About Dulce Bakehouse

This Delahey staple bridges Melbourne bakery culture with regional South American baking—anchored by a legendary vanilla slice lined with rich dulce de leche. Regulars line up on Sunday mornings for warm, thin-crusted beef and chicken empanadas alongside horn-shaped cuernitos and torta mil hojas. The glass counter also makes room for modern crossovers like matcha vanilla slice and Dubai chocolate croissants, right beside crusty loaves of marraqueta.

  • Signature Dulce de Leche Vanilla Slice: Flaky pastry layers with smooth custard, balanced sweetness, and a signature bottom spread of dulce de leche.
  • Hot Empanadas & Traditional Breads: Savory chicken and beef hand pies baked in thin crusts alongside fresh, crunchy marraqueta bread loaves.
  • Heritage Sweets & Modern Flavour Twists: Classic South American sweets like torta mil hojas sit beside matcha-infused slices and Dubai chocolate croissants.

Before you head over

Key tips on timing, exclusive pastry selections, and ordering to make the most of your visit.

    Sunday mornings get very busy and popular items sell out quickly, with empanadas nearly gone earlier in the day. Arrive early to secure your favorites.

  • Seek Out Location-Exclusive Pastries

    The specialty matcha vanilla slice is an exclusive creation available only at the original Delahey location, making it worth stopping by this specific shop.

  • Factor In Weekend Surcharges

    Expect a 10% Sunday surcharge alongside a 1.6% card surcharge when settling your bill on weekends.
