About Northcote Bakeshop

High Street's 6am beacon pairs serious sourdough and flaky viennoiserie with an unexpected Asian-inspired savoury cabinet. Commuters drop in daily before the rest of the strip stirs, picking up flat whites alongside crisp almond croissants or piping-hot beef sausage rolls. The counter stays unpredictable—turning out dim sum and kimchi focaccia next to seasonal fruit danishes and morning buns warmed right on cue.

  • Daily 6am starts: Doors open from 6am seven days a week, supplying early commuters with fresh coffee and hot pastries before most of the strip wakes up.
  • Eclectic savoury cabinet: The cabinet balances classic butter pastry with kimchi focaccia, bao, and crispy fried prawn dim sum.
  • Produce-led rotations: Batches rotate around seasonal produce, showcasing treats like cherry brownies and fruit danishes when harvests peak.

Why Choose Northcote Bakeshop

Why locals make Northcote Bakeshop their destination for morning fuel, seasonal pastries, and unique savory bakes.

  • High-Calibre Daily Baking

    Consistently crafted sourdough loaves, artisan pastries, and hot savory items make regular bakery runs dependable and satisfying.

    I’ve found the prices to be really reasonable, especially for the calibre of the products.

  • Artisan Pastries Paired with Quality Coffee

    Specialty coffee paired with freshly baked goods provides an exceptional daily morning ritual.

    Outstanding food, pasteries including presentation. Not your average bakery. Good coffee.

  • Early-Morning 6am Start

    Opening early at 6am provides commuters a reliable pit stop for freshly brewed coffee and hot breakfast staples before other spots open.

    Thankfully open from 6am, lifesaver for those early starts!

  • Seven-Day Schedule Dependability

    A 7-day operating schedule removes the uncertainty of awkward rest-day closures typical among artisan bakeries.

    Plus they are open 7 days, unlike most of the others that have kinda awkward hours.

  • Inventive Seasonal Fruit Creations

    A rotating menu of seasonal fruit treats keeps repeat visits engaging and distinct throughout the year.

    They change their products based on the season, which makes each visit feel special.

  • Sausage Roll

    The sausage roll was firm and delicious but not pure flakiness like the ones at some of the other fancy bakeries.

  • Coffee

    Great coffee and irresistible aroma of freshly baked goods. It's a sanctuary for those who enjoy the early hours and simple joys of life

    Harleen Aurora
