About Ocab Bakery

Tucked just off Ballarat Street, Ocab Bakery turns out crusty European hearth loaves and laminated viennoiserie with equal precision. Regulars make a habit of pairing a flat white with cream-piped croissants, though the savory warmers hold their own draw—notably a mushroom and leek pie packed into flaky pastry. Inside, lounge pockets and sidewalk tables provide plenty of breathing room, and the counter team will happily run your spelt loaf through the slicer before you head out.

  • Hearth Loaves & Viennoiserie: Oven-fresh sourdough, spelt loaves, and baguettes share counter space with cream-filled croissants and fruit Danishes.
  • Dedicated Vegetarian Savories: The hot savory warmer features standouts like mushroom and leek pies alongside spinach and ricotta filo.
  • Spacious Neighborhood Vibe: A spacious layout with lounge nooks, quiet streetside seating, and a welcoming setup for dogs.

Why Choose Ocab Bakery

Artisan European baking, dedicated vegetarian savories, and spacious cafe dining in Yarraville

  • Dual Craft of Breads and Pastries

    Unlike bakeries that focus strictly on viennoiserie or solely on rustic sourdough, Ocab handles daily crusty breads alongside intricate decorated cakes and sweet laminated pastries.

    Rarely does a bakery do both bread and pastries equally well...OCAB wins on quality and price point.

  • Dedicated Vegetarian Savory Baking

    Patrons seeking vegetarian savory fare can pick up hearty baked options like hot mushroom and leek pies that are difficult to find at conventional bakeries.

    i will drive from Melton to yarraville for thier vegetarian pies, especially when most cafes/bakeries this side of town have meat in them

  • Biscoff Croissant

    The Biscoff Croissant piqued our interest at the counter and I’m very glad we chose it. The flavoured caramelised custard inside (or whatever it was) took this from 8 out of 10 to like a 12.
