About Double Dutch Bakery

On Stubbs Street, Double Dutch Bakery pairs early-morning scratch baking with dialed-in espresso from Kensington neighbour Rumble Coffee. Commuters count on baristas pulling the Haymaker blend for a dependable flat white. By midday, local workers clear out the display for the chorizo and maple cheese roll—or grab a hefty sanga stacked on bread fresh from the morning ovens.

  • Specialty Espresso: Flat whites, iced lattes, and batch brews poured with signature blends like Haymaker from partner roaster Rumble.
  • Fresh-Baked Sangas: Hearty midday sandwiches and sourdough slices built on loaves pulled warm from the morning oven.
  • Scratch Viennoiserie: Flaky croissants, rich chocolate brownies, and Turkish-style simit bread rings that vanish by midday.
  • Gourmet Savory Rolls: Buttery, house-baked pastries stuffed with chorizo and maple cheese or pork and fennel.

  • Attentive Coffee Palate Guidance

    Baristas actively converse with guests about extraction profiles, thoughtfully encouraging drinkers to taste coffees without sweeteners to appreciate the roasted bean nuances.

    Staff provide one-on-one recommendations on Rumble whole bean profiles, grind styles, and home-brewing gear so customers can reproduce specialty cafe standards at home.

Before you head over

Practical guidance on pastry timing, counter layout, and ordering—book ahead or plan your visit early to get the best of the batch.

  • Arrive Early for In-Demand Bakes

    Popular daily items like the Turkish-style simit bread rings and fresh-baked loaves move fast and frequently sell out before noon. Aim for an early morning stop to guarantee your pick from the display cabinet.

  • Expect Limited Bar Stools

    The bakery is thoughtfully arranged primarily for swift takeaway trade, accompanied by only a few stools at a compact bar counter. Plan on grabbing your order to go or stopping by solo for a brief perch.

  • Take Your Coffee Unsweetened

    The counter does not stock honey—only specialty sugar—and baristas openly suggest trying your Rumble Coffee roast unsweetened, letting the blend's natural sweetness and extraction carry the cup.
