    Unlike cramped inner-city spots, the venue features generous indoor seating and an open courtyard beneath the sun.

  • Arts Precinct Exploration Hub

    Tucked into the Collingwood Yards arts precinct, it offers a destination stop to grab pastries before browsing the surrounding galleries and markets.

    If you can't get a seat here, then just takeaway and wander around the Fitzroy area and markets, there's always lots to see!

  • Easy Collingwood Treat Run

    Its location off the main strip makes it a convenient, rewarding pickup point for takeaway morning pastries and chilled drinks.

    Eventho it’s not in the main road, it’s worth visiting. Definitey will come back if I visit Fitzroy area.

    The Garlic Cream Cheese Bun was definitely the highlight—it’s incredibly delicious, creamy, and has a fantastic garlic aroma.

  • Gochujang Cheese Scroll

    the gochujang cheese scroll) but it was GREAT: it was soft and had a nice bit of chew, the flavour wasn't overpowering which was good, very tomato-y, perfect spice, best eaten while warm.

Frequently Asked Questions

What style of food and pastries does Dua Bakehouse serve?

Dua Bakehouse specializes in Scandinasian baking, pairing Scandinavian formats with Southeast and East Asian flavors. Popular staples include the Pandan Princess Cake (combining traditional Swedish princess cake with pandan and palm sugar), gochujang cheese scrolls, garlic cream cheese buns, and various shiopan options like pandan or ramen egg and bacon.

Is it difficult to find a seat, and can you order takeaway?

Seating can be very hard to find on weekends, with long waits during busy periods. However, dine-in and takeout are both available, and the bakery features both indoor seating and an open courtyard at Collingwood Yards. If seats are full, grabbing takeaway to explore the surrounding precinct is a popular option.

What are the specialty matcha drinks like?

The drinks menu features specialty tea creations like the malted strawberry matcha, regular matcha, and hojicha, alongside coffee. Note that reviewer impressions of the matcha range from rich and creamy to a stronger, more bitter profile, and specialty combinations like the strawberry matcha can be quite thick and dessert-like.
