausage Roll and Croissant within 5 minutes for takeaway.
Price wise it was decent. Managed to get both items for less than $ 10. Score!
Tried the butter croissant first. It was flaky and not too salty. You can taste the freshness of the croissant as if it just came out from the oven. Definitely one of the best croissants I’ve ever tasted thus far.
Pork and Fennel Sausage Roll was the hit keyword under the Surry Hill’s business listing so decided to try that out. The outer layer was flaky and the meat was juicy. I kept chomping for more till the brown bag was empty. The chicken, pumpkin and tarragon was pretty good too. Tried the lamb sausage roll too on my third visit but still prefer the pork and fennel sausage roll among the different rolls.
Tried the pizza as well. Good portion for great price. Love the pizza base (crispy and chewy) and the spin around the ingredients.
Pear and vanilla iced tea is a refreshing and fruity drink. Good option for non-​coffee drinkers like me. Old school lemonade wasn’t my cup of tea — a little too sour.
The white chocolate, passion fruit and meringue tart was pretty unique combination too. But the tart base was a little tough to bite. Love the sweet and sour combination of the tart :)
Overall, love this bakery — unique taste of the baked goods and the freshness of the ingredients as well as reasonable pricing. Great addition to Parramatta :)

Good atmosphere. Ample seating, fast service and friendly staff. Coffee and food here were perfect remedies for a cold Autumn day.
